Firstly, don't keep calling LoadSchemeFromFile(), just call it once per scheme you will ever use (so in a constructor somewhere). Then in your reset code just do a SetScheme( <scheme id> ) on the panels you want to change for the player. You then need to call InvalidateLayout( false, true ) the panel to cause it to reload its scheme settings (don't ever manually call ApplySchemeSettings() ).
