Could someone point me in the right direction of where one would learn to look to see how to do the days of the week in the following format?
Thank you.

The best thing to do on Facer is to have 8 layers the lowest one being the greyed out Text . Each of the upper layers has the correct text image over layed , in the correct position and switched on and off with a conditional statement in the Opacity Field of each layer . I will check it on my PC #DOW# gives a number for the day of the week , 0 being sunday .
So it would go something like
$#DOW#=0?100:0$
If day of the week number is whatever show the image or don’t .
There are many other ways but that guarantees the visual aspect of your graphic . Some are using Text / Effect / Stroke and Glow . That effect stopped working on watches other than Tizen but seems to be working again . That method would still require a Conditional statement but that would best be shown as a test . Far too complex for me to describe .

Thank you for the helpful input.The fact that it previously stopped working might be why I haven’t been able to find anything on it. Unless I just overlooked something during my search.

If you are talking about Stroke and Glow I am making a test and is nothing like your graphic . The most important thing I can suggest it to make a test . There are many on here that will happily test a wWIP for you an let you see how it looks on their watches . It is a precept here that you do most of the legwork . More satisfying that way .

I think there might be Templates in the Resources somewhere for Horizontal Days Of The Week 
Might still have some on my USB if I go on my laptop anytime soon…

Thanks Gizmo! I’ll keep my search up. I’ve found ways of using days of the week using hands or day wheels. I’m just struggling to find any info on doing it in this format.

Set the blue oval beneath the day layer, and for its X position, use something like: (95 + (#DOW# * 21.5)).

Thanks, 21.5 was a guess, but that is the horizontal distance (in pixels) between each day. 95 is the starting X position.

@tom_p199 . Here is a test with your images. I presume you know how to Inspect a draft. Sorry the Layer labels are not explicit. I made this on my Tablet. I can not rename them there.

@russellcresser Thanks for all your help. Yes I understand how to apply the Tags. Granted I usually have no idea what they are or sometimes whether they go into Opacity or whatever the very top line is named. Like when you add watch batter percentage and it show #BLP# or whatever it is ( i don’t recall off hand), And @jivestaroso thank you as well for your helpful input. I will remember it like ( insert X position + (#DOW# * insert number of pixels)) Now I am going to assume the . at the end of your Tag is simply just a . to end the sentence and not part of the Tag itself.
Any way thank you and I appreciate you guys.
Now if only the powers that be could better organize where people put there helpful guides. Usually I run into them by chance. I can be looking in resources for the perfect bezel ring for something I’m working on, and suddenly there is a guide on how to use needle gauges for step count or whatever else.

@Rator @petruuccios . Thank you both. Also Trying to look stuff up is usually my first choice. You guys are number 2. And looking up keywords or not doesn’t negate the fact that it would be cool to have a section solely devoted to tutorials. Then you could go to that section and check out what cool stuff there is to learn. You could not have any specific topic in mind and go there and see a tutorial on how instead of tracking steps you track calories or whatever. Or how to make a face solely using fonts or something. And you’d be like " cool I did not know this stuff, nice that this section is here". But alas that section is not here hence a lot of stuff I learn from here that I don’t specifically at that time want to know, I learned by chance.
