Full Version: Custom command to switch skin??
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I would like to create a shortcut to switch to a different skin. How? Ive looked through all the built in functions, but cant figure it out. I want to make a shortcut to load a skin. Normal way would be to go to Settings/Appearance/skin and choose a skin. I want to make a shortcut to this path. Anybody tell me what the command would be?? Thanks!!!
Is this not possible?? Nobody here knows?
i don't think it is

Thanks Ronie, I just would think there must a way. Weird. It happens somehow in Appearance/skin. I just wanted to make a shortcut to the action right on my main menu, to switch skins. Didnt think it would be a hard thing to accomplish, but maybe im wrong. Thanks anyway.
the closest you'll get is by using:
Code:
Addon.Default.Set(xbmc.gui.skin)

that command will open the skin selection dialog.
you still have to manually select the skin you want to use though.
