Yes, that is the intention. Another option is to override [DisplayOptions] and, for that matter, [ImageGenerator], in weewx.conf. That way, if a new version of a skin comes out, you don't have to do anything. Just slip the new version in place. Unfortunately, that's not always possible because some things cannot be overridden. In particular, the templates themselves.
Thanks for giving it a thorough try!
