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.

PS2. Many people ask how to install watch faces. For starters, I advise you to read this topic. Personally, I prefer to use this program to install the created watch faces on the GTR 3 (for the GTS 3)

[MattP85]

thank you for v02.

Anyone Knows how to have animated Background on this editor?

thank you

[SashaCX75]

MattP85
This editor does not yet support animation.

[MattP85]

ok, thank you

when packing my watch i receive an error message saying :
"the selected images are out of range of the available images"

does anyone know what it means?

Thank you

[MattP85]

and I have another question : how can i put some simple values with font for steps, or pulse..etc, i don't understand why i have to chose an image when i click on "numerical value" ?

thanks again

[SashaCX75]

when packing my watch i receive an error message saying :
"the selected images are out of range of the available images"

This error occurs when an image is not correctly selected for one of the parameters. But such an error can occur when editing, not when packing the dial. If you attach the project it will be clear what causes the error.

[rondolfo]

Thanks Sasha for all your amazing work! I am really enjoying using your app. I wonder do you know if there is any way to programmatically change the hour and minute hands (or any other items) depending on what time it is? For example, IF time < 18:00 use hand1.png; ELSE use hand2.png? I presume the JSON is purely descriptive but is there some JS that can be added to the app.js or index.js files? Perhaps to load different JSON files depending on time?

[rondolfo]

The simple answer is you can't; the watch only works with *representations* of values, not with 'actual' values, so you have to supply images for everything, even stuff you don't normally associate as image-based. The watch face is basically just a machine designed to display a range of images according to some simple rules. If you want to display a zero, make an image of a zero. If you want to display a duck, draw a duck . Perhaps think of it as a collage and the numbers are images of numerals you've cut out of a newspaper.
Hey, now there's an idea for a ransom-note-style watchface...!

[SashaCX75]

rondolfo
There are no JSON files in the watch face. The JSON file is used by the editor to store information internally. The main file in the watch face is index.js. In it, you can check the current time by timer and, depending on the result, change the settings of any element. But this already applies to programming and there will be no such functionality in the editor.

[rondolfo]

@rondolfo
But this [takes us into the realm of] programming and there will be no such functionality in the editor.

Oh sure, I wasn't suggesting you add this as a feature - I expect your life is already complicated enough
But thanks for the explanation about index.js. I now understand much more clearly how all this works. I'm no JS programmer but I am quite tempted to have a tinker...

Spoiler

Hello. When unpacking (packing) the watch face in the editor, the quality of PNG files visually deteriorates. When creating a watch face on the Huami website, the quality of PNG files does not deteriorate. Below is the image after unpacking (packing) by the editor. Sorry for bad english.

[SashaCX75]

shaBANNER
The images on the watch are in an indexed color format (256 colors). So after creating the clock face, the image will still be slightly distorted. Perhaps due to different image conversion algorithms in my editor and on the Huami website, the final result may be slightly different.

[bartekmatuszewski]

Hello SashaCX75. I admire your editor, it's been a great job.

I have a problem with proper spacing when the digits have different widths. Especially "1" is usually thinner than the rest of the characters. There is a bad spacing between characters, but only after uploading to the watch. It looks fine in the editor preview. When we use images instead of fonts, there is a hard of proper kerning anyway, but adding extra space around of thinner characters is a problem. Does the mechanism of displaying watch faces enforce using monospace fonts?

If you want to see an example I have this problem on this watch face: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/gtr/view/21433

[SashaCX75]

bartekmatuszewski
I didn't expect such a display problem. The GTR2 didn't have these issues so I assumed the newer model would be fine and didn't test it. I will check whether this problem exists only for the time display or for all parameters and will take this into account in the next version of the editor.
I can not influence the display on the watch. I can only fix the display in the editor to match the watch.

Hello,

First, thanks a lot for this Editor !

Can you tell me how I can change the language of the software ?

I see a folder named "en" ( english ?) but when i start the editor the language seems to be Russian...

Thanks for the help.

UPD:

I found the answer
Great software !

[1mylord]

Thank you for providing a great program.
In the heart rate category, we found that the indicator and cycle did not move the same way.
Additionally, is the current temperature available on the shortcut?

[SashaCX75]

1mylord
What do you mean by "indicator"? If this is a pointer, then it has several fixed positions depending on the pulse (this depends on the firmware of the watch). The circular progress changes smoothly, therefore, at intermediate heart rate values, the position of the pointer and the circular progress do not coincide.

[ZeR0M]

come sun up & down in the next version?

[Farron]

Please add the AQI in the weather settings

[Superwitschi]

How can i make smooth second?

[SashaCX75]

ZeR0M
Yes. The next version will have sunrise and sunset times.

Farron
As far as I know, AQI does not work for all cities, so I'm unlikely to add this parameter to the editor.

Superwitschi
Smooth movement of the second hand in the editor cannot be done. To do this, you need to write JS code in the watch face itself. There are several dials on the site where there is such functionality. You can see how they do it.

[Superwitschi]

SasahCX75, thanks for reply

[Frv100]

Hello,

I really like the smooth movement oh the second pointer on this watchface.
https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/gtr/view/20957

I think it's a JS code like you said but I can't unzip with your editor.
maybe it's a watchface made with the "official" editor and that's the problem...

Do you know a way to open this ?
Thanks.
