O.P. [REQUEST] Weather Skin
ok to be honest i would have loved to have been the developer to accomplish this but right now its way beyond my ability, i dont even know if messenger or even plus will let you do this but hey maybe one day.

i have windows vista on my pc and use the weather gadget to see what the weathers like, gadgets are made in xml and guess what so are skins, so it occured to me why cant one xml thingy work in combination with another?

so my idea is this, a skin that gets the current weather state from vista bundled weather gadget and based on what the weather is the theme of messenger would change accordingly, also this gadget shows night like images during the evening so when the gadget does that messenger could theme itself into a night time theme.

now knowing that whenever you change from one theme to another your loading a different resgroup im guessing it restarts messenger so like i said above may not be technically possible at present but would be nice if this could be acheived in the future anyways just some food for thought.
