I have a skin that I allow people to freely fork (if character images are replaced)
But given the new subforum rule that does not allow mixed skin even if having aurhor's permission (me). In this case, can I allow people to host forks of my skin in my skin thread?

Hmm, that is a good question. It should be fine, eventho no one probably would read the comments, which is why you may just wanna add a spoilerbox with versions other people made in the OP. (but please checj then if those are entirely made out of your elements and don't steal some from other skins)

Do you know if it's possible to use different textures for sliderscorepoint in different modes? taiko and standard share the same file by default, I'd rather avoid making 2 skin folders just to change that.

Sadly, no. There's no easy way to make osu! use a different slider score point file for standard/taiko.

I don't think you can do that, since the only time the numbers expand is when skin.ini version 1.0 is used, and there's no way of doing the fast fading hitcircle trick on that version

So, I'm looking at the skins that I have currently, and with the score numbers do I need to have them within the skin folder at small resolutions like 32x54 or 40x60?

If so, does anyone have any tips on making those small numbers not look pixelated when I do it? I currently use Paint.Net (because I don't have money for CorelPainter or Photoshop) I have done some things like going from the most usable non-pixelated resolution then resizing down to those small resolutions. I have tried using "small-preferred fonts" like Tahoma (much to my chagrin) to no avail. I tried doing the largest font possible at those small resolutions and increasing the sharpness and toying with anti-aliasing to have a non-pixelated image. Helpppp.

Think you just need to add a cursormiddle.png file. It's size doesn't matter and you can leave it blank if you want.

It might work by getting them to fade into eachother with a gradient

Hello! I just can not solve my problem, maybe someone knows the solution? I have a skin from www, in which I did everything for myself except one, this is the color of the circles. I went through several other color skins and did not understand how they were painted ... the only thing I found and tried to change the skin.ini, put the necessary colors in combo1-5, but the colors changed only in Approach Circle. how to make a colored combo skin from this ? here's the skin, if that https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g17RdcfMJ6E-qcBgph1zWjCtyULCtiOO/view


The "hitcircles" on WWW's skin are placed on the hitcircle combo numbers (default-n), instead of the usual hitcircle and hitcircleoverlay files, meaning they never get tinted.

Hi some of my skins have the image preview and some not even if thumbnails all always on. Can somone explain to me what makes it dissaper in some of them and how to edit the settings of the skin or skin itself in order have them visible.
Thanks in advance :)

skin.ini versions 1.0 to 2.1 do not have thumbnail support. All later versions do support them but I recommend using 2.5 out of all of them. Beware though, that this might break other things in the skin such as the thumbnail being positioned outside of the menu-button-background or the star indicator not working the same way.

remove the files that start with "default-" from your skin, then you take some "default-" files with dots from another skin and place them into your skin

Can someone make a newer version of this post? Some thing aren't added yet and I don't think that the creator still plays osu! because he was online 3 years ago :/

There is, in fact, a newer skinning tutorial. As of now, it's still work in progress, though.

If you want to use the new spinner format (spinner-top/bottom/middle/middle2/glow), you need to not have spinner-background present in the skin's folder (else osu! will use the old format (spinner-background/metre/circle)) and to have "Version" in skin.ini set to any version from 2.0 to 2.5.

This tutorial is pretty old so don't count on that. Though, there is a new tutorial in the making, you can check it out here.

Edit: Oops, I've already linked it for you in an earlier post, my bad. I generally don't pay attention to who the person I'm responding to is xd.

So i wanted to spice up my mania skin (merging skins in my case) and i saw something i wanted to implement in my skin but problems arose.

Starting off the skin showed below has 0 Mania images, their all deleted.
Example :

But the glow when hitting the key lights the blue/green color(which is the thing i want to add to my skin)
But since i have nothing to copy/paste in my folder im kinda stuck lol
If you are wondering or need to know this is BeastTrollMC's 2017 Skin would give DL if i could find it, Thanks!
