There seems to be something wrong with the zip file. It's a zero bytes file (or, it may be my internet, I don't know... but even Google drive complains about it)

Same as mine.

sorry, I don't know why but all the files I upload are zero bytes. I've never had this problem before

but with what software do you create watchface.watch?

WatchMaker (for android)

That's definitely strange... Maybe you could try another file server?

try this one:

This one worked. Thanks. I'll analyse it now

Thanks, allelimo. If I'm understanding this correctly, the kw88 interprets the and tags not as center of image, but as center of rotation (with the images still centered on 200x200 default position)? If anyone has a kw88 and wants to help testing this theory, that'd be great. I'll make a sample watchface to be tested. Also, if anyone has a clockskin with off-centered hands that works correctly on KW88, I'd love to get my hands on that
207

I’ve posted a test watchface on the Google+ community. If anyone with a KW88 can test it with the default launcher (not Eric’s launcher), I’d appreciate.

Here is the download link for the test watchface: drive.google.com/open?id=0B2IPqTzLnvSPbDRIMzZMRmpEQTA

mpfm, good luck. I got there after much testing, then my testers lost interest… :
I’m sorry but when I left rasc I deleted all the posts: If I had a kw88 it should have been a 1 hour job,
having to rely on someone else to do the tests and then report what happens was a real failure

I think it's done. The initial theory seems to be correct for the Weekday, Month and Power rotations. Hours, minutes, seconds and Hours_24 works as on Finow. The exception (because KW88 has to have exceptions

) is the Weekday, where Sunday seems to be at 12 o’clock, whereas on Finow, that position is occupied by Monday. Here is a watchfile test that seems to run correctly on KW88. Everything on this test watchface works, but the hour24 was not fully tested. Also, the weekday works, but the slightly rotated hand was not tested (but I don’t see why it shouldn’t work).

Top left complication is the hour, minute, second. Top right complication is the month and the weekday. Bottom left complication is hour in 24h format, and bottom right is battery level/power.

This clockskin was generated directly by WatchFace Designer (the developing version, of course).

Marco, I want to use a .png picture in the Text Layer instead instead of numbers or text. It would be the Seconds display rotating around the outer edge of the watch face instead of a second hand that is centered with the hour and minute hand. Is there a way to do this or if not can you look to including it in a future version.
You are so good at programing I am amazed at your work. Thank you!

mpmf, would be helpfully if you add on the Hand Layer - Auto Rotation - the Day option thanks

You mean Day as in number of the day in the month (1-31)? If so, then I'm sorry but the clock engine on the watches do not support that, so even if I did something like that, your watch wouldn't be able to show it. If you mean the day of week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.), then it's already there. It's the "WEEK" option. On that option, North is Monday, Tuesday is next clockwise, then Wednesday and so on until Sunday (and no I can't change that because that's how the clock engine on watches interpret it).

Thanks a lot for the explanation.

this might be a silly question but ,how can i write tachymeter on the tachymeter

I’m sorry, I’m not understanding what you mean by using “picture in text layer”. You already can use Image Layers to use pictures. You can place them anywhere and you can also define their auto-rotate value. Maybe you want to do something like this:

if so, here’s the .xml file to generate this watchface. You can open it on WatchFace Designer and study it. If this is not what you are asking, please try to rephrase it so that I can gain a better understand of it (english is not my native language).

You just add a Text Layer, write “Tachymeter” on it’s “Text” property and change the “Radius” and “Start Angle” to position it where you want it. Then, if you want to make it a single layer, select the tachymeter layer and the text layer (use CTRL-CLICK to select multiple layers) and select the “Group Layers” button (on the bottom of the layers list).

Marco, Here is a photo of a face I am using on my android phone. The face creator has Andy Capps wife Flo rotating around the outer portion of the face. I have been trying to make something similar using a bird that will be circling around the outer part of the watchface. Here is the link to the Andy Capp face so you can better understand. Pictures are most often better than words to explain.

Hello Seniors
after going through all your hard work
you guys need a standing ovation…
I am a huge fan
I encountered a problem tonight
I just got in by LEMFO LES2
So as usual i connected to WiFi cellular data installed some apps checked for OTA
Then I got to real work
I installed erics standalone app 2.2.7

which lets you create a ClockSkin folder automatically
but I just downloaded Zsolts quantum and lumix u color face and it tells me the face is not supported
Whhen i asked zsolt he guided me here
Thanks in advance for your help

You can use an ImageLayer. Select the image, scale it, rotate it and place it in the direction of 12 o’clock. Then, and because you want it to have the rotation point on the center of the watch, make a Group Layer out of it (just have it selected and press the group button on the bottom of the layer list). Then, set the auto-rotate property of the group to SECOND (or any other you wish to use) and that’s it. Here, I attach an example with the car circling the watch.

Hi,

This is the correct forum, but the wrong thread In this thread we talk about WatchFace Designer in order to design our own watches. This thread (/thread/1529/universal-launcher-new-generation-2) is the one about Eric’s launcher (which I assume is what you are using on your watch, and not the standalone app, which is, I believe, for the phone and not the watch). I don’t know if Eric’s launcher creates the ClockSkin folder automatically, but if it does, then you just have to put the watchface in there (if it is unzipped, place the folder containing it, if it is zipped then make sure it has no folder on the zip).

Marco,

Thank you for the explanation on how to use the ImageLayer as you have done with the car. Now I can have more fun…
