O.P. Huh?  How to set use others pictures???
Hello,

I have made a skin and i want the users to change the theme of the skin.

example: I have on the normal skin of the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory the background image of Sam. (Splinter Cell protagonist)

And i want to make a option so users can change that picture (if the want) by another background.

Does anyone now how to get this????

What you will want to read up on is User Modifiable Options (Click) in the skinning documentation.

Basically you will have to create an option where the user can select which background they want to use. Then, depending on the choice you will want to load the appropriate image resource into your skin. How this is done is well explained in the skinning docs (see the above link).

Well you've added the set of Negative resources to be loaded for when ChangeBkg = true, now you just have to add a set of Normal resources to be loaded for when ChangeBkg = false. Just copy and paste the same code and change the condition from true to false and the paths to the picture files.

No problem, you can also make use of MultiVal options if you want users to be able to select a background from a dropdown box.
