i have a small 1920x480 additional monitor to display system infos.
i have created a skin and i wanted to unload it completely.
but nowhere in the options i can find a possibility.
how do you unload all skins and layouts?
i have now done it this way.
I have created a new skin with only a 1920x480 black background image.
and i load this skin and its layout whenever i want to deactivate all other skins.
i have created a main skin with 165 skins and it's a pain to close them all one by one.
even if you added a small show on hover close button on each skin.

There no way to unload ALL skins with a single command, but to unload one skin, use !DeactivateConfig:SilverAmd wrote: ↑October 13th, 2021, 6:21 pm i have a small 1920x480 additional monitor to display system infos.

If you have a group of skins and want to unload them all, give them a common group name, then use !DeactivateConfigGroup:

Re: how do i unload a skin or all skins?
As I see you have a few notion problems.
For instance what do you mean by "i load this skin and its layout"? Have you created a layout containing only this skin? By default the skins don't have "associated" layouts.
Or what by "i have created a main skin with 165 skins"? Have you created a layout, containing those 165 skins? If you did, I say just an OMG! Activating 165 skins by one?
However besides SilverAyide's advice with creating a group of configs and deactivating this group (a good solution if the group can be created), another solution would be to create a layout, which doesn't contain any skin and would load that one whenever I want to unload all skins.
