Notes is probably the most important. They have a great effect when playing or the stagelight. You can have that big or invisible or just hardly noticeable, it all makes a difference what a player prefers. Column width is also a good thing to edit in the skin if a player has less less trouble with reading wide or super wide skin. The lighting effect can also make some difference when you notice it when playing but i think it is minimal because you have to pay attention for other things. I dont think there is any sort of in skins for mania that makes you alot better, only preference.Edit: For CTB note im not a really CTB player but i can imagine a round fruit skin that looks the same for anything, like just a blue ball or something could make a difference. Also making the numbers transparent maybe? Since i read some people complaining they are blocking in fl mode but i dont know.

(the lighting that pops up behind the grids when you hit notes)try not to use lighting N's and L's that are too flashy, people focus their eyes on that point when they want a high accuracy (although I use a flashy one since I look higher on the screen while playing)\"don't block the driveway\", hitbursts will always be there, so never make your hitbursts too high. smaller or thinner is better for some people. just don't forget to make 300 different from 300!.use a larger miss hitbursts than the other hitbursts.i prefer using note holds with a vertical gradient, it tells me how long a slider is and tells me when it's about to end.make your stage right and stage left as fancy as possible, no one looks there while playing.try not to make the hp bar too distracting.taiko:i don't really play taiko, but I think it would be better if the stage right contrasts the note colors (blue and red-ish)don't use a distracting pippidon animationcolors should be dominant on the outer part of the circlesdon't use a stage right glow that is too bright\/glowingmake sure the hitbursts don't block incoming circlesmake sure that the border between stage left and stage right is noticeablectb:i also don't play ctb but...use drop shadows for the fruitstry to make the fruits look as closely as possible to each othermake use of the fruit overlays to add lighting effects and shadows to the fruits to make the fruits more visibletry to make the font simpler, thinner, and smallermeh can't think of any more now >.<<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n osu!!!!!!!!1111!!!1!11!<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Ritsuko_old_1<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 20 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed November 2012<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Ritsuko_old_1<\/a>\n\n \n 2013-01-12T17:07:03+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BTf-Y4immCM<\/a>What's this is skin?
