Most players have different skins for when they are playing different kinds of maps, mod combinations, etc. For example: DT skins usually have simple white hitcircles, EZ skins very colorful hitcircles. As a result of this the player skin folder ends up having an unnecessary amount of skins where sometimes only a few things changes among them.

My suggestion is to add an option to add different profiles to a same skin and a shortcut to swap between them. The way it would work is pretty simple, using the skin.ini file we would use a line where a directory path would be indicated and a name would be set to it. Inside this folder would be pasted the elements for said profile. Lets say for a profile named DT, only the elements for a DT skin would be pasted there while the base skin elements would remain unchanged, similar to how skins currently works where if a element isn't skinned the game will load the default one. This way the player can use the same skin while only changing the few things that works the best for him when playing different things. Then this profile would be displayed right next to the skin dropdown menu in the game settings.

And it's also very important to add a shortcut to make it faster to change the profiles, for example CTRL + 1-9, so the players can easily change without having to go to the configuration menu and change it like we currently do.

In conclusion, i think this would be very useful for players like me who can only play at my best with certain mods if i'm using a skin that meet some prerequisites, and would also help skinners who sometimes have to make multiples separate downloads for the same skin where only some gameplay elements are modified.
