"Spinner" and "Spinner-Metre" reverted to default, what do I do?

I have two folders, both are completely original (the first was made by a friend, I added some stuff in the second with a partial copy of the first).
The first version works in its respective folder, but the second doesn't when it's literally the same elements.
Make sure they're named correctly. spinner-circle.png , spinner-metre.png

And of course if you're using @2x.png versions, make sure that your screen resolution is in the HD range, otherwise it'll revert to the regular versions; Which will be the defaults if none exist.

All the names are checked.

There weren't any "2x" elements in the initial folder; so I modified the second folder's images towards "both directions":
- the SC's dimensions are 750x750 and the SM's are 1160x834
- I made images half as big and gave the "2x" name to the first edition, but it didn't work, so I made bigger images (and the other things to do in that situation)

Nothing solved the issue, even after reloading and rewriting the version in "Skin.ini".

(What surprises me is that Taiko uses them properly.)

Just add a spinner-background.png (can be a blank 1x1 pixel). That makes osu! use the old spinner (the one that uses the metre).

Go to your skin.ini and set HitCircleOverlap to the width of default-0.png

How the hell do you get it to work?

I'm making a skin and I have what I want already, but I'm not sure how to apply it to the game.
I can post a screencap of the folder if needed.

I've tried putting input into the skin.ini but idk if my skin.ini is in the right format or what, but I just need help.

I have files for hitbursts, spinner background, and section pass/fail. 10 files in all, not counting the skin.ini.

So...what do I do to show the skin ingame?

So I'm, like most people here, making a skin.

Now I have been working on a follow like for like, three days now but it never seems to work like I want it to.
I tried copying the style of another skin, where the ends of the line fade out.

like this
And basicly remade my follow point in the same way he had.

his files

my files, tho my follow line is white so you cant see it.

however, instead of the smooth, solid like he has, mine turns out to look like this ingame.


I can't really seem to find any 'tutorials' regarding follow lines like this, so I was wondering if someone here is willing to help me out and explain?

make the line longer, that's the only solution. The problem is indeed happening, and there's no way of avoiding it, cuz the gaps depend on CS size, something we don't have control of.

yes, you can make pixels above the keys to make it cover the notes, make sure you have enabled KeysUnderNotes:1 in Mania portion on skin.ini

How to do not full screen in the skin? Often Cookiezi use skins with “box” screen. I have one favourite skin and I want to do this skin with no full screen. I know about to change window option, but I mean how to change it inside skin.
You can see example on the image:

in theory, you could hide the entire playfield, but that won't be practical.

Need help making the accuracy centered instead of being on the top right. I've tried skins that already have it(Some of Azer's skins) centered but it doesn't work in game for me.

It's not about the actually file, any skin I try with this accuracy centered does not work in game for me. I've tried making the transparent score-percent myself and adding it but it still does not work.
h3oCharles
have you tried reloading the skin with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S ?
HyoukaForGC
I've done that every time I add that file to the skin and when I add another skin that already has the feature in it

i'm trying to replace menu-background.png on a skin that I didn't make with a wallpaper, I already successfully cut from a song my own welcome.wav with Audacity so I thought it wouldn't be this hard to replace an Image
I have it named correctly and it's in 1920x1080, I don't know what I did wrong

I'm currently making an original skin. I can do graphics all fine and don't need them from other skins. If I take hit sounds from another skin is that considered a mix skin? Would I have to make or find them myself?

Using others sounds is fine, but it would be nice to give credit if you know the source.

Quick question, can I have multiple applause sounds in a skin? In the same way you can have multiple comboburst.wav with comboburst-(n).wav, can I have applause-(n).wav?

Thats not possible

Well, then how do you change the color of this outline? And something else, how to remove the number on the circle
RockRoller
Theres a command in the skin.ini its under [Colours] and it is named SliderBorder.

You just want to remove the numbers or you want to replace them?
