The min max stuff is handled by using the exact data the BOM provides, in the main observations panel at the top. It will e.g. switch to Tomorrow's max when that is what the BOM provides. In reality, the BOM only really provides today's observations, a partial forecast for the current day (i.e. depending on the time), and then 6 more days of forecast. So basically I solved it by moving all the current day stuff into the observations area, using the provided BOM data as is, and then moving from 7 to 6 rows in the forecast area.
The extended info is often MUCH longer - in your location, it might be shorter right now, but I test a lot of locations and some of them are routinely quite long (and interesting!). Plus, (major, current) weather warnings are now put in there, which are useful - e.g. during the recent massive storms in Vic here. In summer you'll see the recommended sun protection times in there too. So in all that area needs to have some space or it feels like too small an area for the content.
I don't really agree on the jammed comment, it's equally placed with respect to the titles at the top, so looks good to me...and the key principle for me has always been a one page shows all approach. But what I can do is remove the fade off in the background at the bottom that serves no good purpose and makes it feel more closed in...I'll do that.
Interesting about the feels like - I'm not sure I agree people wouldn't switch (e.g. the person above!) - but I will look at calculating it. I suspect, though, that it it is missing feels like, it's probably because it's missing one of the things needed to calculate it too.
Unfortunately the way Kodi works I can't just clear it, not have it, or not have a number there. The skin code in code is pretty rough once you start trying to push logic in skins, so there are limits...it will shove a zero in there when I try that, which is worse...
