Developing Watchface - how to change colors of fonts with watch buttons - changing colors with app setting is working fine

Hi Guys,

I am working on a Watchface.

How can I program a code or what do I have to change/consider so that I can change colors of fonts and other stuff with the real watch buttons.

Other preinstalled watch faces from Garmin have a "customize" option, so that I can change stuff by pressing the select buttons on the real watch.

I wrote the right strings.xml, settings.xml and properties.xml, so that I can change all the colors I want with app settings in the app settings simulator.

And for now I just do not want to go through the official uploading process to the official Garmin platform.

So all the settings are working in the app settings, but on the watch I can only "apply" my watch face. No "customize" option is shown.

Thank you so much for your time and help!!

The Analog sample in the SDK shows a simple example.

Here's a thread about it too, and there may be others

This is only available on watches running CIQ 3.2 or greater.

Here's one of mine that uses on device settings if you want to see it in action:
