thats exactly how i want 365 to work eventually. the idea is that i would hard code things like christmas etc ones that happen at a certain time each year, use a medium coding for things like mothers day so an online calendar gives the skin the date ranges for those type of events and finally allow themes like birthdays and anniversarry's to be manually set by the user, however first i need plus to be made capable of controling this 3 tier system once thats in place i will do this in 365.
regarding the limitation of needing to restart messenger to apply the new theme, maybe plus can be done in such a way that it can sense the date change and upon the date change occuring to the required values a popup arrives advising you that auto-theme wants to change your theme so if you click yes itll restart messenger loading the new theme, if you click no it launches skin options and you have to select something other than the autotheme option.
