Nope. Iā€™ll take a look, thanks!

It is an amazing change. You can group objects and tilt or rotate them as one. Have a shape or text that is a cutout to the layer below. Do XOR object overlap and much more.

Hey guys - just a quick note that weā€™ve seen this post and will be discussing internally shortly.

Just to be clear - we are not dead and have no intention of dying :slight_smile: There is VERY active work happening to support Googleā€™s Watch Face Format, the Galaxy Watch 7/Ultra, Pixel Watch 3, and more. Weā€™re just not able to share specifics at this point.

We also made some key hires recently and are accelerating a lot of of work on the Facer Creator side which you will start seeing the results of soon (that new Inspector button is just one of them).

Lots of reasons to be excited on the horizon (but point well taken that weā€™re not communicating enough on that front).

I bought a new Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Ultra and then traded it in immediately for a Samsung Galaxy Watch6 when I found out it didnā€™t support Facer!!! I have been happy with Facer and Iā€™m happy i changed to a Watch6 so I can keep using the great faces that Facer offers! I am hoping Facer and Google can find a way to work together for the new platform Google has decided to use in, the future. I think Google just wants to charge everyone for each watchface and Facer doesnā€™t make that happen with a membership and Google doesnā€™t like it, my opinion. Facer, keep up the great work!

Donā€™t get me wrong. I am loving my return to Facer after a forced couple of years away after forced lack of access to a PC. I was referring to the comments about the brain running dry of ideas and in my time away, using KWGT on the phone has be a godsend.
Since back I have revisited several of my old ideas with a fresh perspective and, to be honest, my ideas for Android widgets were running dry.

Hi @Facer_Official
As I said, I was deliberately provocative when I opened the post.
Iā€™m glad you intervened by saying your opinion andā€¦I agree with you. Your greater presence or communication in the Community would be truly appreciated.

Hi @ddcarr2007
Well done!! I had solved it in another way. Not buying the Ultra at all. :joy: :joy:
Coming to Google Watch Faces, every now and then I enjoy going to the Google Play Store and browsing the various WFs that are present.
A sad thing, basic and really ugly WFs. I wouldnā€™t want them on my SW for free,less than ever paying.
The days of Tizen and the Galaxy Store, sadly, are eons away. Back then on the GS there were the most beautiful and professional WF I have ever seen. I bought several of them and I am still using them on my old GW 1. Luckily I had downloaded them, because they are no longer supported.
Google should learn, or Samsung should teach them. :wink:

@ddcarr2007 There are plenty Free Watch Faces on the Google Store . I donā€™t think Google has an exclusive policy . It is up to the Maker if they want to charge for thier Faces Apps or Games .

Hereā€™s hoping the new designer will let you drag to select partial text in element names rather than moving the whole box and dropping out of edit mode, pretty please. That still catches me out on about a 3rd of renames and I tend to rename all of my elements.

Hi my friends,

I know this is not the topic, but since it was mentioned by my friend Russell, to whom I am extremely grateful, here in Brazil, because of the Dollar and Real currencies (Brazil), the value of Facer is high for me, so much so that I save for the reinstallation time.

What would be a free application that had, even partially, good quality?

Hugs,
Christian

Was this screen you made, my friend, using simply the free version?
No other application?

I paid once for Facer Plus to get rid of the Advertising . I have had Pro for a few months as a Treat paid for by my Wife . I Have used Facer Creator Free for 3 years or more . It is My Belief that the Best Faces are made by the Free Makers . I hope Christian there is a Free version in Brazil . If Not you must Contact Little Labs .

It seems like you have been persuaded to but Premium I know you donā€™t use Pro . It is best any way to get the most out of FREE before you get into Pro Stuff .

It really annoys me that people are ignorant to the facts about Samsung.
They (and other watch OEMā€™s) are not going to ship their new models without the latest version of Wear OS, so unfortunately, the changes made to Wear OS 5 by GOOGLE mean that Facer is currently not compatible. Thatā€™s not the fault of Samsung, Garmin, Mobvoi or any other OEM. They have to tow the line. Youā€™d be the first to complain if they didnā€™t have Wear OS 5 on the new models.

The rhetoric from people blaming Samsung is annoying. The blame is squarely with the odd policy decision made by Google. And unless that changes, or Facer finds a workaround, this issue will escalate as new models surface.

Maybe I would not blame them, if I knew the true background. Was it not Samsungā€™s decision to ditch own OS Tizen and adopt the Googleā€™s unfortunate silly OS and rely on even more unfortunate messy play store? Were they forced into it?
