Temperature tag, {wtd} is exported with ’ in the text property
Day of the week comes in numbers and not in string format, for example 05 and should be Thursday
I got an error, attached is the log file… and the original xml that generates the error
hope this helps to improove an already GREAT app
G.
Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the bugs:
Ok, I removed it. Next version will be without the ’
I’ve just checked it. It works correctly. If you see the code, you are right: it seems to show the number with {ddw0}. However, it uses a bitmap font that has the names for 0, 1, 2, etc…
You ran out of memory. That happens because you are using a 32-bit java version. Please install the 64-bit version, and you’ll have a lot more memory. If you really need to have the 32-bit version, then start WFD on the command-line with “java -Xmx1.5g -jar WatchFaceDesigner.jar” (without the quotes). It will give you more memory, but not as near as using the 64-bit version…
Thanks!!!!
1) great!!
2) I did not understand this, sorry to bother you so much...
3) Thanks!!! installesd java 64 bits and now it works
I try to add textlayer with days numbered 1-31 with this new property. Numbers scrolls in window counterclock rotation and seems to work good, but…
Leftmost start point for drawing numers is shifted right on every day changes. Auto rotation multiplier set to 1.00
For me old sliders were also better
But it could be good to have up/down buttons next to the sliders and value (just to add one or two pixels more accurate).
And firs remark after use of new version - for 1-31 date rotation is it possible to add “justyfication” property? If I use 1 instead of 01 this value is justyfied to the right - what to do if I want to have them centered?
And at the end - very, very good job Marco! I will install today Eric’s launcher and I will test this new options for my old watch faces.
Bring old sliders back, please. That new one ar maybe more pretty but more useless
One false mouse move and I lost my 200.00 position. Now I can’t set it again with slider. New one is less accurate. I’m forced to operate edit box to set 200.00
hehe… I knew this change wouldn’t be consensual. I understand what you are saying and, generally, I also prefer the old sliders. However, these new ones have at least two advantages that can’t be ignored:
1. They are more precise (way more precise), even though you don’t think so. I’ll give you an example. On the old version, start the app, and then try to change the first RectangleLayer “Center X” property to 200.5 using the slider. Next, do the same on the new slider… This is the result:

Please make sure you didn’t forget any day (or have one on excess). I’ve just tried it out and it works perfectly, without any left or right shift… Since yours is shifting to the left, I’d bet you forgot one number…
Hi Marco, can you make a tutorial about how to create/export a watch face in an animated GIF. would be very kind of you. Congrats once again for your work.

About the sliders, I understand. But check my previous answer about them. If you have a solution for their advantages using regular sliders, I'm all hears
The up/down buttons may help. I'll check it out to see if they really improve something.
About the justification… I suppose you are talking on the “Whole Text” rotation styles, right? On the other rotation styles they are already centered. I’ll try to find a way to make justification possible (only on these kinds of rotation styles. On the others, it doesn’t make sense to me…)
Good luck with Eric’s launcher. As I said, I don’t think you’ll regret it

You must have right. I checked it again and all works good. Thanks for help.
Ad. sliders - you propably right. I'll have to learn to live with it
I’m open to ideas on how to have unlimited sliders, or how to have good resolution on them when the limits are large. As I said before, I would also prefer the previous sliders (they are better for quick less precise changes, after all), but they are limiting on other aspects…

Hi everybody,
I agree with Marco, changes are usually hard to take, but watching all the examples and cases of use, I think this will bring more possibilities of design. I’m sure that when we get use to work with them, we won’t remember the old ones, hehe.

What do you mean? How to create a watchface that has an animated gif, or create an animated gif showing a watchface?
In portuguese: Não entendi. Como criar um relógio que contém um gif animado ou como criar um gif animado a mostrar um relógio?

I’ve got an idea (and implemented it to test it). I will add another property on the Perspective Text Layer for specifying the position regarding the radius. The options will be: INSIDE (the text will be inside the radius), CENTERED and OUTSIDE. With these options, it will be almost equivalent to RIGHT JUSTIFICATION, CENTER, LEFT JUSTIFICATION, respectively, on “Whole Text” rotation styles. I’ll add one more, DEFAULT, for compatibility with previous versions (because the default was outside on all rotation styles except “Whole Text”, where the default was inside). This property will be available to all rotation styles, except None (which, in my mind, make no sense - until I see the light, of course ).
