The developer divided the app, so now there’s Weather Notification itself & one ‘app’ for each skin (mainly to reduce the application size as I understand it) – see https://code.google.com/p/weather-notification-android/wiki/WhySkins
The f-droid repository contains only the main app, so after installing it you have to download the skin(s) from Google Play Store… Maybe it’d make sense to add the skins to the repository.
There are currently four skins availabile since skins were announced so it hasn’t taken off. If there were any more youd have to object to the clutter. Maybe it would be possible to have each skin as a version of the one skin app, or even better, bundled with the main app.

As I understand it, it wouldn’t really make any sense if there were more skins. The four skins are for white & black digits (with and without a plus sign for positive temperature): “All the numbers with temperature values you see in the notification bar are the images. It’s the ugly limitation of the Android platform. The separated image is required for each temperature value and for different screen resolution. The full pack of images takes about 500 Kbytes in the application.” (see https://code.google.com/p/weather-notification-android/wiki/WhySkins)

Yes, maybe it’s a good idea to have each skin as a version of the app. Honestly, I think two versions (black/white) would be enough (who needs the plus sign…).
Weather Notification has been updated to use openweather api (google closed theirs) and two skins were added
The weather app is broken for me on CM9 but so is the apk for the same version on google code.
The app works for me on CM7 now but the black skin won’t install FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE
