you need to use spinner-background, that enables the old spinner style, then you can use the elements of the old spinner style which includes the metre

Just check this spreadhseet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bhnV-CQRMy3Z0npQd9XSoTdkYxz0ew5e648S00qkJZ8/edit#gid=2074725196

Thanks for skinning guidance! Do you know if ranking-replay.png is still skinnable or has been renamed to something else? Mine has reverted to the default "Watch Replay" button while my "Retry" is still properly skinned.

Edit: It works when I put the image into a different skin and use it. I have a feeling something in my skin.ini is preventing it (?) but I can't seem to find anything relating to ranking screen at all in there.

Edit2: Turns out it works when I switch my skin version from 2.4. to 1. Unsure why the only thing that's affected is the ranking-replay.png though, since the ranking-retry worked in 2.4

rankin-retry recently got reenabled across all versions, for V2 skinning you need pause-replay for the replay button

I never found out how to use a spin metre but I found something else I like and will be using. Thanks for the help anyway RockRoller.

Hi i’m new to osu and How can i replace the slider ball with circles?? Thanksss

I need help to (btw illpandaa I think you get a circle you want to replace it with (make sure it is the right size) and name it sliderb0 and put it in a folder and move the folder to Osu!'s skins folder and change to that skin in Osu!) I can't change the slider track and I named it sliderb-nd and looked at the spreadsheet you gave me earlier and I have no clue. Pls help.

slideb-nd and sliderb-spec are both files that don't really work.
To change the slidertrack you need the skin.ini command SliderTrackOverride:

i don't really get it maybe i need some knowledge in skinning but thankss!

2 things... 1. illpandaa I think you should try a skin someone has made like Yugen.( https://osuskins.net/skin/wEaMJGb ) 2. I do not know how to make a command in a skin. Pls help.

You need to have a skin.ini file for that. Really shouldn't be too hard. Your thing probably got messed up because you changed the Version: in the skin.ini. A skin without a skin.ini uses Version: 2.5 I beleive, so if you make a skin.ini make sure to set that

does anyone know a skin with rem from re zero?

What you are refering to should be either hit lighting, which can be turned of in the options, or you are looking for instant fading hitcircles, for which you can find a guide here: https://tutorial.skinship.xyz/guides/insta_fade_hc

Second,https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-evnz6stRVmxpKRBm9FPdiTDWaO9qDt7/view?usp=sharing

Ah, make sure to set Version: in the skin.ini to 2.5
This is Version:2.1 and below behaviour

Thanks, it worked. Now just to fix the image itself.

Now, for the second problem... have an idea?

scorebar-color can never touch the borders of the screen, since its offset by a certain amount of pixels (12,12 with -marker and 5,16 with -ki)

How do I fix the skin default? I mean like when it's 1-9 it's normal but when it goes to 10+ the font mixes it's like penetrating to each other. also, how do I remove the skin border? the square border like in cookiezi's skin?

There are only a few elements that can be animated, but all follow the same scheme. Make each frame of the animation a seperate file, called scorebar-colour-0, scorebar-colour-1, and so on

can "section-" be animated?

The whole point of the hitcircleoverlay is to have a layer that is on top (an overlay) that is not affected by the combo colour. So no, neither of those are possible

You can change the colouring of hitcircles in any way you want basically. Just go into the skin.ini and set the Combo#: commands

Hello! Not to be a bother but I have a question. How do I change the character that pops up whenever you hit a lot of notes? (Example: When you catch a lot of notes in Osu!CTB, A character appears for a second) My skin is going to be universal for all modes, If that effects anything.

those are the comboburst images:
- comboburst(-#) for standard
- taiko-flower-group(-#) for taiko
- comboburst-fruits(-#) for catch
- comboburst-mania(-#) for mania

For detailed info please make sure to check the skinnable files spreadsheet

(Sorry if I get anything wrong I'm a little new to skinning myself)

So for example if "menu-back-0" and "menu-back-1" has the same image but are in different frames, you'll want to take away a frame of that duplicated image. Thus making the animation faster

(Because 2 of the same frames makes that split second longer, taking away 1 decreases the time it takes to finish)
If you don't have your animation setup up by duplicated images in different frames then try going into skin.ini, there will be "AnimationFramerate: 1". You'll want to change the number, if you know anything about FPS/Frame Per Second you should do just fine adjusting the framerate,

but just incase you don't know, there's 12 - 60 frames for a normal animation, but you can go lower than 12 and higher than 60.

-Lower = Slower
+Higher = Faster

I hope this helps!

If you're asking about for mania, https://skins.osuck.net/, this is the one of the most helpful websites for skins.
Here is a skin I used: https://skins.osuck.net/index.php?newsid=726

There are other websites that does skins for osu players to use. I recommend using YouTube aswell because they showcase skins for all modes.

You go to the directory where you installed osu and go to the Skins folder. Once there you can create a folder, name it, and put all the files from your skin there. If it doesn't show up in-game, try doing the skin refresh shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S).

hello everyone
I just started making my first own skins today
so can you suggest me how to put megumin pic next to the mania stage
thank you very much :3

Open your current skin folder and find a file "mania-stage-right". Open an editing software and open the file that I told you to find. Create a blank canvas at the right of it and you can then paste your megumin picture there. Save changes and reload your skin.

thank you very much :3

edit: so if i want to mix the mania part to the other skin
so can you teach me how to do it?

Copy the skin elements from the current skins - since it's about mania part you just need to find every filename that has the word mania, and then transfer them into the other skin you like.

After that, reload the skin.

problem solved :b

Hi, sorry for the bother after many years, i'm in the making of my first skin, and I basically figured everything out, but there's one thing that I don't seem to understand: how do I move the song select menu?
I tried to create my own menu the only way i know how, and that is to make the selection-mode.png the actual menu, like in bacon boi from cyperdark, using the normal osu song select template and using the same image dimensions that work on the already mentioned bacon boi.
The placing was completely off so I tried to just copy paste the menu from bacon boi to my skin, the placing was still off, where did i mess up?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the nuisance Alan

Hello, how can the OSU skins that are on that computer be put on another computer?

Hi! Sure.

1.) Open osu! file location and open Skin subfolder.
2.) Copy all the skins you would like to put on.
3.) Do the same thing on another computer - open file location and go to Skin subfolder, and then paste the skins.
4.) "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Alt" + "S".

Change Colour#: in your skin.ini [Mania] config to some RGB(a) value where the a is 0.

The # represents the lane number starting at 1.

E.g. Colour1: 0,0,0,0
