I have been playing with configuring my web image to my liking and have
goofed up the original so much that even trying to type in in from a
paper copy (not easy on a Rasp Pi 400 keyboard!) is almost hopeless.

I would like to find an original image of the seasons config.skin to
download and make the necessary changes that i think I have finally
figured out.

Is there an archive or host (such as github) with just THAT?  If I
download the whole weewx install I don't think it will overwrite my
current (messed up) changes.

I am not sure if I really understood what you are looking for, but if I got it right, this is what you are looking for:


But for what it's worth: you're probably better off not changing the skin's skin.conf, but make the changes in your weewx.conf. How? Like described in the customization guide: https://weewx.com/docs/latest/customizing.htm#Processing_order

Quote: " Although it is possible to modify the options at any level, as the user of a skin, it is usually best to keep your modifications in the WeeWX configuration file (weewx.conf) if you can. That way you can apply any fixes or changes when the skin author updates the skin, and your customizations will not be overwritten."

Just clone the repo to a scratch directory

  • git clone https://github.com/weewx/weewx /var/tmp/weewx-clone
  • cd /var/tmp/weewx-clone
  • git tag
  • (see all the tagged versions ? The one you want is v4.10.2)
  • git checkout v4.10.2
  • cd skins
  • (the Seasons skin there is the one for that version of weewx)

If you go to the WeeWX home page from the DOWNLOAD menu select released_versions (http://weewx.com/downloads/released_versions/) and you will find all of the previously released WeeWX versions. Download the tar.gz of the version you are after, unpack it using tar xvfz weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz (where X.Y.Z is the version number) and you will find the Seasons skin files under weewx-4.10.1/skins/Seasons
