Skinned 0.01

(c) 2026 R. F. Windley & The Really Small Software Company


Skinned applies the theme selected in Choices:Themes.Choices when the
desktop starts. It is a reimagining of Theme Selector by Chris Wraight,
and reads the same theme directories and Choices files, including those
written by Skinny.


Supported systems

The running OS is read from Boot$OSVersion (OS_Byte 129 if that is not
set). Resources.Versions lists the Choices tokens each version cannot
use; it is the same format as Skinny's Versions file.

  RISC OS 4.02        IconSprites, ToolSprites, WimpVisualFlags.
                      No window outline or WimpIconBorder settings.

  Select (4.29-4.39)  IconSprites -priority, WimpVisualFlags and
                      WimpIconBorder. No window outline settings.

  RISC OS 5           WimpVisualFlags including window outline colours
                      (WindowManager later than 5.00). Settings from
                      !WimpVF (Choices:Boot.Tasks.WimpVisualFlags) are
                      kept. No WimpIconBorder settings.

  RISC OS 6           As Select, plus window outline colours.

Switches already in Choices:Boot.PreDesk.WinSetup and IconSetup that the
theme does not mention are kept. A token set to No removes its switch.
Tokens the running OS cannot use leave the existing switch alone.
