Skin recommendations for 5" screen

[Jacob Mann]

I have a 5" touch screen for my Raspberry Pi.
I was thinking of putting it in kiosk mode- so it boots and displays my weather data- looking for recommendations for a skin that is suited for the small screen (and likely, little to no interaction- so the current smartphone report doesn't cut it for me)

Not fancy but gets the job done for my mobile page. See attached.

My Belchertown Skin has a Raspberry Pi Kiosk mode. 

Unsure how it scales on a 5" screen, but it looks pretty good on my 3.5" screen.

i use the 7" pi touch screen for my weather display.  the app running is a custom c++ app.

If you are using WeeWX 4 and Python3, you could try out WeatherBoard.  I run it continuously on two tablets in my house.  It’s good on an iPhone, so It may be fine on a 5” screen.

You can see it here:

I warn you that it displays exactly what I want to see (see lower left).  That may not be to your taste.  Also, beware that I’m the only user of this.  It has been stable for me, but you may encounter issues.

It updates on every loop packet (for me, that’s every two seconds).

You would need to install:

and

Note: the icon, title and sub-title are configuarable.
