Actors' Custom Windowskins

XP

by Kyonides

Introduction

 Do you need to change the look of all of your windows based on who's the current  party leader?
Then you definitely have to use this scriptlet for sure! 

Setup

• This scriptlet should be placed among the very first scripts in the invisible custom script section below Scene_Debug.
  

• Go to the WinSkin module and add a new line per actor's ID like this:
  

Code:

Code:

SKINS[2] = "My Skin 2"

If you forgot to add a custom windowskin for a given actor, it will use VX's or ACE's skin by default.
