Not to burst your weewx fanboy bubble here, but its config is a total mess, 
to be fairly honest.
There's a weewx.conf that holds no "defaultskin =" entry anywhere. It does 
have
[StdReport], which every new user assumes is short for [StandardReport],
except it isn't, because under it you also find
[[StandardReport]] (which defaults to "false", strangely) and also
[[Defaults]]
both of which also do not hold default skin settings.

Seriously, it took me hours to find out how to get a skin for the standard 
html report to be used. I have never seen a config for a skin in any 
package before in my 40 years in IT that was so unclear. And no, it's not 
explained well in the docs.
