Yes,

Modify the files from /opt/victronenergy/gui/qml folder, inside the Ekrano OS.

It's not quite simple and you need to have some understanding of Linux internals and a little bit of programming.

You can access the Linux file system by using the WinSCP utility (from internet) and once you have root access to the Linux filesystem, you can go the the indicated folder and there you can see the Ekrano display layout based on a mix of QML (Qt) and Javascript.

By modifying it you can obtain what you want.

Also you can look on the following repository on the GitHub to have an idea of what is needed.
