It has been developed to run in tandem with the existing Interface, has the same pages (plus one to manage the themes), and each page does the same as the Interface.  This is a deliberate choice so that you don't need to do anything differently.  The menu is however organised a little differently; I have grouped together pages that just show you your weather data and those that enable you to configure or edit it.  My reasoning is simply to reduce the width of the menu for smaller screens.

One other alteration is on the main dashboard.  I have moved the alarms panel to just underneath the sun and moon times.  When using the Interface I like to be made aware of any alarms without scrolling; especially ones about the system.  This page is already being modified to improve its layout - I am keen to also get the weather record set LEDs displayed.
