RE: Feature Request - Skinning
Date based changes will only be checked/applied when one starts (or restarts) messenger, so not if you keep your comp on 24/7 with messenger logged on all the time. As such I see not much use for a popup as it can't warn you between start ups.
A skinner however should think of the end-user when putting in these things in his/her skin. Think of things like the seasons not beeing the same all over the world.
To solve this, aka make the skin usable wherever the end-user resides, the skinner can/should use a boolval/multival or even a combination of the two to give the user every possible choice (turn feature on/off, choose date/date range 1 or date/date range 2 etc.).
Also remember a skin does not have the same abilities as a script, so not everything you can do with a script can be done with a skin.
