I think I can help with some:-
[DataSlot0]
Each slot defines one space in the skin layout where a type of weather info (e.g. the temperature) can be displayed.
If you have two slots, then two different types of data may be displayed in the skin (e.g. temperature and wind speed.)
Which info fills these slots is selected in the skin properties, by switching stuff between the boxes entitled 'parameters' and 'use in skin'. If you select more info parameters than there are slots defined in the skin, then the last ones are ignored.
Slot numbering always starts at 0, then 1,2,3 etc
param = CUSTOM
This seems to mean that the slot can be filled with whatever is selected using the 'use in skin' config box (as described above) Sometimes I see "param = Temperature", which I guess means that the data slot is fixed to displaying the temperature.
SkinText = 0
Use proper everyday fonts, rather than those teeny tiny number graphics you see saved in the skin.
SkinText = 1
Use the teeny tiny numbers, I guess. Haven't tried it.
rect = 0 0 68 13
This is the rectangular area which the text in that slot will be stretched to cover. The first number is the across position of the top left corner, the second is the down position to the top left corner. The third is the across position of the bottom right corner, the fourth is the down position of the bottom right corner.
