WatchFace AOD customization

Hello!

First of all thanks a lot for the effort all people do here in this community. I just discovered it (I had an amazfit Neo and there isn't much room to customize there :D)

I am owner of a GTR3 and been following the new 'official' watch faces for a while. None of them likes me really much and some even have bugs.

Discovered amazfitwatchfaces even before the Android App was updated to support GTR3. I understand it is fairly new device and custom watchfaces will come in time.

I've read pretty much how to modify stuff but haven't done it yet.

My question is:
I love this watchface from asoo: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/gtr/view/19842 I understand that he cannot modify every watchface he creates with every request for customization so I wanted to understand how can I make the watchface to show only the time in AOD.
I've found in app.json that the image named 147.png is the background for AOD.
Is it enough to change the image for a solid black ? will I need to modify other parts in the json file to 'hide' more stuff? My belief is that if I only modify the image, the rest of the data will still show.

Sorry for the long post and thanks a lot for reading.

BTW: I know I can configure the watch to 'not follow the watch face AOD', but the 'Styles' present in Zepp App are just a few and do not comply to show only the time.

Change only background can not make that you want. if you want to create AOD to show only "TIMES" you must to edit index.js delete element that you do not want to show on AOD

An example of the file , that you have inquired about AOD show only "TIMES".

Excellent asoo, thanks again for the modification and the information on the index.js. I'll surely have a look at it.

Is there any way to use the amazfaces app to upload a zip file to the watch?

All instructions can be made only in the phone? I can't seem to get it working.

Basically I need to name the zip you sent to a watchfaces I have locally and then upload...

Right?
