True 12hr (3/4 digit display)

Does anyone know the json code to create true 12hr format, i.e. 3/4, removing the leading zero when present? Thanks

The BIP firmware makes creating true 12-hour watchfaces harder than it should be.

You have to make a set of hours digit images that are 2 digits wide, with transparent portions that get overwritten.
Then you have to change the .json file to use the new images for the hours tens and units digits.

Here's a link to my explanation of the technique that I use, originally created by watchface developer SIR: viewtopic.php?t=569

Thanks Eric for the explanation, much appreciated. Do you have an example of your code from one of your watch faces that I could copy & paste to modify an existing watch face?

If you PM me an email address, I can send you the .bin file for a watchface that I modified.
