Theme change on-the-fly (variables based on date and time of the day, weather, etc.)?
#12
Im pretty sure this can be done right now with multiple images with diffferent visibility conditions (same fading animation) along with a python script that runs on a timer that manages the skin settings. Even changing font colors could be done by fading between overlapping label controls (with only one visible at a time).

Might not be the most memory efficient though... and the skin xmls would get alot bigger (mostly copy and paste). If an image control is completely faded out does it still take memory?

I'm not sure if its possible for a skin to start a script at startup... anyone know?
