General Options | Docs | Neoground GmbH

==> Settings: General Options <==

The skin.conf configuration file contains many possibilities to adjust the NeoWX Material skin to your needs.

This page contains information for the general options and gives you an overview of all available options.

Appearance (Styling), Translations and Expert Options are described more detailled on the following pages.

All values here are found in the [Extras] section of the skin.conf.

After changing your skin.conf make sure you reload or restart WeeWX. Some reports are not generated every time, so your changes may not be displayed on all pages immediately.

Archive pages are only generated once. After bigger changes you may need to re-generate them. See clean up after skin change on the installation page.

->> Skin Updates & Custom Config <<-

If you make any changes to the skin.conf to adjust this skin to your needs they might get overridden on the next update.

To keep your settings you can add them to your weewx.conf.

In the section where you set the template you can override most config values for this report, like labels (used for translation). But you can also override default settings of this skin there.

Example weewx.conf excerpt:

[StdReport]
    [[StandardReport]]
        skin = neowx-material
        enable = true
        HTML_ROOT = /var/www/weather
        [[[Extras]]]
            language = de
            color = teal
            [[[[Header]]]]
                show_almanac = no
                show_logo = yes

This example will use the neowx-material skin but override language, color and two header options.
