When unpacking the watch faces, it is advisable to immediately select the correct watch model, otherwise the colors may be distorted.

It is desirable to create a new project in a separate folder. Image names do not have to consist only of numbers, you can add short prefixes (for example, date_01, time_01).
Watch faces created in the editor and on Huami's website should unpack normally. Watch faces from Zepp and those created based on them will not be unpacked.
In a set of images for displaying one parameter (for example, images for displaying the day of the week), all images should preferably be the same size. If the size of the images is different, then the first image in the set should be the largest.

All new features in this and next release will be tested on the GTR4 and may not work on other models.

Hi, what is the difference why one step progress circle renders with continous color vs. the other one renders in a segmented way? I can't spot the diff in the resp. watchface json nor in the editor

Spoiler

From the picture you attached, my guess is as follows.
- circle renders with continous color, it's made by use function "Circle progress"
- circle renders in a segmented way it's made by use function " Images "
or put a transparent image (icon) only on the part you want to display, overlaid on the "circle progress".

Spoiler

"circle progress" will show values more precisely than using "images"

I have a question:
In Sasha's editor, the animation for GTR4 is properly displayed in the preview and saved as such, but when the file is transferred to the watch, the animation does not work
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's an error in the editor. If anyone knows, please help and explain to me
If necessary, I can also attach a zip file so that someone can see what I'm doing wrong

[Darkstalix]

I dont know why but when i add image files (png) after the repack it i get lots of artifacts
Im trying to change some timer "hands" with some of my own but the quality get destroyed
Is there a limitation?

[1mylord]

mirda69...
In my experience, in the case of gtr4,
The animation image number should start with ***_0.png
The image must be in the assets folder, not the animation folder.
Additionally, you must change the animation path in the index file to anim_path: "".

Thank you very much.

As far as i know in GTR4 ( Zepp OS verison 2 )
Some animation commands have been removed to increase some the OS's capabilities, causing GTR4 to not be able to display rotation animations. But as i know, you can also use Animation frame by frame to make animation.

or put a transparent image (icon) only on the part you want to display, overlaid on the "circle progress".

Ah yes, thank you, this is what's going on: both watchfaces use "circle progress", but the segmented one has an alpha-layered overlay image defined that "overpaints" and thus makes "segments" on the "circle progress" painting, nice. Only strange thing is that this overlay is defined as a symbol on a rather unrelated setting ("digital time -> Hours")
(btw, this is the watchface I inspected for the segments circle: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/gtr/view/25006)

Change/show/hide elements in real time on click:

Code: Select all

hmUI.createWidget(hmUI.widget.BUTTON, {
            x: 128,  // x coordinate of the button
            y: 308,  // y coordinate of the button
            text: '',
            w: 24,  // button width
            h: 24,  // button height
            normal_src: 'btn1.png',  // button image
            press_src: 'btn1.png',  // button image
            show_level: hmUI.show_level.ONLY_NORMAL,
            click_func: () => {

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's an error in the editor.

Rotation animation not working on GTR4 (Zepp OS verison 2).

Darkstalix For clocks, the images are recoded into a color map format. If the dial has a smooth change in transparency, this adds a lot of artifacts. Artifacts can also appear on smooth gradients, but they are usually not noticeable.

The image must be in the assets folder, not the animation folder.
Additionally, you must change the animation path in the index file to anim_path: "".

Absolutely wrong statement.

SasHAcx75...
Thank you very much.

I didn't understand this message.

[mirda69]

Thanks guys...and I thought it was up to Zepp OS

[Darkstalix]

SashaCX75
Hey thanks a lot for answering!
Is there any way bypass this? the images i use and get recoded were from a GTS2 WF i had made with your previous tool and this limitation wasnt there. I mean i used the exact same files i had in gts2 wf for a GTS4 skin and they get lots of artifacts
We happen to know what color map format they get recoded so i can do it myself and not to go back and forth reinstalling the WF etc?

[SashaCX75]

Darkstalix You can try transcoding images in the official editor. They know better the features of the image format on their watches and perhaps they have a better encoding algorithm.

It seems that for xiaomi mi band 7 there is a utility that recodes images without quality loss. But I have not tested it and do not know if such images work on our watches. The format of the dials is the same there so it can work.

[bfermar]

Is there a way to implement the continuous moving second hand with the editor?
Regards

[1mylord]

Thank you always.
Can you tell me the address of the battery shortcut?

It was the only feature missing for me in the GTR series and now, thanks to SashaCX75, it is now available.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks

I don't do translation. If there are people who want to make a translation or improve an existing one, then write in personal messages.

[ZiMiZ]

Sasha! i am editing a previous created watchface, and this watch come with some shortcuts, but i wanted to add others shortcuts, like "Alexa" or "Music player"
How i can do?

Spoiler

[Lattenknaller]

ZiMiZ

You have to include the extra shortcuts manually in index.js
for example: "Musicplayer"

Code: Select all

normal_img_click_1 = hmUI.createWidget(hmUI.widget.IMG, {
              x: 000,			 // Coordinates X
              y: 000,			 // Coordinates Y
              w: 000,			 // Width
              h: 000,			 // Height
              src: 0000.png',       // transparent image
              show_level: hmUI.show_level.ONLY_NORMAL,
            });
	    normal_img_click_1.addEventListener(hmUI.event.CLICK_DOWN, function (info) {
		hmApp.startApp({ appid: 1, url: 'PhoneMusicCtrlScreen', native: true })
            });

[civicdriver80]

I have a question about the Bluetooth issue. Is that also present in older watchface editor for example for the gtr2
