First of all, nice work! Really nice looking skin :)

Followed the installation instructions but got this issue

I resolved by removing the part about forecast generation, i.e. 'user.forecast_util.ForecastUtil', and it is working. However, I think this is unexpected behaviour due to some mistake in the installation. Do you have any idea what the issue is?

Thank you for the kind words!

Yes, this is a bug. The default skin.conf and the readme are currently wrong.

user.forecast.ForecastVariables AND user.forecast_util.ForecastUtil should only be added as search_list_extensions if weewx-forecast is installed. Otherwise, weewx will throw the error you described.

Thank you for catching this and opening an issue! I will push a fix by the end of the week.

Glad to be of some help :)

Ok, I updated the readme and released v1.3.2 with an updated skin.conf. This should solve the issue, thanks again for reporting!
