Yes... you could make that work, and with relative ease if you can program.

Set up your first layout in kgPanels and exit the game. Copy and save the WTF file. Repeat for the second and third layout.

Now create your own mod that has it's own saved variable of which the three kgPanel sets are three sub-tables and add a button you can click. When you click the button, it copies one of your three sets over kgPanel's current set, then reloads the game. Voila, you're done.

PS: I'm heading to bed early tonight... if you post back, I'm ignoring you, I'm just making up for nearly a week of debating the fools in the WoW UI forum over the new Bliz mod rules.

Lol no problem figured that was what you meant after reading a few of your different Posts before, RIght now I am just looking up on creating an addon (did the tutorials befor ebut found them slightly confusing..Lol) I am figuring it will take a lil while but I think i can mush my wa through this.

ok, i am working on it and i think i have a useable .toc file (lmao, of course) and for what I am thinking I will need an XML file or no? Because if i do then i have this pretty much made up (it was used as an example on some website again i know ima n00b)

I'm at work now, so I really can't look at this right now, but I will either during lunch or when I get home this evening.
