The Alternative Interface
Introduction
The Alternative Interface (or AI for short) is currently provided as part of the CumulusMX package simply as an additional way of viewing and controlling your weather station. It offers all the same facilities as the default Interface but packaged into a user editable framework.
Although all the same functionality is provided, the menu structure is different, separating viewing tasks from configuration and editing functions. To reflect this the dropdown panels on the menu are in different shades of the chosen theme colour1). The menu also has a separator between these two categories.
Screenshots
These are provided to give you a feel for the various colour themes that are available and a general impression of the layouts used. The images are part of a 'lightbox' system - you can click to see a larger image and scroll through the others using the left and right navigation provided.

This depends on how tiny currently access the default interface.
