OK so I've been using the textedit2.dll to simply change the skins directory. however I want users to create their own skins without having to play with code adding code to change the skins directory. Perhaps a module or executable that can do something like LSTS.

are you talking about theme switching from a popup menu? if so, you could use themez4.dll

Ive done it with my new version of Thin...takes a lot of coding though.

let's say:
- put your skin dirs in "$ThemeDir$skin\"
- use scandir to scan "$ThemeDir$skin\" sub-dirs at startup and make the corresponding popup
- create a script called !ChangeSkin that will: delete "$ThemeDir$images\*.png", copy "$ThemeDir$skin\TheSkinYouChoose\*.png" to "$ThemeDir$images\" and recycle
