Answer

Locate the file location of the skin you’re currently using. To do this, right-click the game’s shortcut and select Properties. If you cannot find the shortcut, search for osu! in your taskbar search. Right-click the icon, and select Open File Location. In the shortcut tab, select Open File Location. Your file explorer will open up, where you will have to navigate to Skins, and here open the skin folder you wish to change. In this folder, search for Menu to find the menu-background image file. This will be your current background. Delete or rename this file, and rename your new background to the same menu-background name.
