I think it's a good idea, probably way beyond my scope really. I think the Homeland Security Advisory System skin works because it's a really simple system and available on a national scale (well global really).
I think this plugin would have to be email orientated for it to work for personal alerts. Developing a plugin to recognise particular subject lines and then displaying the relevent icons shouldn't be too hard.
Another example would be for Mail Monitor to recognise a certain sender, whenever they send you a mail, a photo of the sender could flash or appear on the bar. Hopefully there would be an option to browse for a picture inside Mail Monitor and link it with the Sender's string. Failing that i should imagine the skin.ini file would be easy enough to set up.
Hopefully we'll see an upgrade to the mail monitor(i haven't even used the current one yet) that will allow these sort of things. Sometimes i think i should have chose the route of being a coder.
Just out of interest what is a State 3 PNG. Does it just mean it can handle transparency?
