Windowskin Changer Scriptlet

The primary functions of this scriptlet are to be able to change and reset the windowskin mid-game.

Changing the windowskin mid-game can be useful if you want to set the mood or vary the theme. As an example, if the game takes on darker undertones you could change the windowskin to reflect that with a simple command.

A word of caution, however, don’t overuse changing the windowskin, as it can become distracting.

Windowskins must be imported into the Graphics/System folder.

The list of usable windowskins is defined in the WINDOWSKINS hash. The default (used to reset the windowskins) is 0. It’s best to leave this alone unless you want to change the system’s default windowskin completely.

To change the windowskin, use the following:

   change_skin(windowskin)

where windowskin corresponds to the number in the WINDOWSKINS hash – NOT the windowskin filename.

To reset the windowskin to the system default, use the following:

   reset_windowskin

You can add more windowskins to the hash and call them during the game.

Copy and paste between Materials and Main.

Changed windowskins don’t automatically update, except when you open up the Status Screen. I’ll resolve this in a future version.

Some time in the future, the ability to use and change multiple windowskins will be added.
