WindowSkins XP

by Kyonides

Introduction

There was once a forumer that just wanted to be able to change a windowskin at will. Even if the guy never mentioned using a menu to achieve this goal, I simply went back to my script testing lab and came up with this script.

It overwrites Scene_Title's update method.

The script is compatible with Scene_Title and Scene_Menu, but the latter has not been altered at all.

The TITLE_COMMANDS array contains the commands that will be displayed on the title screen.

Every SKINS array entry will include a pair of strings as seen in this example here:

SKINS << ["Skin Name", "File Name"]

The MENU_POS constant tells the script which menu option it should pick after going back to the main menu screen.

The Script

Code:

module WindowSkin
  TITLE_COMMANDS = []
  TITLE_COMMANDS << "New Game"
  TITLE_COMMANDS << "Continue"
  TITLE_COMMANDS << "Windowskin"
  TITLE_COMMANDS << "Shutdown"
  MENU_POS = 0
  LABEL_CHOOSE = "Choose a Windowskin"
  LABEL_TEST = "Selected Windowskin"
  SKINS = []
  SKINS << ["Default", "001-Blue01"]
  SKINS << ["Windows Vista", "Windows Vista"]
  SKINS << ["", ""]
