Animation and loading is fine on my gear S3. Could you make the typeset font a little larger on the battery% and other colors. Keep up the good work. Edited:::: opps just found the other colors. Sorry

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I’ve upped the %'s and steps/HR by 1pt. I’d struggle to do much more without having to change layout. I’ve done it across all colours though, let me know if its any better. Cheers
Looks great! Love all your watch faces so far!

That helped a lot. BTW where did you find the forcast Icon, and what is the Tag for it? pls. and thanks.
I love the platform, you’ve done an awesome job. I’ll keep em coming!
I designed these weather icons myself, the tag is #WCCI# though - there’s a good article all about making weather icons work here: [Tutorial] How To Use #WCCI# and #WCCT#
Hi great watchface but after wearing for a couple of days I find the steps and heart rate digits too small, even using reading glasses it is a struggle to see them clearly, any chance you can create another face with bigger digits.
Cheers
Hello, as I’ve had a few people mention size of font I’ve just tweaked the layout slightly which has allowed me to increase the font sizes of the HR, Steps and batteries a bit more (HR and steps has now been increased an additional 2pt’s). Hope this helps a little. Due to the space available this will be the biggest I’ll be able to get it now.
I’ll definitely be doing more designs in the future, though I won’t be repeating any designs with tweaked sizes.
All the best
I think it definitely helps! Nice watchface again!
Thanks A lot. Just what i needed. What i don’t understand, is, for each icon i use the tag of 01 - 50. It will chnge itself automatically? e.i. if i use just use 4 icons, sunny, partly cloudy, rainy, and snow. I would make 4 separate pictures with the 4 different tags? one on top of the other? and it would change between each. Thanks, and BTW your increase of font worked out well. Any chance you could Post a step by step tutorial on how this all works? Or even better a Video?
Any help would be appreciated. thanks. M.
Yeah, you’re pretty much there. I export my weather icons the exact same size and place them all in the exact same position on top of each other then just add the following tags on the opacity attribute (copy from the $ symbol):
50 - Mist: $#WCCI#==50?100:0$
13 - Snow: $#WCCI#==13?100:0$
11 - Thunder: $#WCCI#==11?100:0$
10 - Rain: $#WCCI#==10?100:0$
9 - Shower: $#WCCI#==09?100:0$
4 - Broken cloud: $#WCCI#==04?100:0$
3 - Scattered cloud: $#WCCI#==03?100:0$
2 - Cloud: $#WCCI#==02?100:0$
1 - Fair: $#WCCI#==01?100:0$
Then the face will automatically show the appropriate icon dependant on what weather the app is reading.
If you were to only use 4 different icons you’d still need to cover the additional weather possibilities otherwise no icon would show at all for those. The easiest way to do that though would to just duplicate those icons and change the tag until all options are covered.
Hope that all makes sense.

Hi Tim,I duplicated each icon and tag and nothing would show up like you said. I guess I need to change the duplicated Tags? to a different transparency? Should i change the duplicated icons transparency to “0” I am using a .PNG called Black Outline if this helps. I am a weather inthusiest . I have 3 weather stations on my property. LOL. I am just trying to wrap my head around this coding.
Can you publish your watch face and allow inspect mode and I’ll take a look if you like?
I havn’t published anything… Let me try to. Thanks for your help
Tim, I published it under Markus. I think
I never really wanted to publish anything. Just my designs are very simple, easy to read. Kinda
Ok I can see whats going wrong.
First off you need to make sure all your weather symbol tags end in 100:0$ - some of yours (mainly the duplicates I think) use 100:50$. Change that first.
Secondly on your duplicates you need to change the number at the start of the tag $#WCCI#==01?
For the whole weather to work properly you need to cover the numbers 01, 02, 03, 04, 09, 10, 11, 13 & 50
An example here: Your ‘Snow.png’ layer has this tag: $#WCCI#==13?100:0$ - this is correct
however your ‘Snow 2.png’ layer has this tag: $#WCCI#==13?100:50$ - which is where it’s not working - you need to change the 50 back to 0 and change 13 to one of the other numbers listed above.
As a reminder these are:
50 - Mist: $#WCCI#==50?100:0$
13 - Snow: $#WCCI#==13?100:0$
11 - Thunder: $#WCCI#==11?100:0$
10 - Rain: $#WCCI#==10?100:0$
09 - Shower: $#WCCI#==09?100:0$
04 - Broken cloud: $#WCCI#==04?100:0$
03 - Scattered cloud: $#WCCI#==03?100:0$
02 - Cloud: $#WCCI#==02?100:0$
01 - Fair: $#WCCI#==01?100:0$
You need to make this change to all your copied layers changing the weather number each time to the suitable one.
If you’d rather not have your watch face published you can now duplicate it in the creator which will create a copied draft version and delete the live one.
Hope that all makes sense. If you follow the above you should be able to nail it.
Hi Tim, I guess I didn’t follow your directions. They still don’t show up. My next guess is, Do start with #01 and stack UP to #50? like idid or the other way 50 down to 01. Orrrr do the originals from 01 to 50, and then the dups 50 to 01. I re-posted the face if you want. I know you have spent a lot of time with me. Thank YOU .
Ok, your duplicates are unnecessary now as you’ve added in additional icons so you can delete one of each. The new icons you’ve added are black (the original ones are white) so they’re not showing up against the black background.
SO…
Delete these layers:
mist 2
snow 2
Cloud & Lightning (you’ve got two of these named the same, just delete one)
sunbehindtheclouds2
Rain with Cloud 2
Sun with clouds 2
Cloud 2
Lighter heat 2 (you’ve got two of these named the same, just delete one)
Sort out these images so they’re white icons instead of black:
mist
Cloud & Lightning
Sun Behind Clouds
You don’t need to change any of the code tags
I think I got it Tim. Thanks. I am going to monitor it a couple days because it’s just down right cloudy here and won’t move. if all goes well I will publish and let you see and critique. I am finding some colorful .png’s to use in future designs. Thanks again. M.
