Need to make it easier to customize the UI. Right now, many floaters only reload XUI upon viewer restart. Allowing all floaters to be reloaded through a debug action will make it so that you don't have to quit/restart the viewer to see changes.

https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Skinning#Phase_2_-_Switchable_Skins

  • Allow switching of skins without restarting the client
  • Make it easier to see the effects of XUI edits
    • eg., Changing the language setting will reload all UI elements
  • Dynamic Reloading of UI elements (Hot swapping):
    • Color definitions
    • LLUIImage should be able to swap texture assets on the fly
    • Allow reloading of XUI file for live floaters and panels, including the menus and overlay bar
    • Move different texture types into appropriate sub folders (OI Precache, etc) and use plaintext names
    • Ensure all floaters can handle missing UI elements and will behave reasonably or refuse to open with an appropriate message

Nevermind.

God, I WISH! Right now, I use OpenSim then Aditi to test all my skin edits, but it'd be so so much easier to just be able to reload the XUI while logged in.
