Your specific gravity 'is' perhaps a 'little' high today, but not really :-) It is definitely a bit of a slog for the initial learning curve until you get your feet wet and realize you're probably over-thinking just like everybody else does initially. - Look at the CheetahGenerator section for how it works for defining what is processed when and how. - Then re-re-re-re-read Tags therein for how to specify things in a template file. - If you look in the Tags section there is even an example index.html.tmpl file that's very close to what you're looking to do. A totally minimalist index.html.tmpl file would look like: <html> <body> <h1><center>$current.outTemp</center></h1> </body> </html> It's really that simple. One tag in a minimalist HTML file. Once you have that working hard-coded, up the ante and style it with CSS to set colors and font sizes to salt to taste for you, along the lines of the CSS example link I posted for you earlier. One 'that' works, I'd *strongly* recommend packaging your custom skin as something the wee_extension installer can install. That way you will be able to easily rebuild your system and reinstall your custom skin in one command. It's a little more time investment, but generally worth it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
