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.

@smith725 I don't think that's a problem. The language settings are changed very rarely.
You can use resume_call() to update the text each time the screen is switched on.

I have never seen such problems with time display. I have seen mention that the time widget updates once a minute if there are no seconds. If there are seconds on the watch face, it updates every second. You can try adding seconds to the watch face (so that they are not visible if you don't need them).

[smith725]

I have never seen such problems with time display.

I built a very simple test face, with digits designed to clearly show what I see. Maybe it's just something in my environment or watch?

Just uploaded https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/gtr/view/36479 - should be viewable soon.

@SashaCX75

Thank you for your hard work for the watch face editor just a small question, inside where is the weather display can you make a place for all GTR3 and GTR3 Pro ( A check mark for the fix of the weather icons ) You no the issue not showing night icons . just asking if it's possible:)

Thank You

[SashaCX75]

@smith725 If I understand you correctly, I don't see this problem myself. And I don't remember anyone complaining about it.

Spoiler

Try disabling the function to make the minutes follow the hours. Also try to change the order of displaying hours and minutes in the editor (move their elements in the table above or below).

[SashaCX75]

@rush2112 Not displaying night weather icons is a problem with older watch models. This has been fixed on newer models. In my editor the weather is displayed in the standard widget and I don't plan to change it.

Some authors fix this bug themselves. But for this they do not use the standard widget of the clock, and write code that depending on the weather and time data chooses what picture to show.

[rush2112]

Okay, great thanks for your reply

But your newer model you mean the GTR4 and up....... you are not talking about the GTR3 and GTR3 Pro ?

[smith725]

Perhaps to clarify my description - the problem is transient. I tried both disabling the "follow" option and moving the minutes well out to the side. This pair of images is taken a few second apart - the first is a few seconds before 12:41, the second is a few seconds after 12:41. The watch entered AOD mode during 12:40, so the first image is the 'initial' AOD screen.

Spoiler

I also tried moving hours above minutes in the 'digital time' dialog in the editor. It produced the same results.

@SashaCX75

Small question, what is the reason on the ( GTR3 Pro ) with you watch face editor for the Steps we can use the angle and for the stress ,...calories ,hearts,, ?

Thank You

[SashaCX75]

But your newer model you mean the GTR4 and up....... you are not talking about the GTR3 and GTR3 Pro ?

On the GTR4 and newer models, this is fixed at the firmware level. On older firmware it can only be fixed by writing additional code in the watch face.

Small question, what is the reason on the ( GTR3 Pro ) with you watch face editor for the Steps we can use the angle and for the stress ,...calories ,hearts,, ?

Displaying data at an angle in the editor is implemented in 2 different ways.
The first way is simply to add an additional parameter to the widget. This is the easiest way, but it works only on new models.
The second way is to calculate the position of each digit using a code. It is much more complicated, but works on all models.

[SashaCX75]

@smith725 As I wrote earlier, I do not observe such a problem. So I think this problem is only ZeppOS1 or only on your watch model.

As a possible solution, you can make all numbers except "0" without transparent background. For the digit "0" use a fully transparent picture of the same size. Make the background under the left digit black, and draw "0" on the background under the right digit. Then it will be possible to enable display of leading zeros and left alignment. The result should be as you want it to be.

[smith725]

Then it will be possible to enable display of leading zeros and left alignment. The result should be as you want it to be.

I clearly need to work on my explanations. The problem is entirely with "no leading zero". Turning leading zero on leads to no problems. And - I went hunting and discovered it is very hard to find GTR 3 Pro faces that use "no leading zero" in the digital number display. This causes me to wonder if many people have previously seen this problem, but just decided to work around it.

As for the language button - as per your suggestion, I just moved to setting the language at startup. I also finished the "16 segment letters" for all the reasonably supported languages that the API can return, which did take some time. It still bothers me that I could not make the switching work, but it does not really affect the results at https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/gtr/view/36301

Thanks again for this discussion - it has been very useful and I am learning lots through both experience and discussion.

[FabioZumbi12]

Is there a tutorial on how to use some advanced features of editor, like the "Editable Elements"?

[TRK88PL]

Hey, can we get option to use Weather_Current for angle on circle on GTR3 or this is not possible to do? @SashaCX75 i mean right now we have only option to have text on circle, for min and max temperature, why can't We have option to use current temperature also on circle / angle text?

[SashaCX75]

@TRK88PL The data for such inscriptions is taken from the sensor and we cannot get the value of the current temperature.

There is an option to display this data in a circle in the system font. But it will probably not work on GTR3. And I will not add this feature to the editor.

[domenicopardo]

What is Zeppos? Can I install what I download from Dropbox on Windows? Can I make dials for GTR3 PRO like with AmazFit_Watchface_Editor_2 I do for GTR2???
Thanks, I want to buy a GTR3 PRO but I want to know if I will be able to make dials afterwards.
Thank you again

Hello, good afternoon!
I am a user from the other side of the ocean (Argentina) I am getting started in the development wfaces for my Amazfit Band 7 smartband.
I am using the Watchface editor (ZeppOS) and I need to know if it is possible to upload the face to my watch, to test and see adjustments before uploading it to your site.
Maybe there is a way to do it from Windows or from an Android tool to do it.

Thank you very much and greetings
I don't want to mix politics but I just want you to know that I stand in solidarity with all of you.

[SashaCX75]

@domenicopardo The process of creating watch faces for the GTR3 Pro is similar to creating watch faces for the GTR2.

You cannot install watch faces directly from windows. But there are some android and apple apps to install watch faces.

[SashaCX75]

@Bigotesfow I don't have an Amazfit Band 7 and I don't know what software they use to install watch faces on this model. But I know that there are such programmes for android. I think even AmazFaces app can do it.

[SashaCX75]

Version 10.0
Mirror
Added support of fonts for data display (after installing such watch faces it is better to restart the watch).
Added possibility to display altitude (in barometer).
Completely redesigned the moon widget.
The arrow pointer for sun and moon should now not be displayed after sunset.
All images are now copied to the watch face, even if they are in folders.

[Lattenknaller]

I have a question about the use of custom fonts:
What format must the font be in and where is the file then stored so that the program recognizes it?

[SashaCX75]

@Lattenknaller The font must be with ttf extension in TrueType format. After adding them to the project, they will be copied to the required folder by themselves. Not all models support the use of font files.

[Lattenknaller]

Thanks, so there's the mistake, ZeppOS1 can't do it (GTR3 Pro) and ZeppOS2 can (GTR4). Just tested, too bad

[mrmegi]

@Lattenknaller The font must be with ttf extension in TrueType format. After adding them to the project, they will be copied to the required folder by themselves. Not all models support the use of font files.

Regarding the fonts, what does "Data display" in "Added support of fonts for data display" mean? Can ttf files be used instead of images for e.g the digital clock?
And for adding ttf file, lets say I have a project called "newFace" in the Watch_face folder, I added my ttf file to the "newFace" folder. How can I expect to use the font that I added? I can not see it while creating watchfaces. (Trying it out on a GTS 4)

And thank you for this app, love creating watchfaces with it!

[SashaCX75]

Fonts should be added using the corresponding button in the editor. Then they will be available for selection.
In the current version, fonts can only be used for activities. Support for time and date fonts will be available in the next version.

[BigBlind68]

Is there someone who can make, or maybe already made, a tutorialvideo how to build a simple watch face from scratch with the software from @SashaCX75?

I'm curious because the interface could be more user friendly imho, especially for beginners.
