time-of-day relevant site - 10/8/2007 12:51:23
you've all seen sites with headers and themes that reflect say the seasons - but how about one that changes according the time of day (for the viewer of course? for example a winter theme starts off white and bright and towards late afternoon gets bluer and then darker and starry. i don't mean quite in real-time but loading the next style sheet in the sequence in e.g. 2 hour intervals.
you know what it's like when you view a white background site at night time with low lighting levels - too bright!!! and vice versa in the daytime when you have a different site with a black/dark background that looks a bit out of place in a sunny room.
wouldn't it be cool. well it would if i knew how to do it :)

Ah I did this when my website first went live - I had the blue sky thing for the daytime and a lovely dark sky and moon (no comments please) for the night time - had it on a script that swapped the images depending on the time of day. Unfortunately the script has gone bye-bye a while back as I cleared out all the dead files in that folder.

You know what I think is better? I'd go for a seasonal thing rather than a time of day thing. You could have a little woolly hat on the Gecko in winter and sunglasses in Summer!! I've got a PHP script which will include content depending on the month - you could easily adapt that. (seriously - not just saying that!).

Would be cool and you could probably do it with just 1 JavaScript. It would run all the time with intervals but you could do it all with 1 JS.
