[Visual Studio Code] Watchface - Font updates: simulator vs build

~o√ 5 months ago

Hello,

I moved from Eclipse to Visaul Studio Code several months ago.

I am experiencing a weird behavior in VS code.

I am used to manually create/update fonts (.png) by using paint.net.

I refreshed the files in explorer and cleaned the project.

The simulator shows the updates.

But when I (successfully) build the program (.prg) and copy the file in the watch (garmin\apps), the font of the watchface is not updated; the watch shows the "old" version.

Has anyone already experienced the same issue and has found the fix?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think what's making it really slow on edgeexplore2 is the Bluetooth, not the CPU.

It was a general statement about the tradeoff between saving battery life by using underpowered hardware and user experience. The CIQ store isn't the only thing on Garmin devices that can appear sluggish at times.

For example, the presence of CIQ widgets/glances can introduce lag when you scroll the widget/glance loop. (Especially the old fullscreen widget loop).
