since UI is open source my suggestion to handle different UIs:

- define location folder to put different custom UI .pk3
- drop-down list at the user menu to select the different UIs

The idea is to change ui like a skin to the client application.

well. technically there is this cvar ui_menuFiles that points on the currently used menus.txt file. but i found it has no real effect. you can load different .menu files, but you need to mod the menus.txt instead of pointing ui_menuFiles to another menus.txt.

But i agree. a skin selector would be nice. (if that cvar would work as i think it should, that wouldnt be to hard to do.)

Problem would be though: after all your server would need to have the skin, orit will be disabled when returning to the main menu. (this wont get "fixed" or better changed, since it would require modifications to stuff the pure server check and stuff like that).
Next problem would be that technically someone would need to check those 3rd party skins for e.g. ToS violations.
