VARS and curved text!

Funny!
For me, it was the other way around. I tried WFS, managed to create a watch face, but it took me way too long for my liking. I like applications that I can work with immediately without having to spend a lot time learning how to use it. OK, I admit I did not spend enough time, but somehow I did find my way around with it.
But as you say, as a software developer you probably look at it from a complete different angle.
For those interested:

I guess they are figuring what features to make premium again, that WFS offers for free.
I also think the 10 image styles and tap alternatives is just WFS internal limitation, not actual WFF limit.
Interesting is also, that the color themes are actual themes, like sets of 3 colors, not just single color.

Even if they made it to 12 that would be good .

Sent a ticket off for this too along with my previous tickets regarding complications. Has anyone else noticed the âmini rectangleâ icon and text seem to align âtopâ oriented so they donât even line up horizontally?
***Update to this:
I actually just deleted the complications and inserted 2 news ones and they seem to line up horizontally just fine. So for anyone experiencing the same problem, I would avoid ânudgingâ the complications too much into position, especially vertically in a horizontally aligned complication and vice-versa. As in WFS, nudging complications can sometimes knock the text and icons out of alignment from each other, but this can be fixed by ânumerically nudgingâ each element ( Text, Icon ) on the X,Y axis. Unfortunately, that isnât available in facer yet and Text and Icon are not independent from each other to do this.

Almost an issue with alot of things, even fonts. I havenât used the complications in creator. I assumed they didnât work correctly. Well we know what happens when we assume⌠
I didnât even know you could customize them, thanks for that bit of info. Sorry I canât help you more. Maybe the other guys can.

I have only used Customisable Complications Hidden . There are only 3 Sizes for the stuff that shows . Small Medium and Large . Well as far as I remember .
I havenât really messed with the complications in WFS only to use them as hidden. The boxes and trying to figure how to get them to fit in a design. Maybe this will be something I learn next.

If anyone cares, in Watch Face Studio I have discovered a way to show last weather refresh, and have a single tap take you right to it in the weather app.
Iâll lay it out if someone is interested.

Create a small box complication with text only (size 1pt) because if you make the opacity 0 it wonât work. Make the slot box as big as you want because that will be the tap area. Make the complication fixed and in the drop down menu, you can select sunrise/sunset which actually opens up your weather app and from there you can update your weather.

Yeah . Good one . I use the circular complications with opacity Zero but send them to the Top Layers . I switch off all the Settings that elevate the Complication to SDK 36 . Unless I want to use them in which case the comp will not be Hidden . I have used Range value for AMOLED Phone Battery App ( circular progress ) but the Setting has to be sent to the top of the setting list to show properly .
Thatâs the trick!!! I discovered it by accident.
Hereâs the formula for minutes since last weather refresh.
(numberFormat(â##â,(([UTC_TS]-[WTHR_LAST_UPDATED])/60000)))

Yes, that is one of the methods I use. You can either set the text size to 1pt or move the text outside of the Slot bounds, as anything outside the bounds will not be displayed.
Additionally, if you want to display the location:
This method allows you to show the userâs current location. Instead of using a fixed complication, use the Large Box Complication with a Long Text format on a single line. This requires the user to manually set the complication to Weather. Once selected, the location will be displayed, and tapping it will automatically open the Weather app.
