resources.xml dedicated to a certain family - is this possible?

Hi,

the Fenix 5 series has more resources than older watches and can implement more features in a datafield. Is it possible that the resources.xml can be made exclusive for the Fenix 5 series? Currently, the file resides in the common resources folder. If I copy it e. g. in the resources-round-240x240 folder and remove some settings the "App settings editor" shows still shows the superset of the file which resides in the resources folder although my current configuration is a Fenix 5 :-(

Also note that 240x240 would work for the f5, f5x, and 935, but wouldn't include the f5s or chronos, and if you also did 218x218, that would pull in devices like the f3, so you'd want to do device specific over rides for the f5s and chronos.

OK, thanks for that info. How does this overwriting works? May I have some common properties in the common resources directory (in the xml file) and dedicated properties in the specialized directories?

Also note that 240x240 would work for the f5, f5x, and 935, but wouldn't include the f5s or chronos, and if you also did 218x218, that would pull in devices like the f3, so you'd want to do device specific over rides for the f5s and chronos.

Yes, I know that I will only support f5, f5x and 935. The f5s has unfortunately not the same fonts as e. g. an f3 and so I would have to rework the entire layout. It's too time consuming for me as a person who do this just for fun. Probably I will support the f5s with customized fonts which matches those of the F3. This would be less time consuming.
