I use T! skin but with my modifications... so I have my xml's...
every time I install "my" skin in other pc, I am replacing the xml's I edited, but:
the skin defualt options needed to be change from "skin settings" menu, because their defualts is different from what I want...
I know the names of the options I want to change, and I made a list of all the "Skin.HasSetting(.....) that I want to change by defualt, but they are sitting in the gui.xml in userdata,
I wonder what is the easies way to make a simple code that checks if the skin is running for the first time, and the apply some skin settings to the gui xml....
example:

the defualt skin option is to show a medium list in Fanart View, and I want a Long List by defualt - Skin.HasSetting(FanartNormal) , and I want Skin.HasSetting(FanartLong)
so I want to put on startup.xml Skin.ToggleSetting(FanartLong) or something like that, but only for first time, so If someone after the first install want to change my defualt settings - he can


Need some Help please... Thanks

You can check your (special) first run by setting your own first run value when you run it.

<onload condition="!Skin.HasSetting(FirstRun)">Skin.SetBool(FirstRun)</onload>

Now you can set all your other values before you do that, based on that same Boolean.

<onload condition="!Skin.HasSetting(FirstRun)">Skin.SetBool(FanartLong)</onload>

All values get set based on not having the FirstRun setting, until at the end you set it.
And next time they are read they don't get set.

First Of all thanks,
But let me understand..
then First Line is checking if "FirstRun" doesnt excist - then It set it to true.
then the second line check again if "FirstRun" doesnt excist - and it should not work because the condition is false right? FirstRun already excist now...
Maybe If I Replace The order? Like put all of the Skin.Set.... commands first, and in the and Set the FirstRun Value

Ok Forget about it, I added a Button in "Skin Settings" called "Set Defualts" - and when click it he just set what I want... better then auto-start and sh*t :]

That is what my post says you should do yes.

you can set all your other values before you do that (before setting first run value)

So this:

Code:

<onload condition="!Skin.HasSetting(FirstRun)">Skin.SetBool(FanartLong)</onload>
<onload condition="!Skin.HasSetting(FirstRun)">Skin.SetBool(FirstRun)</onload>
