I'm confused (again).
You mention that you CAN use an older version of a skin even in a newer
version of WeeWx.
I have a WeeWx 4.5.1 running with a Seasons skin that I like. Somewhere
along the evolution the way that the newer versions handle the plots and
the summaries was changed, and I assumed that to run the newer versions
of WeeWx that those old skins were not compatible with the current release.
I haven't gotten things figured out yet, but perhaps should just hold
tight and wait for 5 to come out and then tackle learning the finer points.
I was just taken aback by Tom's comment that older skins were OK to use.

Sorry. I had assumed you were still using your v3.9.1 Seasons skin. If
that's the case, the tag $current.barometer is in the file
Seasons/current.inc.
Incidentally, there's no reason not to continue using your old skin.
But, if you are actually using a V4 skin, then to answer your questions:
1. The line "#set observations = ..." is actually saying get the set
of observations from $DisplayOptions. If DisplayOptions does not have
an entry, then the fallback is to use just outTemp and barometer. See
the configuration file skin.conf for what's in DisplayOptions.
2. You can specify an override for the barometer formatting for the
unit "inHg" in weewx.conf:
[StdReport]
...
[[Defaults]]
...
[[[Units]]]
...
[[[[StringFormats]]]]
inHg = %.2f
3. I'm not following your question about "LakeElev". I don't know what
that is.

Where do those 2 formatting statements go?
Also, why, in current.inc, is the line
#set $observations =
$to_list($DisplayOptions.get('observations_current', ['outTemp',
'barometer']))
containing only outTemp and barometer? Where are the rest of the items
displayed in Current Conditions? Sorry I'm just not getting the
formatting layout big picture. Yes I'm reading the customization guide
but I'm having questions as I read it.
Thanks!
