Ok, so I have completely re-written the Confluence skin file (I start here as this is what I use). Along the way have made a bunch of improvements and fixes to OzWeather itself.
The new skin file is all written with percentage based placement. This should mean it's pretty much usable out of the box with most other skins, with _much_ less work needed to adapt it. But will have to see how this goes in practise, and weather there is some sort of clever way to have a sort of base skin file with adaptations for each skin, or something.
Kodi's skin files are in some ways amazing, and in other ways incredibly dumb. E.g. you can use variables, but not where you might actually want them, like for positioning things. Sigh. And each skin supplies it's own set of font sizes, which is just monumentally stupid really. There's no standard set. So that complicates things rather a lot.
Anyway - I need to do some tidy up and what not before it's back in a usable stare for testing. Not quite there yet....but hopefully tomorrow.
