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.
