Change the colour of #DE# depending on what day it is?

I use this string to present day and date: #DE# #Dd# #DMMM#

Is it possible to change the colour of #DE# depending on what day in the week it is?

I would like it to be blue om Saturdays and red on Sundays on my Gear 3 with Tizen.

you will need to duplicate your date element two times and use conditions in opacity field to turn on and off on correct days. I will help if needed

Hi jlcash61,
Please help out. Any colour on Monday to Friday, and blue on Saturdays and red on Sundays.

Hello, if you would like only the #DE# part of the string to change color, you would have to split to separate layer. Anyway you would have to make 3 copies of your string - one for each color.
Then control their visibility for example with formula in opacity like
for sunday: $#DOW#==0?100:0$
for saturday: $#DOW#==6?100:0$
for the rest: $(#DOW#+5)%6<5?100:0$

I was able to Inspect your test above . Good working Example .

Check the way you share the link. It should let you mark it as inspectable by clicking the slider before copying the link:

i likely would have ((#DOW#==0)*100) ie if I was doing and have grown very fond of the modu(%) function but was afraid i would confuse them

I just checked on an alternative way to hide the week days when showing Saturday and Sunday.
$#DOW#=0||#DOW#=6?0:100$

Difficult crossing Zero . That is by far and away the best and most descriptive way of doing it . Nice Little Tutorial Developing . If && ( AND ) don’t work try || ( OR ) .
