Curious if there is any simple programability or custom formatting, etc. that can be done to specific values before displaying them.
For instance, in the Weather applet there is an observation time "%observation_epoch" that shows how old the observation is. Unfortunately this is reported as an epoch (seconds since x date?) which isn't really useful to display. What would be cool would be able to do something with that - either as simple as calculating it to "42 minutes ago" or maybe something even move clever like changing the font color of the temperature to yellow or red depending on how "stale" the reading is. For that matter, being able to do custom formatting or calculations of any of the values would be pretty powerful (I'm thinking something along the lines of Excel formulas for instance). Or else being able do a sprintf or String.Format around it (or maybe run it through a regex??).
