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.

Installer

Version 15.0
Mirror

Time circles added.
Added world time (time, city, time zone, time offset).
Added text display around the circle.
Added the ability to create watch faces in developer mode (for experienced users, allows logs to be displayed in watch faces).

[SashaCX75]

There are two installation options to choose from. The old option with an archive. And the new option with an installer. However, the archive option does not work for some users due to paranoid antivirus restrictions on downloaded applications in the latest versions of Windows.

Please let us know which variant is more convenient for you.

@seythegamer
The watch cannot work with gif files, only with png files. There is animation in the watch faces, it is done with a set of png files.

alright got it,

but is it maybe possible to create animation using png files but for weather icons?

so now weather icons go from 1 to i dont remeber, lets say 31
and i would like to create an animation for each of the weather icons

is it possible to achieve or no?

[SashaCX75]

Not in the editor.
But in principle, it can be done. Although I only remember two such attempts.

[rush2112]

Thanks

@SashaCX75

Just a quick question regarding the watch's balance: for the next version, could you have the AM and PM displayed in font ?
Thanks

[SashaCX75]

@rush2112

What's wrong with that?

[rush2112]

Okay , Thanks

[rush2112]

@rush2112

What's wrong with that?

The attachment you're displaying features the "Hours" font along with Hours plus AM and PM , However, I'm referring to the style shown in the picture. Would you be able to apply that font to the "AM" and "PM" sections?

Thanks

[SashaCX75]

No. This is a standard widget that only works with images.

Hi,

you write:

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.

Excuse me - but i do not understand that all...

i made me first and only watchface with the zepp watchface maker.
Is there a easy way to get that in the Watch face editor for Amazfit watch on ZeppOS?
Or have i start from the beginning?

Greetings

When you export a file from Zepp's watchface make,
you'll receive a .zab file. Uncompress the file with WinRAR.
You'll find a .zpk file, and then uncompress it again.
You'll find a Device.zip file.
You can "Unpack" Device.zip by use editor, and to continue working on your project without having to rebuild it.

unpack device.zip with program editor

In most cases, the above instructions will work. It all depends on what widgets you use. If you used text with tags, it will not be recognized when unpacking.

I use Watch face editor for Amazfit watch on ZeppOS on PC to create watch face, but when I clicking on the watch face, it shows white space around (like the picture), it should be black.

Please guide me to fix it.

thank you.

You should attach the file of the watch face you're using and found issue.
Reporting an issue the way you did is difficult to verify.
The issue could be caused by a number of factors, from generated images to custom scripts, and many more.

The white frame issue is likely caused by the white background of your Bg1.
It is unlikely to be caused by editor.
I've already edited the image to make it transparent.

But what I don't understand is that you enabled the Switchable Background, but didn't take any action (I assume you're waiting to proceed).

@SashaCX75 the compass gets buggy when tapping on the shortcut made in the editor, and also the compass info (pointer rotation and degrees text) gets stuck for sometime and the only workaround to get it working again is to turn off/on screen couple times... is this normal? any workaround?

The watchface I'm working on is attatched, ty in advance

Since you didn't mention which device you're experiencing this issue on, I'm guessing from you att. file you're experiencing it on the Bip6, as I'm also experiencing this issue on the Bip6.
And as far as I know, this issue doesn't occur on any other devices I own.
So, I don't think the issue is with the editor, but rather with the Bip6 itself.

It seems that if you enable the compass widget to display on the watchface, you'll encounter issues using the compass shortcut, as you mentioned. :I don't know the exact cause, so I can only guess that the problem is with the FW.

There are two ways to fix this:
1. Don't use the compass widget on the watchface; so you will can access it via the shortcut normally.

2. If you use the compass widget on the watchface and then use the shortcut (button) hmApp.startApp({url: 'CompassScreen', native: true }); to access the Compass screen, you must stop the compass before enabling CompassScreen as follows:

Add to the compass button

Code: Select all

if (compass) compass.stop();  // add this
hmApp.startApp({url: 'CompassScreen', native: true });

Note : This fix sometimes causes a "screen on duration" issue.
The "screen on duration" may not match your default value. It may increase to 16-30 seconds, but is only happend once time after using the shortcut . Which I don't know why either.

However, if you want to calibrate by accessing the compassScreen home screen via the shortcut, from my testing, once you access the compassScreen home screen and calibrate it until it works, when you return to the watchface, you'll notice that sometimes the calibration on the compassScreen home screen doesn't affect the compass on the watchface. The compass on the watchface still doesn't work, or sometimes it freezes, requiring you to switch between screens for the compass on the watchface to work.
I believe this is due to the Bip6 firmware, not the editor.

The best way to calibrate the compass on the watchface is to shake the watch or flick your hands that you wearing the watch. The compass on the watchface will then work.

These are just solutions from my testing and my understanding. So maybe someone else can answer your question better.. I hope this answer is helpful.

@asoo

Hi,
Could you please explain how to create or add a shortcut in the tools editor of Editor V15?

Thanks
