My watchface draft

Hi, all! Could anyone please help me fix these issues?

  1. Watchface thumbnail not displaying background sequence (it just looks black)
    image

  2. Jack 'o lantern image not displaying on dim screen on watch. It is there in the creator, but not when I sync it to my watch. Where is my little pumpkin??

Thanks!!

Sequence images will not show up in preview. You will have to add a still image from the sequence with an opacity set to $#DWE#<0?100:0$ for it to show in the preview but not while using the watchface.

Yes, as the distinguished gentleman @mrantisocialguy said, but also remember that no animations at all work on AOD.

Only animations that are made by math will be visible in the preview.
Gifs/sequences cannot be seen.

And then what mrantisocialguy said. We call it dummy pic, made just for preview.

Oh? Is this a new feature? None of my older watch faces do this :thinking:

This started showing up around a year or so ago. Only new watchfaces with sequence images have the issue. Older watchfaces made before that time will not have the issue unless updated and re-published.

Dang! That’s disappointing. Thanks for the info!
