Watchface Designer

WatchFace Designer v0.8.1 released

This is a small release but an important one because it fixes a major bug when BorderEffect was used. It was not properly saved, making it impossible to read back.

Here’s the “What’s new”: 

  • Fixed saving/loading problem with BorderEffect
  • Added new Pattern: “Hexagons (Filled)”. This is the inverse of the already existent “Hexagons”. Where the previously existing one draw the outlines, the “Filled” version does not draw the outlines, but fills the inside of the hexagon.

The download link is available on the first page, as usual, and, for your convenience, also here: goo.gl/Ur1Gvp

This bug exist in  all watches, in the clockskin engine except finow x and + series . You need draw the battery images one half imagesize, and will correct display.

Sorry, but my English is not very good. What does exactly mean "one half imagesize"? You mean 200x200 for a 400x400 screen?

You need open your face in Clockskinmaker, then (when the battery image 300px widht) set to 150 px or -150 px instead of 0.

I´ve never used Clockskinmaker… I´ll install it and try to do as you said. Thank you very much!

This must be a bug on the engine. If the fix works, could you send me the WDF xml and the corrected clockskin so I can implement a tweak on WFD?

Thanks.

Marco, this was a discussion earlier. All firmwares except finow x + series watch, have bug on the clockskin engine.
When the battery not correct visible :  need the coordinates in CSM shift to image.width/2 to right.
When was  x=0, and images width=400px, than shift to 200.

Note: when the user use Universal launcher, no need this fix.

That’s great news. I forgot to install universal launcher after installing the last firmware. Now I’ve tried and the watchface looks right!

I’ll have a look at CSM anyway, but for now I know I can use mpmf’s tool and Universal launcher together and have all the Tolkien watchfaces I want…

Thank you all for your help.

Very, Very nice tool. I am excited. The only thing I didn't find is the symbol, when charging the clock ( 99 ). May be I am blind. Keep on the good work.

Yes, WFD doesn't support it... yet.

Thanks for your answer. Then take it as a new requirement for the future.

your app WFD is really funny, do you think it’s possible to do a stop-go and reset button to have a anti clockwise counter. FOR EXAMPLE FROM 15 MN TO ZERO?
best regards

Sorry, your (our) watch's clockskin engine does not support interactive watchfaces.

Version 0.8.1 tested
Here is a small bug : the first move in x or y direction of a layer is not removable with the undo-key. ( seems to be a general problem not only for the x/y directions ) Only the first change you make, then its ok.

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.

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.

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


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).

Is there a way to use dynamic layers this way? For example, having the moon phase rotating like the car in your example…


Thank you very much… Now I can create my own watch face
Hope to share it with everyone soon

Oooh, ok. Anyway, thanks again for your tool and all your help 

hello,
is there a way to make the weather update every 20 minutes or other time?
can i use another weather app or do the watches only use the app that comes with the watch.
i tried to look at the xml but i can’t find anything
