A question about managed OXZ's

Post by spud42 »

this isnt about any particular OXZ so i thought the discussion area would be the more correct one in which to ask.

I have just spent a little time looking at the wiki and through the forums but didnt find the answer i was looking for .
Through the Managed OXZ option i have installed several HUD's , my question is how do i change between them? or do i have to uninstall them all and only install 1 HUD OXZ ????
Arthur: OK. Leave this to me. I'm British. I know how to queue.
OR i could go with
Arthur Dent: I always said there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe.
or simply

If they're HUD Selector compatible, you can use that to switch between them. If they're not, then you need to decide which one to go with. As I understand things, the HUD Selector will let you select one non-compatible HUD installed along with the compatible ones. (I think it will be listed as "default" or something like that)

It's a quite clever little OXP of Norby's.
