Those 48 conditions could simple be made to represent the brightness value of whichever theme color is used (so they do not each have to represent a color, 'just' the brightness level). Like how the brightness changes during the day in the Sony PlayeStation 3 XMB dashboard, see; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Media...or_schemes

So the skinning could choose to chance the brightness level on the weather instead of the time of day Nod
