v1.14.11

Hourly Forecast visual refinement

• Reworked the normal Hourly Forecast into translucent micro-cards so forecast data stays readable over busy LibreDisplay backgrounds and NatureScape scenes.
• Hourly entries now have a clearer visual structure for time, condition icon, temperature, precipitation, and wind.
• The existing dense Hourly Forecast remains supported instead of being replaced by oversized cards.
• Forecast information now sits on controlled translucent surfaces instead of appearing to float directly over the background.

Wind severity is now a compact accent

• Wind speed no longer depends on fully colored floating text for severity.
• Wind direction and speed now use neutral, readable text inside a dark/frosted pill.
• The existing 0–30 mph wind palette is used as a narrow severity accent instead of coloring the whole wind label.
• Calm winds use icy/light blue accents.
• Increasing winds move through blue, cobalt, indigo, and violet.
• Stronger winds transition into crimson.
• The most severe winds use bright signal red.
• Existing user-selected Arrange text-color overrides still take precedence.

New Hourly Card Style framework

• Added an Hourly Card Style setting with:
  • Compact
  • Showcase
• Compact keeps the normal dense LibreDisplay hourly forecast while using the new polished micro-card treatment.
• Showcase begins the framework for larger, more visual hourly forecast cards.
• Showcase mode is currently limited to eight hourly cards to keep the layout controlled and readable.
• The new framework separates hourly weather data from card presentation so future card designs can become much richer without changing the forecast data model.

New Hourly Weather Card background themes

• Added selectable static scene families for Showcase hourly weather cards:
  • Atmosphere Only
  • Beach / Ocean
  • Forest
  • Mountain
  • Prairie
  • Wetlands
  • Alpine
  • Arctic
  • Jungle
  • Tropical
  • Cityscape
• Scene families are local LibreDisplay visuals and do not depend on remote image services.
• Card scenes can layer real forecast conditions over the selected environment.
• Initial condition states support:
  • Clear
  • Partly Cloudy
  • Cloudy
  • Rain
  • Snow
  • Storm
  • Fog
  • Day
  • Night
• Weather data remains provider-driven; the selected scene theme only changes presentation.

Hourly range expanded

• Added support for an 8-hour Hourly Forecast range.
• The 8-hour range works naturally with the new Showcase card mode.
• Existing hourly ranges remain available.

Remote Arrange saves now target the real display

• Fixed a deeper issue where Arrange changes could save successfully from a remote browser but still fail to appear correctly on the physical LibreDisplay.
• The Pi/server configuration is now authoritative whenever a saved server configuration exists.
• Kiosk browser localStorage is now recovery-only.
• A stale browser-local configuration can no longer override a newer remotely saved layout just because its local timestamp is newer.
• Local browser storage may seed the server only when no server configuration exists at all.
• Server configuration polling now applies changed server snapshots regardless of browser-local timestamp ordering.

Physical display reloads are now acknowledged

• Remote Arrange Save still requires successful persistence and server read-back verification before the editor closes.
• The saved layout is immediately reapplied to the remote editing session after verification.
• The selected physical display is explicitly sent a reload request after a verified Arrange save.
• Targeted reload and refresh commands now include the saved configuration version they are waiting for.
• A targeted reload remains pending until the physical kiosk reports that it actually loaded that saved configuration version.
• Missed live-event delivery can therefore recover through the kiosk heartbeat instead of silently leaving the wall display stale.
• Targeted commands are cleared only after the kiosk confirms the expected configuration was loaded.
• Untargeted manual reload and refresh behavior remains one-shot.
