Well, the title says all, How I can set some preferences automatically each time when I select a determinate Theme, for example, on my ITG2 Theme the Percentage Scoring should be always On, but if before I was using other Theme where that option requires be Off...
How I can set that option automatically instead go to Options and set it by my self? Thanks in advance

From within your theme, you can use PREFSMAN:SetPreference() as it is documented in Lua.xml: http://kki.ajworld.net/lua/sm5/Lua.xml#PrefsManager
It's up to you to determine which screen is a good one to do this from. If I were to do something like this, I might use ScreenInit...
local t = Def.ActorFrame{
OnCommand=function(self)
PREFSMAN:SetPreference("PercentageScoring", 1)
end
}
return t
IMPORTANT: Any preferences you change this way will stay changed into other themes. Users may not realize this and be confused. It is probably good practice to let the user know somewhere in your theme that you've switched his or her preferences.

Thanks you dbk2, as always you help me a lot. This is what i needed, Im gonna add the preferences I think should be set by itself when the ITG 2 Theme is chosen.

And... yeah, you right... Due to this possible "problem", I will try to create a Screen or something for notice to each player that is using the Theme that some of their Preferences has been changed. Thanks again

Or you could just write the theme to ignore the preference and pretend that it's set to Percentage Scoring always.

While I am in favor of this in general, there is one slight caveat in this case. The percentage scoring preference affects the comparison between high scores, and thus which scores will be saved, and what order it considers them to be in.Post #6 · Posted at 2014-07-31 05:30:25pm 9.7 years ago

Yeah.It's called going to the 'Home' tab > Themes > Pick whichever theme you want to change for that month.
a.k.a There is no option/mechanic on the site that changes a user's theme every month. Do it manually.
