A fairly simple watchskin that I might develop further...

Orbiting the Earth… add an addition rotate_second layer, as the base layer… what ever is on that layer can be seen through the other layers… but an incomplete solution…

@Andrew_Somers Proposal for the layout… Moon static but shows phases… still room for an orbiting “Easter egg”… Nasa style font (?) and I have another idea that I’ll mock up…

My other ideas seems unfeasible… :frowning:

Haha, did I misspell tweak, anyway, I’m done with Miley.
Yeah the Moon’s not quite a pendulum, but similar, It does go off the screen a bit, so I think it looks OK. I like the idea of a smaller back Moon.
There’s no way I can think of to have multiple things rotating unless they are spatially separated (I didn’t actually use the word space :slight_smile: ), I just got away with it by putting the Moon in a different plane.
I like the NASA layout, it’ll make a workable watch.

I feel that less is more… it’s an interesting design with a couple tricks so it might be about done…

Extras (if needed) could be an orbiting satelite/space station (overkill?)… or how about a moving/rotating star field… if it rotated at (say) 90deg to the Earth then the masking wouldn’t be as tricky - there might only be a modest cheat to conceal…

And the bottom left quadrant could contain battery etc…

Any thoughts?

we could blink the stars, but I agree less is more, don’t want it too busy

@Andrew_Somers Here’s something approaching a completed skin:

  • rotating Earth
  • Moon (static) with 8 phases
  • digital hours, minutes and seconds
  • day, date and month

It’ll fit on a round and a round-with-corners watch face…

Where next… streaking comets?

I didn’t tidy up the graphics after moving the Earth towards the bottom right of the frame… I used a simple mask to fill the hole in the space time continuum…

It’s now on my watch and it looks gooood… we can congratulate ourselves and thank you… :slight_smile:

It does look pretty cool. We didn’t put in clouds, but I think it looks nice and neat without then. The Earth2 skin from @Piotr_Blazewicz has a comet which looks good, shouldn’t be hard to do.
Congratulations to us and thank you.

I thought about clouds but it started to look cluttered… if the clouds/weather is too subtle it just disappears… but it’s an option :slight_smile:
Are you ready to release it to the people of planet Earth?

Yes, I think we should set it free.
I’ve been thinking of other ideas, maybe do some variations later
