I find that I've edited the following:

... so, for me, gauges are not as much carefree magic as a couple of
WeeWX extensions.  The black magic, of course, is in gauges.js and its
included javascript libraries.  There's no paramaterization of gauges'
appearance or even choice of gauges in skin.conf as a WeeWX user might
expect there to be.  My knee-jerk reaction is that most of the
top-level logic of gauges.js ought to be dragged over to
./skins/ss/index.html.tmpl, but, as a Python enthusiast, I'm
disgustipated by javascript to the point that reverse-engineering it
is a noisome prospect.

There may be a half-way measure to be taken.  I'm thinking the default
gauge appearance parameters structure could be exported from gauges.js
as a json file if it doesn't exist and imported to gauges.js to
overlay defaults if it does exist.  This json file would be edited
once, but it could be created by a cheetah tmpl, too, except that
means it would be recreated in every report cycle doesn't it?
... which would be stupid.  Gauge selection and layout is yet another
matter, though, but I'm thinking I'd tackle one or both issues ... in
my spare time naturally.

Gary, you've been through this rats' maze.  Are there blind alleys I
should avoid?
