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
