[QUOTE="osmyth, post: 1069088, member: 146742"] I have just installed MP1.6 and am playing around with plugins and skins. What comes across is that skins aren't really skins (i.e. how things are displayed), and plugins aren't always generic (a skin needs to support a plugin for it to work). As an example, if it worked I'd like to use the BBC Weather plugin, but it's only supported, a) by certain versions of MP and also only by certain skins. The skins seem to be different versions/flavours of MP, where the creator has added functionality as well as a different look (skin). Is MP2 designed differently? So a skin is just that and a plugin adds functionality regardless of skin. E.g. there should only really be a need for one weather plugin (which allows configurable source data and configurable icons, etc). Thanks. [/QUOTE]
