First make a note card called (Category Theme).Fantasy and copy the data of this one into it. The 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 just means no floor drop


// Our test note card
 
Author Name=Maddox Deluxe
 
// Theme [1]
Menu Button Name=Fantasy Tiger
BackDrop Texture UUID=8f304cf2-7120-24e2-d1f1-db6b31bd6f6c
FloorDrop Texture UUID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
 
// Theme [2]
Menu Button Name=Fantasy Car
BackDrop Texture UUID=517b2288-67ca-b14c-1de2-c5f5fdf5291f
FloorDrop Texture UUID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
 
// Theme [3]
Menu Button Name=Fantasy Tree
BackDrop Texture UUID=f6321118-cc24-6230-78a5-a257a3e33378
FloorDrop Texture UUID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
If you like to make it faster for loading then just make it like this

Our script that will load the note card is called (CODE).Notecard.Tester


<lsl> // Our test script for loading the notecard // place this script with the main note card one and then just click the object

// our test notecard name for reading string NotecardName = "(Category Theme).Fantasy";

default {

   state_entry()
   {
     
   }
   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
   key User = llDetectedKey(0); // sets the user key
   // sending user key to the note card reader script
   llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,0,"SetUserKey",User);
   // sending the note card name to the note card reader script
   llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,0,"LoadThemes",(string)NotecardName);
   }
