WatchFace Requests for Stanislav Bures

I am not sure how responsive this developer is to requests for changes but he makes excellent watch faces and I would really like to request a few small improvements. Specifically I love how his Line watch face looks. I am also a fan of the SC7 and SC8 watch faces.
1.) My first request would be that the Line watch face could be given the option to display a field with the next sunset/sunrise event time, rather than only allowing the display of either the sunset OR the sunrise. His other watch faces allow this, but for some reason this one does not, forcing me to use two fields if I really want to have the info handy.

2) On SC7 none of the data fields is currently customizable...will this change in the future? I would love to be able to remove the Tempe display as it is practically meaningless, which leads me to my final request/issue:

Garmin has a free widget that displays weather. Why do none of the watch faces on Connect IQ allow free weather display?? And why do none of the Stanislav Bures faces even allow the paid API weather key to be used at the present time? Is this something we can expect to be fixed? I am undecided whether I would pay for an API myself, but it is nice to know it is an option, and if the dedicated field is not being used for weather can we get the ability to use it for something else?

Thanks for reading and it would be truly awesome to hear from Mr. Bures himself :)
  • Have you tried using "Contact Developer" for one of his apps? I'm not sure if he had a link for support on each app, but I know he's really active on ConnectIQ CZ.

    I sent him two e-mails actually using the contact developer link, but have not heard back.
  • Hi. Sorry, but I do not check the email which I have for CIQ apps.. Next sun event I can add to the Line watch face, but probably not now. I have some other priorities. Different weather API is still theme for diskusion. I do not have time take care of the paid version because CIQ is only my hobby. Ideal sollution would be a free weather API from Garmin.
  • Hey! I'm not sure where to post this, so I apologise if this isn't the right spot but I'm trying to figure out what the top status bar on the SC8 watch face is for. 

    I've figured out the bottom one is my step goal, but I've no idea about the top one! It's got 5 bars and the first one is about 3 times the length of the others. At varying points through the day these will show at different levels and I cannot figure it out!

    Great watch face, there's nothing else out there that comes close. 

    All the best,

  • That looks to be the move bar.  The large segment is for an hour with too few steps, and the 4 smaller ones are each additional 15 minutes.  When you see it, take a couple hundred steps without stopping and it should go away.

  • My God, that's exactly it! Thank you!

    Time to get off the couch then!
