1) Yes. As long as the element DOESN'T PERFECTLY MATCH another element.
Some of the skinners here ask permission to the original authors for some elements. Some of them replicates an element (like me in some cases) and some of them places an element that he/she didn't create for the sake of his/her skin (illegal here, but not in pages and signatures).

2) Google is your best friend if you don't like to do the hitsounds in a hard way. The template skin is also your best friend too. Some of us (RARELY... I MEAN IT...) uses a Digital Audio Workstation / DAW in making hitsounds. Best examples of these are FL Studio and Cubase. If you want to know the actual sounds of the default skin, simply go to the first page of this thread. There's 2 links available; the choice is still yours.

Thank you so much now I know what the heck I should do

They are HD images meant for resolutions higher than some resolution I am unsure of. They are 2x the resolution of non-@2x files which allows for them to look better in higher resolution game windows.

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to add animations to the playfield, similar to the dancing kurousagi on this person's vid:

I'm not sure if it's part of the skin, or just video animations

It is made from the scorebar-colour I think.

Quick question: how are numbers aligned? does the centre of the image just align to the centre of the hitcircle?

Thanks in advance! =)

yes, it aligned to the center of the circle

Quick question, can you make a HD skin out of a SD skin? If so, how? Do you need to recreate every sprite in HD for it?

It must be the other way around.
(If you're skilled enough, why not recreate them in HD?)

Does anyone here know how to make REALLY good custom skins? If so please reply.

Ranking screens vary because of their image resolutions.

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to control the speed of the scorebar-colour animation. I've tried to add extra frames to make the animation slower or delete frames to make it faster, but these frame changes only come into effect when previewing the skin. When I'm in game the animation speed is always the same no matter how many frames there are.

AnimationFramerate: (value in numbers)

This code applies to skin.ini
This will help. The lower the #, the slower the animation.

I will just quote thing that I wrote 5 month ago.

MLGnom wrote: 3b6q29

That depends which one part you are actually animating.

With adding to skin.ini "AnimationFramerate: <Number of frames per second>" - This option will affect every animation that you have in your skin (except hitbursts and sliderball).
But now how to control speed with it and how to make different speed on different parts?

This is a tricky part. As stated AnimationFramrate is affecting amount of frames used per second.
Example: We have animated lifebar that contains 8 frames and animated skip button that contains 20 frames. We are setting AnimationFramerate to 4.
Full loop of lifebar animation will take 2 seconds , 5 second for skip button.
In other words The more frames you have and lower Animation Framerate is, then slower animation will be.

But now case where we want fast animation for skip and very slow for lifebar. Let's say we are using the same amount of frames as previosly stated (8 and 20)
You are setting AnimationFramerate to 10. Now you have pretty fast skip button but way too fast lifebar (less than 1 second to do loop) but you want it to be slow. So the only way is to increase amount of frames. You will need to duplicate frames few times.
Example :
scorebarcolour-0, scorebarcolour-1, scorebarcolour-2 and scorebarcolour-3 are using picture number 1. scorebarcolour-4, scorebarcolour-5, scorebarcolour-6, scorebarcolour-7 are using picture number 2 etc.

After that you will have "8 frames" as 40. So now with AnimationFramerate it will take 4 second instead less than 1.
It's not taking that much time as it's looks to duplicate frames. Generally only renaming them is a little annoying but still is possible to do this in few minutes.

(menu-back is not affected by normal duplication of frames. You need to add AnimationFramerate to control it's speed).

I don't know if this is just me but after today's update all of the hitcircle combo colours that are a part of a slider have turned black (not that I'm complaining cuz it looks pretty cool but I'm wondering if this is a glitch?)

He needed to restore it. Many people are used to that dim and I understand that. But we have alternative way to fix dimming.
Great option for people who can't use editing programs and just want to have more or less dimmed spinner background.

As stated in change log, add SpinnerBackground: 255,255,255 under [colours] section to remove spinner background dim. <3

And by changing RGB code in SpinnerBackground: 255,255,255 you can manipulate colour of that dim. For example :

So that it has a space in the middle?

it's okay to post a solution instead of just asking for , right? :p
[ for widescreen (16:10/16:9) skinners ]

I'm assuming you've already saw my post about stretching taiko-bar-right issue, so I'm giving y'all a solution :

Make the taiko-bar-right(-glow) HALF of the size template, which is originally 845*200 to 423*200, But, instead of just a canvas resize, do an image resize, or 'squeeze' your image.

NOTE: For Photoshop s don't add any blending options (glows, shadows) AFTER you 'squeeze' the image. Instead, flatten your layers first, then resize.
Same thing goes for any image editor.

But there's a catch:
your taiko-bar-right WILL be blurry (looks like you've just used a JPG on this element/not HD even on standard). A possible workaround would be make this element the only HD element on a standard resolution skin, thus the element dimension would be 845 x 400 (haven't tested yet, If anyone have tested this, let me know )

as an example below, I've just ONLY 'squeezed' the text, but method I gave above will work, hopefully.



this solution is dedicated to Uruoki, who has messed with this element for an hour, and finally gave up :p
Don't giving up, Uruoki, you can do this~!

If you want a super long cursor trail like the default skin trail then add a cursormiddle.png

Other than that it's just changing the opacity on the cursortrail.png image itself.

IIRC new skin doesn't use the playfield anymore

That new-ish update is really annoying for me - my old-style spinner now looks like turd because the meter is way off. Bummer. I'll fix it eventually.

Also just want to drop this here: the osu!mania combo number coloring (forgot the name x.x) is subtractive coloring, not additive (I wondered why 0,128,255 came out orange). Pick the color you want in photogimp and hit Invert, then use the eyedropper tool to read the result (or subtract the rgb values from 255)

1. Yes, new skin, even the old style, doesn't use playfield anymore EXCEPT:
when a beatmap didn't have any background. ~2007 beatmaps didn't have them, so your skin's playfield will be used (if any)

2. Yes, even I only skin for myself, that thing really bugged me off, i'd ended up using a minimal spinner instead

What's the difference between soft and normal hit-sounds? Is there a way to alternate between the two in edit mode?

maybe there's more

There are three different sets of hitsounds: Normal, Soft, Drum
You can't alternate any of the sets because it follows the mapper's settings from the timing points.
Why don't you just use a single set by using the same file (or sound effect) on the other sets?

A skin is not a file. The file is a archive and you you need to extract it first. After that put the spinner image into the extracted folder and place that folder into the skin folder in the osu! directory.

Mostly if a set of hitsounds or a single hitsound isn't included it means that the mappper finds the default sounds fitting for his/her map. Same rule applies to skins.

Any help would be much appreciated

This spinner-circle is designed for old skin behaviour and it won't work well with new spinner as it works differently.

To use that spinner-circle you need to uncheck "prefered new default skin behaviour" in options and change "Version:2" into "Version:1" in skin.ini of this skin.(Yes it have this option added).

change "Version:2" into "Version:1" in skin.ini of this skin.(Yes it have this option added).

i'm quite new to all this skins and stuff.. :/ how do i change it to version 1? from the skin.ini

Open notepad, move skin.ini to notepad to open it, find "Version:2" and change value, save it and reload your skin.
