When I started I used YUGEN skin because it is simple and straight forward, but when I started getting better, particles started to annoy me. And at this point my quest of "perfect" skin started.
Quest:
I'm not a designer, and I'm terrible with photoshop/gimp or similar photo editing/drawing tools, not even talking about skin.ini hitsounds etc.
So I'm limited to skins done by others.
Criteria:
I looked Completed Skins reddit and youtube
I tried some skins that top players use, with no luck. And didn't found any "perfect" skin for me.
Other option was to find most suited skin for me and work from there:
And that was Redd Glass HD of course not the default one, I had to use some extras.
And it became like this (you should be able to see/hear all elements).
I did it is a "perfect" skin for me!!!
Two months later.. I got bored, and passively started searching what I could change in my skin... Youtube... I was looking through some plays and can across Quickiezi channel and on Top 5 osu! Skins Week 7.5 video "Ascended's+Eden+Mix" skin really stick to me and started using it, even though it doesn't follow all of my criteria I love it... At least right now
Of course one of the common Do not in osu! is do not change skin/settings etc.. frequently and since I changed it I got stuck in my rank and slowly falling.. And now I'm afraid that this skin will get boring too when I get used to it, and my skill will not improve again.
I ask you for guidance:

I ask you for guidance:
- What are/was your criterias?
- How frequently you change your skin?
- Maybe can tell your stories about how you found your skin?
- What would be your "perfect" skin?
