Good day -

I've tried searching the conversations for this item, and have read that section of the manual a couple of times, but I'm not being successful in my quest.

I am running weewx 5.1.0 on an RPi.

In my weewx.conf file I have modified my TimeFormats for month, year, rainyear, current, and ephem_year to 

%Y.%m.%d %H:%M

2024.10.25 08:45

This works for the Day page on weewx webpage, i.e., the date/time in the header, the date/time in the Celestial, and the date/time in the Statistics. As well, the Day .png images have my preferred format.

However, when I click to Week, Month, or Year tabs, the date/time bottom_label_format on the .png images remains 

%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S

Hyphens instead of full stops/periods, and showing seconds when there's no value to that level of precision. So somewhere I'm not updating some field properly.

I go into the Seasons skin and see bottom_label_format  for Day, Week, Month, and Year, they're shown as

bottom_label_format = %x %X

Does this mean that the date/time formats are being controlled by weewx.conf?

I did try modifying in the Seasons skin the bottom_label_format lines from

%x %X
to
%Y.%m.%d %H:%M

for day/month/year but that didn't seem to have any impact.

What am I doing wrong?

Images are regenerated only as often as their aggregation interval. It's possible that all you have to do is wait. Or, delete the images and they will automatically be regenerated.

There could be something else wrong, but let's start with the simplest!

Ah-HAH!

Here it is about 24 hours later (importantly, I think, just after 1500 local), and the new date format has propagated to the week/month/year images.

Thanks for the insight, Tom!
