Skin used on http://www.threefools.org/weewx/ site

[Alan Major]

Is it possible to download the skin used for http://www.threefools.org/weewx/ ? I'd like to give my site a make over ...

Thanks.

This is the new "Seasons" skin. You can find it in the "newskin" branch of the WeeWX GitHub repository. Download the branch, either using git, or as a zip file, then ignore everything except what's in the "skins/Seasons" subdirectory.

Our plan is to have it eventually replace the venerable "Standard" skin. It's still a work-in-progress, but seems reasonably stable.

Thanks for the link. I have re-skinned my weewx site using this skin and am very happy with the fresh new look.

The only issue I have run into is that when viewing the site on a touchscreen device it is not possible to see the time of the hi/low observation but of course this isn't a weewx issue per se. Is this something that you are working to overcome or this the way it is going to be?

Very nice! I especially like the wind quadrants. Where did you get those from?

Matthew is the author of the new skin. He'd have to answer your question about the inability to hover in order to see the min/max times.

hi alan,

your site looks great!

i see that you added some sections.  what do you think of the structure of the templates?  is it difficult to understand and modify?

i hesitated to use :hover since (1) it results in a user interface that is not obvious, and (2) it does not work in a touch interface.  but displaying directly the date/time for each field uses too much real estate.

do you have any ideas for display a lot of information in a small space, without becoming too cluttered?

The wind roses are part of Greg's Weewx-WD extension.

OK, I'll wait for Matthew to see this discussion and hopefully comment.

Thanks for the positive comments.

Adding the new sections took some 'trial and error' as I am no expert but the fact I succeeded must be an indication that it is is reasonably straight forward. I suspect for someone more skilled than me it would be easy and I am sure there are more efficient/elegant ways of doing it than I took.

Interestingly the Highcharts I use to display my Comparisions do have 'pop-up' capability to show additional information which works on touch screens. I have to confess that I do not know how this is achieved or whether it would practical to use the same approach for the weewx Hi/Low times. Screen real estate is an issue so if 'pop-up' functionality could be implemented it would be a good solution because the supplemental information is not always needed.

Tom, you disappoint me, I thought you would have seen those plots before. I wrote that generator a few years back when Greg and I were writing weeWX-WD. About 18 months ago I broke it out as it's own extension on GitHub. Neil Trimboy and I are currently working (somewhat sporadically) to teach it generate a few other types of wind plots as well.

Sorry. I'm having a hard time keeping up! There's now 25+ drivers, 10+ services, 20+ uploaders, and at least a dozen skins, and that's just what's listed on the Wiki. Can't keep them all straight... 

That doesn't bother me, but what does bother me is sometimes overlooking all the work others have done in making the weeWX ecosystem so fantastic. Thanks, all!

Forgot to say I will add the generator to the wiki once Neil and I are done.

Might be a silly question. I have generated the windrose images by installing the extension. How do I now include them in my page?

[Andrew Milner]

by editing the template

[Praveen Chandrasekaran]

Would that be skin.conf?

1.  you said you were generating the images - so presumably you have edited a skin.conf and you are actually generating the expected .png image file. 

    1a.  You can check they are being generated by checking the images directory - and check the file's timestamp.

2. To include the .png generated in step 1 on a web page you need to make sure the file generated is inserted by editing the required place of (for example) index.htm.tmpl to allow cheetah to generate the index.html file.

[Praveen Chandrasekaran]

Thanks the images are there i already checked that . I was not sure which file to edit to include the same. Now clarified.
