Merge two skins

[ArkiTonio]

Hi.
Is it possible to merge two skins? One base skin common to various projects, plus each specific skin for different panos.
This method would make easier any little modification to the "style" of a group of panos, being common to all of them, without having to modify each one (think to some buttons in the control menu etc.).
Thank you

Just check the possibilitys of the components toolbox in the skin editor.
This should solve such needs almost perfectly.

HI ArkiTonio,
Yes using Pano2VR 5
You can set a tag in each pano and then under each elements visible logic block set the element to show when the tag is detected.
If your using visible and this brakes then use scale to 0 until tag is detected, then scale back to 1.

Using Pano2VR 4.
Again set a tags in the panos but this time use a node marker that will detect the tag and then show hide skin elements.

Thank you, Martin.
Already doing that to obtain each single effect or action...

But what I meant was something different.
Imagine you have a rich and complex menu you use almost always in your panos (call it "Base"); then in some specific project you should add some controls, saving the new skin with a specific name, of course (say "Specific").
Later you retouch the "Base" skin (change colours, position etc.)... Now you should do the same with every single "Specific" skin based on that, in every single project...

Is it possible imagine a more automatic method?
Some external, common, fixed skin, plus another specific one, loaded onto/into that...?
Thank you

For now it seems to me that the best solution is using the Components Toolbox, as soulbrother remembered.
Thank you, pal.

Hi Guys,
The only thing I can think of is if you need to re colour elements then use the colour tool.
But if the elements are image files then you will have to do it manually for each skin.
Of course if you have the elements in the components toolbox this would make it easier and faster.
