time and date?, thank you

That is allright, I guess a skinner would have specify exacly how to grab that variable before it could be implemented. I was thinking simple though, since all skins (that I know of) use the same image-files for the weather (taken from \XBMC\media\weather.rar which contains 48 PNG images numbered between 0 to 47), maybe the variable would be which exact weather image is loaded at the time (you know like how the currecnt weather condition is shown in the PM3 homescreen when weather is high-lighted), and the variable is just the number of that PNG image-file.
