Good, but sunrise is wrong
I realized that the sunrise and sundown times are wrong, no matter why.

Breaks some themes
I've tried this plugin out on some themes and found that it will break some, undoing their formatting until completely removed. It does not appear to break all. Just beware and check carefully after installing it.
