Hi, I have been using wfpiconsole for a while now but know just about nothing about Python or Kivy. I have managed to get a battery voltage display that changes colours to reflect the mode associated with battery in the Solar window, but that was mainly a brute force and ignorance approach.
I went to get the BigTemperature display working, but have had no luck.
In the user folder I have renamed:
customPanels.kv.tmpl to customPanels.kv and
customPanels.py.tmpl to customPanels.py.
I then restarted the programme with no problem. I then went to settings to assign BigTemperature a panel, and sure enough it is listed so I assigned it to primary panel 6.
The program crashed with a number of error messages, the last one being:
"File “”, Line 1, in
NameError: name ‘BigTemperature Panel’ is not defined
If I try to restart the programme I get the error messages again. The only way I have been able to restart is to open wfpiconsole.ini and remove BigTemperature from:
[PrimaryPanels]
.
.
…
Panelsix = BigTemperature
Have I missed a step somewhere (quite likely)

I’ve just tested this my end, and unfortunately I can’t recreate the problem. I have renamed `customPanels.kv.tmpl` to `customPanels.kv` and `customPanels.py.tmpl` to `customPanels.py`, and added the BigTemperature panel to panel 6, and it works with no issues. Can you share the complete contents of the `wfpiconsole.log` file (or everything that is printed to the terminal) rather than just the last line?

Hi Peter, I have just installed the programme on a spare raspberry Pi 3+, and apart from being noticeably slower when making changes to the settings, it works as advertised, including BigTemperature, so I guess there is an issue with the install on the RPi4. I’ll reinstall it tomorrow and let you know.
