AmazFit WatchFace editor for Windows by SashaCX75

[SashaCX75]

Graphics editor for working with dials Amazfit
The editor supports watch faces from GTR 47, GTR 42, GTS, T-Rex, Verge Lite.

Screenshot

Note: the path to the program should not contain spaces, it is advisable to unpack it to the root of the disk.
Not all dials can be unpacked.
You can reduce the size of the bin file only by reducing the size of the images (height * width) or by reducing the number of images.

The drawing order of elements cannot be changed. The only exception is if you move the second hand from the center, it will be drawn under the hour and minute hands.

If the .bin file is not created, then you need to look for errors in the .log file. Most often this happens when images have the wrong format.

If the bin file is not created, and the log file contains the entry “bad transparency mask”, this means that the format of one or more images is incorrect (most often it occurs if you save the image in Photoshop without transparent pixels). You can fix it as follows:
- in Photoshop - add at least one transparent pixel
- in GIMP exported to PNG 16 bit RGBA
- in XnView - Image -> 32 bits

Beta version of the editor with support for Amazfit X

AmazFit WatchFace editor 2 with support for GTR 2, GTS 2, T-Rex Pro

My editor doesn't work with GTR2 (GTS2) watch faces and I have no plans to add support for these models anytime soon. I don't know any other programs that can work with these dials. I have no information if anyone is working in this direction.

Because I bought a GTR 2e, the program will no longer be updated.

If a dialog box pops up with an error, then it is better to attach a screenshot of this window with an error so that it is clear what is at stake. You can try resetting the program.
If the bin file is simply not created, but there is a log file, then you need to look in it.

hello, can someone tell me, what to do to put the hands of the clock, when the clock is on one side of the dial, I do not get it, when I keep to see the result, the needles walk around the dial

The main message that indicates an error

ValueError: bad transparency mask

If I understand correctly, you need to move the clock hands from the center of the dial.
For this there is a parameter "Axis offset"

[Lordalpine]

[mention]rubiales41[/mention]



Put time at Midnight / 00:00
-> Easiest position to adjust [ For other hand like battery // heartrate it work the same ]

Select White Grid or black grid [ It's a nice help to make perfect Hand turn ]


Center of the Hand perfectly centered


Center Minute Hand [ X horizontal // Y Vertical ]
Axis Offset is where you want to put the hand [ Hour and Minute Here : X 133 // Y 219.... so my hour and minute hand are placed on the right ]


Some advice : Look how much pixel is your center of hand...
Here It's a 3 pixel created from scratch[ So It's easy^^ ]


-> Center of background is 227 [ 454*454 background right ? ]
-> Put a pixel horizontal size with paired number [ 20 // 22 // 24 // 26 etc... ] and put the hand one pixel on the left on your PNG
or
-> Put a pixel horizontal size with unpaired number [ 21 // 23 // 25 // 27 etc ] and center the hand on your PNG

Just writing this because, when you want to make a face already existing for other device... the hand are not scaled, and when you resize them...
Center Hand pixel and all the pixel are splitted on two [ Then It's Harder to edit for colour variant for exemple ]
4/6/8/10 pixel Horizontal hand size will be 1 pixel on the left or 1 pixel on the right.... [ It will make you mad^^ ]

Or the Hand are not really really 100% centered when they turn...

The advice is to get Pixel align [ and not splitted in two on PNG ] and perfect align on face
[ and sometimes you loose time because you forget this ]

great! work here, but how create a animation? i have 4 frames

The editor does not currently support animation.
Animation can be added manually by editing the json file. What the animation section should look like here.

hello, how is it done, or where can I find the time points and minutes to make analog clocks ?, thank you very much

- Picking up some element : viewtopic.php?f=41&t=980
- Searching for faces on google by Key Word : Faces, Watch faces, Clean Dial
- Cutting out elements on site that sell Watch or repair watch or Aliexpress [ for Bezel, No I'm not kinding ]
- Unpack faces for android wear, GTR, [ All system ]
- Do the Hour Ring // Tachys // Minute ring [ everything you need ] on Watchmaker app for android on your smatphone or Android Emulator, screenshot, retrieve and edit in Photoshop [ Again I'm serious ]
- The Best solution :

Spoiler

do it yourself on Photoshop, Gimp, Illustrator, Autocad [ The best solution IMO ]

[albertowd]

A quick tip for Photoshop users when saving PNG-24 preset:

When saving a solid PNG (with no transparent pixel, ex.: a full background picture), the exporter does not includes the alpha channel on the final file, leaving it with a true 24-bit PNG file.

The tool will use the same mask for all image files, so if the background image is solid but all other images are transparent, it will save as a 32-bit PNG file and it will crash the bin packer.

Solution: when using transparent and solid images, save solid ones with the normal "Save As ..." option so it will not be optimized into a different bit mask.

我说一句，哥们们，我作为一个中国人，看英文都困难，你们让我去一个俄罗斯网站下载东西，还要求注册一个账户……我下下来一个一看，俄文，你们说郁闷不？谁能给我这个中国朋友提供一个中文版本的下载地址，而且能直接下载的，谢谢大家了……
Let me say, man, as a Chinese, it's difficult to read English. You asked me to go to a Russian website to download things and register an account I'll take a look next time. Russian, do you think it's depressing? Who can provide a Chinese version download address for my Chinese friend, and can download it directly? Thank you

[SashaCX75]

感谢兄弟，这个我需要翻墙……中国对翻墙软件管理很严，有咱们论坛直接下载的就好了……
Thank you brother, I need to climb over the wall China is very strict in the management of wall climbing software. It's good to have those downloaded directly from our forum

我已经翻墙下下来了，但是在表盘制作好以后不知道如何保存成手表能用的文件，谁能告诉我保存文件的步骤呢？麻烦了
I've come down the wall, but I don't know how to save the watch file after the dial is made. Who can tell me the steps to save the file? Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi people, im a bit struggeling with a thing.. So i made this watch face to copy it like the original one:

https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/gtr/view/1160

But my problem is that the hand for step progress is going underneat the digital time. Is there any way to make sure this yellow hand is going over the digital times and status icons instead of under them? Is there any way to difine a dominant order? If there is we could do way more great things, just by changing orders..

Hope someone could reply to me!

(I use the sasha tool together with python)

[Pucci14]

Is there any Manual (in any language) wich I could then translate with Google?
Thanks

Hand for step progress is going under digital time and over status icons.
The order cannot be changed.
The best way to check is to install on the watch and see.

Help is in the program (a question mark beside to the button to close the window or a link on the "About" tab). I have not seen a more detailed help anywhere. Maybe someone will do the best help.

Thank you for adding Verge Lite to the app!

Verge Lite support in beta may not work properly.
After the release of the stable version, I recommend updating to it.

0. Unpack the existing dial or create a new one.


1. Edit the dial.


2. Save the dial.


3. We pack the dial.

Thanks SashaCX75!

兄弟，谢谢了，我已经自己研究出怎样保存了，还是感谢你的帮助，谢谢。
Brother, thank you. I have worked out how to save it. Thank you for your help. Thank you.

[Pucci14]

First of all I apologize if this question was alredy posted but I have just managed to create a file *packed_zip.bin.
This is a modification of an existing one.
I would also be ready to publish it but, to be sure of the result, I need to see it on my whatch,

Now the question: how can I load into my Watch?

Sorry again for a possible double posst.
It is enough the link to the correct post.

Thanks
