Face Request

[KahneFan]

I am looking for a very simple face, but am having a hard time finding this. I would like a black background with a medium size white digital clock (12 hr format), small date (mm/dd/yyyy) - day of week would be nice, but not necessary; watch battery %, BT connected on/off icon... and that's it. Phone battery % might be nice, but again, not needed. And, when it goes to ambient, I would love for all of that to stay, but if nothing else, at least the day at time.

I have no problem making this, but I can't seem to figure out what I need to use to make my own faces. Back in my Blackberry days, I had the BB Creator and enjoyed making BB Themes, so I know I would dig making watch faces, I'm just not sure how.

Yes, Mr. Time Maker is one. If you want to do more, then the Gear Watch Designer is the way to go.

I'll check those out, thanks!

GWD seems perfect... except I cannot get my watch to connect for anything. I may try on a different network to see if it's my router or something.

I love the idea of GWD, and would like to try it, but nobody that I know of has been able to get it to work on Mac, which would be my choice. I do have a Windows box here, but it's Windows 10, which I understand also causes problems. Guess I'll have to wait for if/when it makes it out of beta.

Have a look at App Launcher by Alex Rokhlov. Large selection of what you can put on the face, very personal-izable. I love mine! Have 7 apps on the face, very easy to get to what I want.

That could be my problem? Both machines I've tried this on are both Windows 10 machines.

I don't have time right now to look it up, but I read on either the xda or Samsung developers forum that both Win 8 and 10 were causing problems. This was from a poster who wrote a tutorial about installing and using the software. If I find a link later I'll post it.

I did see that thread through searching, but I am getting stuck at the 40% load mark when trying to load it to my watch - this is on 2 different Win10 machines. I'll try to see if that thread may have answered my issues. Thanks!

Finally figured out how to basically sideload the tpk . Kind of a PITA without direct load from the program, but I got it going. Thanks!

 

[KahneFan]

This is what I came up with. Always on actually has the dividing lines as well, but the screen capture didn't show them for some reason. The "ON" face really just adds seconds and battery life.

Cool, glad you got it figured out. I don't have enough techno brains to dig that deep into it, so I hope they get it to the point that mere mortals can use it. I know Photoshop, so that part doesn't scare me, but when you get into command lines and reading code and stuff, I'm out.

No command lines needed. If you know Photoshop, this would be very easy. I don't mind walking you through the steps should you decide you want to.

Edit: I take that back. One command line, but it's really very simple.

Thanks for the offer! I'll let you know if I find the time to play around with it.
