Topic: Switch skins during set with action button?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Sorry if this was already answered before but I've looked in the forum and couldn't find an answer to this question.

Is there a way to map a button action to load a particular skin? I would like to be able to use say, the Pioneer touch skin and when the other dj comes to play, he can click one button and switch to say, the default skin without having to go to the menu>interface>load skin.

Sincere thanks for all the skin gurus out there, your work is truly appreciated!!!!

skin_load 'NameOfSkin'
Also:
skin_load 'NameOfSkin:VariationOfSkin'

Thank you Phantom, can you give me an example, I tried

<button class="padsmall_orange" action="skin_load 'normal' ">

Which never worked. Sorry, I'm new at this :(

The action to use is load_skin

Replace 'normal' with name of the skin variant (click the [+] in the skin setting for the skin you are using to see what variants it contains). And put a colon in front of it.

As example for the VirtualDJ 2020 default layouts :

action="load_skin ':Pro' "

Or if you want to switch between totally different installed skins, put the name of the skin before the colon
load_skin 'Old:2 Decks' (but probably not what you were looking for I guess, rather change variation of one skin)
