While CumulusUtils started as a collection of modules to be used at will in the creation of a weather website - for the site of the author - after several modules it became clear that generation of a complete website would not be too difficult. It required a HTML framework within which the modules would fit, a menu, a runtime system to handle the realtime data, loading of files, clocks, sun and moon and an adaptation of mcrossley's gauges or a rewrite of a total new set of gauges.
The work set out on a scratch board where the site was drafted and the runtime was coded. The choice was made to split the screen in two in a 5/7 ratio which never changed since. The right pane became the ReportView where the user chooses the report he wishes to see while the realtime data are always visible in the left pane, the [[Dashboard]]. The contents of the [[Dashboard]] can be seen can be switched from what you see in the image right to a [[Dashboard]] with only gauges.
In the example on the image on the right you see Holgers' fully translated site with expanded user menu and even multilingual by his own design to show off the things possible with the CumulusUtils framework.
