[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1069140, member: 109222"] Hi. In general (for every HTPC application) you can't use a GUI- plugin if there is no skin file at all. In MP2 all plugins has to be delivered with a (some) basic skin file, which is working together with all past, present and future skins. A Skin Designer can create a dedicated skin file for this plugin to get the best out of it if he wants, but the basic skin file always is a "fallback" solution if there is no special skin file for the skin you choose. Normally a user can't even notice if there is a skin specific file or not... With MP2 you will never get the issue, that your plugin won't work with your skin. So this is a huge step forward in this aspect. In MP2 there only is one basic weather plugin yet, but I would love to have a choice as like in MP1. In MP1 I definitely recommend WorldWeather as weather plugin, it is a feature "beast" and shows all informations you can ever think of. It uses many different data sources configurable by user and allows different set of GFX, all as the user likes... I can't even imagine a scenario where WorldWeather don't fulfil an user's needs...
