Graphics editor for working with dials Amazfit
The editor supports watch faces from GTR 47, GTR 42, GTS, T-Rex, Verge Lite.
Note: the path to the program should not contain spaces, it is advisable to unpack it to the root of the disk.
Not all dials can be unpacked.
You can reduce the size of the bin file only by reducing the size of the images (height * width) or by reducing the number of images.
The drawing order of elements cannot be changed. The only exception is if you move the second hand from the center, it will be drawn under the hour and minute hands.
If the .bin file is not created, then you need to look for errors in the .log file. Most often this happens when images have the wrong format.
If the bin file is not created, and the log file contains the entry “bad transparency mask”, this means that the format of one or more images is incorrect (most often it occurs if you save the image in Photoshop without transparent pixels). You can fix it as follows:
- in Photoshop - add at least one transparent pixel
- in GIMP exported to PNG 16 bit RGBA
- in XnView - Image -> 32 bits

If you want to supplement the missing translation, write to the PM.
Beta version of the editor with support for Amazfit X
AmazFit WatchFace editor 2 with support for GTR 2, GTS 2, T-Rex Pro
My editor doesn't work with GTR2 (GTS2) watch faces and I have no plans to add support for these models anytime soon. I don't know any other programs that can work with these dials. I have no information if anyone is working in this direction.
Because I bought a GTR 2e, the program will no longer be updated.

Silly Question,

Yes you can.. but not without images XD add your images and assign a element. Start with the background:-p

Yes you can.
Prepare all the necessary pictures.
On the "Choose" tab, press the image-selection button and load all the pictures into the program.
On the "Editing" tab, edit the settings and save the json file.

There's a space on your Username Session did you change where the program is ?
No Space means at least an underscore to simulate space "_"
Put the program on c:\ [ If you want you can create a folder if you don't want to have it directly on c:\ like Gtr_Tool Gtrtool GTR_dev so the destination will be C:\GTR c:\Gtr_Tool c:\ GTR_dev ]
Once it's unpack or unpack compressed bin file, the Bin is replicated on Watchface folder, and an additional folder is created with all the file inside.... For example if you bin file : GTR_test. bin , a folder named GTR_Test will be created with all the files inside.
Look inside that new folder created, if it's empty, it's a compressed bin.
If you choose to Unpack compressed bin and the new folder created is still empty [ just a log file inside ] There's something wrong on how you set up your Work space.
On the 2nd picture I see another Hard drive or partition "Programmi e An" why don't you put it there ?

If none of what is written here helps, try a different watch face. Some dials are not unpacked, but there are very few.

Hello,
Newbie here. I tried to find info but I failed, so please help. I downloaded the app (which is fantastic), managed to unpack and edit the necessary files the packed/compressed back. I can see there are 2 new bin files, one with ***packed.bin and one with ***packed_zip.bin ending. Which one should I upload to the watch now? I'm little bit confused, please help me out with this. Thank you in advance, you're doing great job!

Weather dials should normally be unpacked in the program starting with version 6. If any dial is not unpacked, it means that you are doing something wrong. If one specific dial is not unpacked, send it I will look.
[mention]vape[/mention]
Any.
*** packed_zip.bin is compressed and installs a little faster.

Hello, Thank you in advance, you're doing great job!
Let's say a 1Mo File Bin [Normal Bin File ] will install slower than a 200Ko File_zip.Bin [ Compressed Bin File ]
Size difference, Bluetooth data rate transfer.... but finally same face. Just transfer you bin file and after transfer the zip.bin.
You will see a Huge gain of time. [ BT 5.0 // Note 10 // Android 10 ] with the 200Ko Face VS 1Mo Face.

Thanks for your quick answer,
I don't know what went wrong but the package_zip.bin file ended up with firmware error when I tried to upload it via Mi Bandage andoid app, The other bin file could be uploaded but doesn't appear on the watch, there are only those 2 preinstalled watchfaces.

GTR, GTS - animation works
T-REX - no information
Verge Lite - supposedly animation support appeared on the latest beta version of the firmware, there is no animation on stable firmware.
I have the opportunity to test only on GTR and the editor is primarily designed for this watch. On the other watch, some functions may not work.

Hello Sasha CX75,
I have a very interesting problem with my GTR47 and a watch face.
The 1. photo shows a WF created with your Watch Face Editor (V6) and as it should be. The WF is packed and compressed, and synchronized with the watch - everything is okay up to here. The WF is loaded and it is correctly visible. The preview image is also okay (photo 3)
Info: the file not compressed 1.5 MB, compressed 480 kB.
But .... later the WF is not displayed correctly - as shown on my watch in photo 2.
But that doesn't always stay that way. I will be shown later (15 min - 30 min or more) the WF is correct and then later again is not correctly displayed.
I only have the problem with this WF. I've changed different images, rearranged them, but always the same problem.
What could be the mistake? Do you have any idea?
Thanks for this great WatchFace Editor and thank for you reply.
... and that was it - thanks Sasha for your help.
Rainer
