After three years running weewx successfully (many thanks), I had to reinstall and now have 4.2 - no major problem except that after editing the new "Standard" skin without response, I noticed this was disabled in weewx.conf. Enabling this works and I could copy over my old skins and templates, but actually the new layout has similar functions and is good - except I can't join the dots produced by hourly data in my graph images. Where do I now adjust the line_gap_fraction, which I assume would correct this? I guess there is a separate default file, looked for deafults.py but couldn't see a corresponding option.

I assume you mean "Seasons" is the new default skin? Yes, since V3.9 (early 2019).

For line_gap_fraction, look in the Season's skin.conf, under [ImageGenerator]. It's been there as long as I remember.

Many thanks for the info. I now notice that new section, which I understand is now default when "Standard" is disabled. The software had been running well, so I had no need to keep up with upgrades. I now have another problem (failed outTemp) so will post.
