hmm, not doing that here. Probably because I am not on a proper 16:9 screen here....the percentage based scaling is a bit hard to work with.
Can you send me a screenshot - also are the buttons properly below the radar, or are they overlapping?
If you modify the text in OzWeatherButtons-estuary.xml
as you suggest (and restart Kodi)...does that solve it?

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...

Ok, the penny has dropped - I just couldn't figure out the conditional labels thing for weather values as it works the way I expect everywhere else... BUT _=->Kodi supports both farenheit and Celsius - and it's therefore (in the background) - converting all the weather values - and returns '0' for any non-numeric value provided....which is kinda stupid. Fine it should transform numerical values according to the units (if we _must_ support dark ages systems like farenheit...) - but if given a non numeric, it should leave it alone, really, rather than convert it to zero.
But there you go...So I can solve it by setting my own, separate weather labels - and using those in the custom skin files instead. Meaning I can now hide the feels like if it is not available. Which is what I will do.
(Still have to set the Kodi ones so other skins etc. don't break - but will just throw the current temp into the feels like and leave it at that, I think).

Ok, OzWeather 2.0.1 updated with changes discussed (get that on github until it gets approved for the Kodi main repo...), and skin patcher 0.1.8 pushed, with latest tweaks to match.
(make sure you re-start after installing & patching your skin as it's the combination of both things that achieve all the changes...)

Hi,
just wondering if you could make the text headings a brighter colour. The grey colour is hard to see at times. I am referring to the headings like "Rain since 9am", "Chance of Rain", "Sunrise" etc
Oh, like the new changes. Thanks for making them.
cheers
John
