The option unit_system is included in new, fresh, installs, but
it is not injected into old config files. You must have started,
somewhere, with a fresh install.
Think of unit_system as a shorthand for a bunch of unit group
settings.
NB: this is still in flux. The option may be moved to sit under
[[Defaults]], instead of directly under [StdReport].

Thanks Tom,
Now for the next issue, although I can't recall precisely
what I did when.
Only after yesterdays post did I notice that the wind vector
plots were missing, so I thought I'd try to apply your
patched code. I may have done completely the wrong thing, but
it was all I could think of instead of waiting for the next
beta release.
I downloaded the development code from github as at
2021-11-22 05:15:00Z
I updated all the newer bin/weewx python files and merged the
skin changes.
Python files updated were:
* defaults.py,
* cheetahgenerator.py,
* units.py,
* manager.py,
* restx.py,
* reportengine.py
After the normal upgrade via .deb file to beta 7, I am sure
the graphs were displaying in my required units.
However, after the most recent changes the graphs are now in
US units.
I see a setting has appeared in my weewx.conf, saying
"/unit_system = us/". I know I'm getting old, but I don't
recall putting it in there - did it happen automatically as
part of the 4.6.0 upgrade?
Did I miss reading some documentation about changing the way
units are specified?
I had up to 4.5.1 used a section in my weewx.conf overriding
the Unit-Groups section. This is partly because the
Australian standard system reports wind in km/h and rain in
mm (half metric, half metricwx) I put the groups under:
[StdReport]
[[Defaults]]
[[[Units]]]
[[[[Groups]]]]
with my /Defaults /being the last section of /StdReports/.
Is the order important? My group definitions seem to get
ignored, although commenting out the /unit_system = xx/ line
seems to revert to the old pattern and it falls back to using
my Group definitions.

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!

I see for beta6 you were asking for experience on
customising Seasons skin. I have a renamed and
customised Seasons skin so I thought I try it out.
Customisations are fairly trivial - graph size,
colours, content of each graph, one extra dataset
from mem.py
Debian 10, mysql DB system.
Upgraded system from .deb file - no problems with my
customised systemd unit files.
I did a normal package upgrade from 4.5.1 using the
.deb file and retained all existing settings. Then
did a few diffs to merge in new parameters.
I noticed weewx.conf had a the huge chunk of stuff
missing from [[defaults]] - units, labels and such.
I think that has been picked up already so I carried
on with my old content.
This then ran using my old Seasons-x skin folder and
looked OK.
I switched to default new Seaqsons and it was OK as well.
Duplicated the Seasons folder and merged my config
changes into the new skins file. The changes were
nearly all in places that were similar to the old
format, so it was all quite straightforward.
The only thing I found initially a bit confusing was
the "DisplayOptions" section where it says I can
override the values in the config file. My
impression is that I need to edit the rest of the
skin config file anyway in order to manipulate the
graphs so it made more sense to me to simply edit the
DisplayOption parameters in place. Is that the
intention?
Cheers,
Cameron.

Pretty much the same as beta-6, except it fixes a
few annoying bugs:
* Search list no longer grows without bounds.
* All images are no longer regenerated with
every reporting cycle.
* Data types that are null at the beginning of
the year, but later non-null, are now
properly displayed.
