Hello and a question

[FJP84]

Hi also a new member here,

I have my Stratos a couple of days now and loving it. Now looking for some great watchfaces and maybe try to make some of my own, inspired by all the cool stuff I find here.

I do have a question about some custom and some stock watch faces and their behavior.

I notice that some watch faces changes from lo-fi to (semi)hi-fi mode on arm raise and others doesn't. These just stay in lo-fi mode until you double tap to wake or push one of the buttons on the side.

I just can't pinpoint the difference between these watch faces. Is someone there who can explain this?

Thanks!

You need to create a folder 26w for the "semi active" mode. There it is better to put the arrows for 8c, if they are correctly made.
Watchface.xml must be a string
<WatchFaceItem config = "true" type = "support26w" />

then, when the wrist moves, the watch will wake up for 2-3 seconds, the dial and widgets will switch to high quality mode.

Thanks, I will first try to modify some downloaded watchfaces to implement this behavior.

To be clear: it has nothing to do with the fact that a watchface is customizable?

Thanks again, I managed to modify a downloaded watch face which already had 26w enabled for the hands to also switch background to high quality mode. Next step is to adjust the Hour/Minute hands 8c to something I prefer more.

Looking into the watch face structure there are some things I don't understand yet. Can you explain the following?

color_map files:
In /timehand/8c/seconds/ there are *.png.color_map files. What kind of files are these, and why are there 16 files numbered 0-15? How can I open these file to analyse these and modify if needed?

General question:
Is it possible to have high quality images during standby for background and hands? So in other words ignoring/removing the 8c folder and files, or will this cause this a corrupt watch face?

Deleting a folder will simply prevent the arrows from being displayed.
The .map files are standard arrow files. You can delete them.
