Code for Transparency Sunrise/Sunset

Thank for your comment! :smile:

So I inspected the top link and bizarrely, I used this one line of code for all four elements in question:

$(#DISDAYTIME#)==0?0:100$

It seemed to work on the creator, however it wouldn’t be the first time it worked on the creator and not the device. give it a try and tell me how it goes…

Another option would be to keep the sunrise time at 100% always and just have the sunset popup over the top to cover it.

WAIT NO!!! LIES, ALL LIES!

I had the 100 and 0 in the wrong place for the daytime. This is what it should be for your sunset time:
Transparent during day

$(#DISDAYTIME#)>0?100:0$

@tara.goisisi, Brilliant!!! agree re having the sunrise 100% that was always my intention, your solution works perfectly, thank you so much. Your code is also super useful for another face I’m working on based on the lighting in a submarine that changes colour at dusk so the crew know it’s nighttime, thanks again, keep facing

@tara.goisisi, oh does not work for submarine idea, needs to kick in at (100%) sunset and (0%) at sunrise please can you help with that one - would be good if daytime colour could be 0% at night too or there’s a tiny glow around the letters

@tara.goisisi solved with your: $(#DH#)<(#WSH#)&&(#DH#)>(#WRH#)?0:100$
thanks

Hello @hayden @tara.goisisi and @Mellin - I am late here, however I prepared a small tutorial to this topic in the past hour(s). Even if you already solved this particular problem, there are some additional information (e.g. rotation), you could be maybe interesting in :wink: anyway thanks for inspiration :+1:

Hi @Tomas, @Mellin, @tara.goisisi: looking forward to seeing the tutorial, thank you. I’ve used @tara.goisisi solution on the following two faces:


Wishing all community members a Happy Festive Season!

Awesome! love them. Glad to be of assistance! Have a good Christmas all!

Love the watch design. Say another one. Will have to look at more of your stuff.

I’m breaking my brain thinking about the formula for this. Does the creator give you a ā€œsunriseā€ for the next day ever? For instance, after sunrise for current day is done (or even sunset for that matter) will there be a new sunrise value? When does this number reset?

I am working on a countdown timer to sunrise and sunset.
There is a math challenge when the countdown is less than 1 hr.
So I want to hide the number the hour number when the sunset or sunrise is less than 1 hour away.
Would you share your fade in and fade out effect equation, as I think this might key me into a solution.
Thanks!

Have these codes stopped working ?

I have 2 images in the same place. One for Daylight one for Night. I used the $(#DISDAYTIME#),$ codes for each pic, Yet in the editor it doesn’t do anything.

Or am I missing something :slight_smile:

Hi @borgcymru, These codes are still working try these in the Opacity Field:

Day:

$#DISDAYTIME#=true?100:0$

Night:

$#DISDAYTIME#=false?100:0$

Enjoy!
