What are the new requirements to join the partner program? or same as before? 5k downloads within 30 days is kind of steep for a newbie.

@Jorg . Apply . There is a link in creator in the left hand menue . You will have to tell them apart from the Obvious ( how many faces published ) how many Followers you have and links to the other Platforms you Publish on if that is the case . If you do not get selected you can re-apply in 30 days .
Cool, thanks, to re-publish the WFS. I took down it is.

Lets say I get a smartwatch, that was released with wearOS version 4 or less (for example Galaxy Watch 4 to 6). It still supports all Facerās features, even after update to wearOS version 5, which watches released with this or newest version 6 do not.
Now to test the new beta creator, or even imported WFF watch faces, we are advised to update to wear OS version 6. Since such updates are not reversible, I would like to clarify one thing before jumping on the testing hype:
What happens with the support of the watch for those pre wearOS v5 features? Will it work as before, or will only VFF compatible i.e. dumbed-down faces work on it since such update? If the leater should be the case, it is not so great and I would rather keep my watch unchanged.
BTW, in the article about Rosetta Stone is one claim I consider not fully true:
āAt the heart of this release is Rosetta Stone , Facerās powerful cross-platform design abstraction layer that lets you design your watch face once ā and publish it across multiple platforms with a single workflow.ā
Since faces for WFF have to be created separately and no longer support earlier Facers features same as faces for apple watches, it is not single workflow anymore.

Yes . We can only speculate . I think I read somewhere that a GW5 updated to One UI8 would be supported for an Additional 4 years . I presume if you dont update it support ends on that Day . I am going to get the Tizen out and put my Private Face on it . Let my GW5 update itself when it Comes . My Private Face has moonphase stuff along with SR SS . Not to mention a tap to data back with Compass and 4 hidden comps . Most of all a Watch Battery Gauge with Peters Prefect Three Colour Morph on it . One of my Favourite Gadgets .
NB was the Rosetta Stone not a Document Carved into Stone . In two completely Different Languages . One Hieroglyphics which had never been Translated before and was actually a Total Mystery .

That is what I am talking about. I made me few faces with pro features, which I would like to use even later, maybe on some little newer watch with undesirable wearOS. (My GearS3 Frontier still runs well on original Tizen, but it is 8yo meanwhile and may fail one day).

Wow that is a long time to look after a watch . Yes I have some pro templates stashed for private faces in the future . Oh well .The march of Time moves on . May be if we get into Mechanical clocks and watches they will not go out of Date so Quick .

none of my watches will sync since the upgrade
seriously thinking about ending my subscription
Hi everyone,
I noticed that the app shows the energy impact of published Faces, for example:
But Iād like to understand how itās calculated.
In fact, regarding the ones I created, some that I think should show a greater impact (because they contain formulas, a white background, and lots of information) actually turn out to be less energy-intensive than others I created specifically with energy impact in mind.
Thanks.
PS: did I make a mistake in writing here?

This feature is new isnāt it? Wouldnāt it be even more useful to display this information already during the creation process in Creator/WFF?
This would allow designers to optimize their watch faces for battery efficiency before publishing, rather than finding out afterward.

Only shows the Lit Pixel Ratio in AOD / Ambient Mode .

Ahhh, that explains my doubts, so this only considers AOD mode.
That makes sense to me.
But perhaps it would be more convenient to understand how much it consumes in normal mode. For example, I donāt use AODā¦
And what jivestaroso suggests would be helpfulā¦
Thanks

You can - it is one of the options on the right side in creator (under the rocket ship etc). It looks like three vertical bars that increase in size from left to right.
