Changing Main Screen?

[William Grimsley]

Hi Steve,

Is it possible to change the layout or wording on the Cumulus Main Screen?

e.g. change 'Rainfall' to 'Rain'?

Thanks,

William

You can change:

1. The colours
2. The heading
3. The items in strings.ini
4. That's it.

Note that "rainfall" is the correct term.

Ah, ok. I thought 'Rain' was but now I'll change my site's data and graphs to 'Rainfall'. How come the NOAA Reports is shown as 'Rain' then?

I copied the format as precisely as I could from the ones that Weatherlink produces. Perhaps in the US they prefer the term "rain", but in the UK at least, when referring to measurements, the term "rainfall" is generally used. It's not something that I am particularly bothered about, it's obvious what it means either way. There may well be other places in Cumulus where I have used "rain", for all I know; sometimes it's a case of using what will fit. Unlike you, I have better things to do with my time than to agonise over things like this.

Bit harsh, I think. I do have a life other than Cumulus and my website but that's just how Aspergers works! Everything needs to be precise without having suspected OCD!
