Ok, I've gone ahead and knocked up some Estuary skin files....about as much as I am willing to do since I don't want to use Estuary personally (it's all the untidy bits half on and half off the screen that bother me!)

Anyway - wiki updated with some screenshots etc - http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Oz_Weather - and you can get the actual files here: https://github.com/bossanova808/repository.bossanova808/raw/master/repository-downloads/Other%20Downloads/Skin%20Files%20for%20OzWeather/Krypton%20-%20Skin%20files%20for%20extended%20features%20(copy%20to%20Estuary%20xml%20folder).zip

As ever you'll have to copy over the files to your skin (Estuary) folder - to the xml folder in this case....or start your own fork of the skin so you don't have to keep doing this.
Working great & looks great. Using latest Leia nightly and Estuary MOD V2 skin.
Thank you

You're welcome.

At some point I'm going to add a bit to the add on to auto copy the skin files over, if all goes to plan.  Will make it easier - when your skin gets updated, you will just have to go into settings and hit a 'copy skin files' button...well, that's the plan anyway...

Hello bossanova808

I installed this and just wondering about the overnight temperature. I can't help but read that as the overnight temperature for tomorrow night, not tonight. I know it says "tonights low" but it is in tomorrows data.

Hi @Karellen 

Yeah, it can be confusing - but the low for any particular night almost always comes in the AM for the following day.  That is - BOM (WeatherZone) - don't report an overnight temp as such, but just a low for that day period.  And thus, for 'tonight'  the real low is the AM's low.

I suppose I could pull all the lows back one day...but then I think I wouldn't have a low for the final day, and technically they are all in the right spot .... I have just highlighted the figure that will most affect you in the short term, i.e. tonight's low...

@AnthonyB @fastdump @Gigantur @RB0135 @oandp - just a heads up in case you have not seen the above re: Estuary skin files released...


RE: [RELEASE] OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data - reapers123 - 2017-12-05

love the new skin files just wondering how can you change location now


RE: [RELEASE] OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data - bossanova808 - 2017-12-05

You can change the location in the settings (services -> Weather -> settings)

....I'll see if I can find some buttons & spot for buttons, though

 awesome thanks for that


RE: [RELEASE] OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data - bossanova808 - 2017-12-07

Ok I added a 'Next Location' button to the skin file ... find it at the same place...


RE: [RELEASE] OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data - reapers123 - 2017-12-07

new buttons work great if i use a mouse but when using a keyboard or remote i cant select either option any idea how to fix it thanks


RE: [RELEASE] OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data - bossanova808 - 2017-12-11

Sorry - I don't have a remote here where I do this....try it now, think that should do it.  By default it focusses on the play video button...and then any nav should just cause it to swap between the two buttons.


RE: [RELEASE] OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data - reapers123 - 2017-12-11

awesome works perfect thanks

 I hadn't. THANK-YOU!!!!!

I see in one of your earlier posts about requests for help on the layout of the data on right--hand side. I'll take a look as I've got some data labels over-lapping:

..oh, and a quick note re. the Wiki Documentation. It all refers to copying the files for extended maps into "skin/720p folder".
With Krypton Estuary skin it is simply "skin/xml folder" e.g. "
C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary\xml"
