[QUOTE="AlfredENeuma, post: 918625, member: 83302"] No, you are not clear in your understanding of the basics of a plugin and of a skin. A [U]plugin[/U] does [U]calculate[/U] something and provide the results to some variables. A [U]skin[/U] does [U]display[/U] something which is calculated by the MP kernel or a plugin. So, you could use any plugin (even if it is not supported by the skin), but you just would not see anything (as it is with the self defined calendar dates). If you want to see the results of the plugin, the [U]skin[/U] has to define where to display the results. The plugin maker is the guy to change something if a result of a calculation is wrong. The skinner is the guy to change something if a result is not displayed or displayed at the wrong place. Again no, at least not as long as the plugin installer does not overwrite skin files. And if you look to the posts of the different versions of WorldWheather, on most of the updates you will find "no change in skinning", at some you will find "hint for skinners: this has changed". As a result of the first answers, nobody will be able to fulfill this wish, except if you use a commercial product where 1 guy is responsible for all the kernel, all the plugins and all the skins. So obviously you also are not clear in the principles of open source, and again - obviously you did not read any of the principle manuals in Wiki for skinners and plugins. So what the hell you want with Regards Alfred [/QUOTE]
