Rune, Ok, I can see what you mean now. The issue is the translation of the word `meters` on the face of the cloudbase/skybase gauge. Unfortunately that translation is solely in the domain of the SteelSeries code; not weewx, weewx-wd nor the ss skin. I am not sure whether the SteelSeries gauges translate the units on the gauge faces or not. Though comparing you gauges to mine, I see I have 'metres' and you have 'meters', so something seems to be going on with the gauge face units. I will have a look at the SteelSeries code and see if I can work out what is the expected behaviour. But it looks like an issue to take up with the SteelSeries gauges author.
