i found one that ive been meaning to do https://github.com/AbnormalDistributions/e_paper_weather_display
I saw you used Pillow to handle the same font with different hardcoded fontsizes, while it works pretty well for a one-off setup, it‘s not hard modifying the fontsize even on-the-go, e.g. as shown in one of my codes using an E-Paper display: https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal/blob/30a6f6499e34e8cf10d8b25d84b577f3c0443bdc/inkycal/custom/functions.py#L85 or if you’re interested in the full code: https://github.com/aceisace/Inkycal
I think font selection is key to making things clear & look good, so I started looking for fonts on Google Fonts. The display is also an extension of another project we've worked on called The Baking Forecast on Twitter so the icon selection flowed from the decisions we had to make there to meet the twitter character limit. Using a small display like this imposes similar space restrictions, so it naturally becomes an exercise in making things succinct!
they indicate when renewable generation is above or below 33% of the total. You can read a (slightly) more detailed summary about each screen on the github page
