Echo Show 5 vs. 8 - Weather Alerts & Current Weather Placement

[SilverballSlayer]

Hello-
I have an Echo Show 5 (gen1) and Show 8 (gen1). I'm running TECH5 on both of them. Both use the clock style of "Dashboard".

On my 5, everything looks great. We've had frost/freeze warnings, and it popped it up on the screen (per the setting). Super cool.

On my 8, it also popped up the weather alert. However, it's overlaying the temp/weather a bit (see image).

On my 5, the current weather is shown under the clock. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to change that on my 8. That'd solve the issue, and really is how I'd rather it display. Is it a setting somewhere? I see "Weather Position", but it doesn't seem to change anything?

Thank you for the clear pictures. Weather Position only moves the weather on the other clock styles; Dashboard lays out its own weather, so the setting does nothing there. The alert covering the temperature on the Show 8 is a bug: on a wider screen the temperature goes to the top-right corner, which is where the alert badge goes too. It's fixed for the next release. While an alert is up, the current weather moves under the date, the way your Show 5 shows it.

Awesome, thank you!!!!

Thank you! The fix is out in v1.6.30.

Installed, it's perfect. Thank you!!

I'm planning to buy one more Show 5. That way I can have one in each of my boy's bedrooms. And then tie their lights to the alarms, and do other generally annoying things to get them out of bed on school days. So much fun! =)
