Known Issues

On some systems changing profiles may cause one or both of the following issues:

  • Using the "Show login screen on startup" may cause skins to incorrectly load.
  • Switching profiles may also cause skins to incorrectly load.

A skin Reload will fix the problem when it occurs. A couple of methods to achieve this are via a Keyboard Control or an Autoexec Service


Keboard Control method
Add the following code to your keyboard.xml file. (Do not duplicate existing tags)
See: Keyboard controls
<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
        <F5>ReloadSkin()</F5>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>


Autoexec Service method
Create an Autoexec Service that will automatically reload the skin after a profile has been loaded.
See: Autoexec Service
