Forum theme seasons?

So look, currently we have a theme (main web-site's background) that doesn't really fit winter... it fits spring more, I'd say. Is it possible for you, Wohlstand, to make it so the themes will change automatically each time a new season time will come? Like change it to a snow theme when it's winter; to a sun with blooming trees and flowers when it's summer or anything really, etc. It would be really nice to have this :) (in my opinion at least)

What do you think?

Nice idea :D
I think, I will try that when I will update something and when I will upgrade phpBBex to 2.0

Well yeah, I guess it would be cool if it changed season like say on december 21 to something like an ice level.

I'm from southern hemisphere, so the themes here will be the opposite of seasons in here. There are several exceptions, but in general, in forums that are worldwide known, I don't think season themes are a good idea.

Maybe the "location" setting in each user's profile that could be set to one of a list of (insert all the countries on earth here :p), and that could be used to change the theme at the appropriate seasons in the corresponding places of the world? :o

(Or maybe a separate "country" setting under "location", though that would seem somewhat extraneous, having 2 things for the same...thing. ยทยท)

If said setting is left blank or otherwise anonymized, the theme would just stay as the generic one that's used now, without changing regularly.

Thoughts? :o
