I don’t think some elements are working correctly in the beta version. I noticed that it has lost the GIF capability.

@Louis_Peek is right. It’s just a beta, some parts are not working correctly. And some of the new Features doesn’t work on every face engines.

how to add gif images in the version 14.2 it says not compatible with stock version pls tell which version has this
When I make clock skins with gifs they work fine with stock launcher other then they run twice as fast. My running Mario clock skin is a jogging man on universal launcher but on stock launcher he is the sprinting man. 
Very interesting!! I am using the stock launcher on my Genesis, and the watch Designer last beta version. I never testet gif animations, because I thought that this is possible only for universal launcher.
You said : it is possible (they run twice as fast). Is there no other problem with the stocklauncher using gifs? If no than I should give it a try…

WHat rent these stock launchers and universal launchers and which version of the designer are u using please tell
I’m using that same beta version, when you click on gif, change image source from JPG to GIF. If the animation is short you will probably have to open the animation.xml after it’s created and duplicate some of the frames to slow it down
I was thinking backwards but they definitely don’t run at the same speed.

@6eats … be careful, to use animated gif images with stock launcher on Android 7.1 you need to know how to edit the clockskin.xml file correctly or you might stop the watch from working at all. You will find a tutorial here in this thread on how to edit the xml file so that animated gifs will work (…and even then you still need to be careful).

One thing I make sure is i always have access to file manager, if something glitches and you can’t get the home screen to load.
If you can either ask Google to open files manager Or use a floating widget to open a file manager, you can then access the clock skin folder and rename the file having a issue. This will allow it to reload with no clock skin active and you can then just hold down on the black screen and select a new face.
I end up having to do this with UL sometimes because I’ve built some faces with too large of a 3d image and it can cause it to freeze and UN able to choose UL as home page until the clock skin is either removed or renamed. Often just renaming it will make it work for another 8 hours before it locks up again. But this is only happening on my extremely large 3d clock skins

DOnt worry I already have made one clock skin and put it on my Android 10
I have made a clockskin so I don’t think I had to come across an error thanks for the info I really want to know what UL (UNBREALLA LIGHT?) IS and what does it do Andy how u use it.in the 14.2 beta version I click gif then on top where the clock is being made it says that may not be compatible for this version or something like that and when I tried adding a gif it didn’t not move and remained as a picture …ty btw
that it “may be incompatible” means that it is uncertain whether it is compatible or not, so it might work even though you get that message, and if you use Universal Launcher it should definitely work
Here’s the first step to learning about UL and stock launchers: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=what+are+launchers+on+android%3F

I have already posted above how you can fix this ? You do not need UL . Unless you want to use UL
Ok i made it for my friend and it works very nice thank you
Marco, I just wanted to stop by here and THANK YOU for making this software for us to use. It’s definitely a brilliant piece of work and I appreciate it. I just started to learn how to use it and hopefully I can make something soon worth while to share with the community!
