Looking for the default middle row font in a standard 735XT 4-field layout

Former Member over 8 years ago

I'm coding for the 735XT, which is (as far as i know) identical to the 230/235/630 in terms of screen size, pixels, etc.

In general, when i select a standard 4-field layout on the watch the middle two fields have a slightly larger font than the top and bottom fields. Using the developer documentation as a guide i can see that the top and bottom fields use the font FONT_NUMBER_MEDIUM.

However I can't seem to find the font for the middle two fields. The next size up, FONT_NUMBER_HOT, is too large, and none of the others (that i can tell) match.

Can anyone help? Or is this slightly-larger font inaccessible from the API.
Many thanks.

I did some testing and if you use a SimpleDataField you definitely get a larger font like you do for the native data fields, but it isn't the same as Gfx.FONT_NUMBER_MEDIUM. The devices.xml (the simulator configuration) confirms the documentation that indicates the field should be using Gfx.FONT_NUMBER_MEDIUM.

It looks like the font used by these fields is not available to you at this time.

It even looks like they just scale up this field to make everything ~10% larger ... perhaps. Interesting.

Darren, did you figure out how to make the middle row fonts larger? I see on your app page that the middle row numbers look slightly larger than the upper and lower row numbers. Any help appreciated!

No, i don't think you can. It seems to be an automatic thing when you select that font with 4 fields. For Snapshot, i just used the next largest font for the middle two (and which is actually a bit larger).

Sorry i can't help!
