I think that many are aware that there is not a good facebook skin anymore because facebook made some changes to the code... Of course you can get the notifications rss but it is not as practical as knowing that there is a message waiting for you without opening your browser.
So! I thought that it would be possible to create a skin that only shows if there is something new, like friend request, message or notification. Just like this: http://troll-face.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/notifications800-170x100.gif (In white icons and transparent background to match my other skins
) Since it only shows if something is available, it is not something of critical value and maybe there is a way getting the values from facebook. I found the following code in the starting page at facebook and someone might have an idea about getting the 3 values of friend requests messages and notifications that are waitting to be shown to the facebook user... After getting the values everything else is rainmeter coding.
(Please let me know if there are already other skins for this job, if there are other posts that i didnt notice, and if what i suggest is possible.)
Facebook code from starting page:
