I like the idea of submitting plugin graphics. I have done a set of pics for Horus' Weather Moon skin and am slowly working on a new set of weather condition graphics.
Also, regarding METARs, the VB script I have been working on translates METARs, although it is not perfect yet as there are a lot of variations to consider, especially when you consider international differences in the format. But right now, it can translate most "normal" US METARs and also show trends (rising, steady, falling) from the previous report.
But.... if you want METAR's translated for you, try the ADDS web page. The link below will show the current translated METARS for Chicago-O'Hare and Frankfurt. Not sure how easy it would be to grab with the weather monitor though. ???
