WatchFace: Edgy Black

Hi,

My first watch face is now public available in Connect Store: ">Edgy Black">Link to Edgy Black
I got inspired from the really nice face "Perimeter" (https://goo.gl/07TJM6) However, I felt the need for quick access to steps and battery information.

Features of the Edgy Black face:

V1.0.0

Low power mode:
- Clean face; Hour and minute hands, plus digital clock.
- 12/24-hour support.

High power mode:
- Daily distance (metric/statute).
- Daily steps and percentage of daily goal.
- Seconds.
- Today's date.
- Battery level.

Ok, I reverted the versions in the store. V2.0.1 is the same as V1.2.0.
Investigating why the IQ-store version didn't work. My locally created version is all ok.
:confused:

Make sure you delete all your data and settings files for the watchface on your device and see if it makes a difference.
Just thinking it must be something in your local environment that makes the watch face work, but for users who download from the store, some values perhaps are not initialized as is for you?

Just a thought. Good luck!

This is exactly what had happened!
I found my mistake - "null" had been "false" on one location...
Tested ok locally.

Ouch! Strange, strange... Working here.
I'll check if I can get same behavior. And if I can spot any bad coding.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

Perfect! Works 100% fine now! Thanks!

Strong work and many thanks for providing this to the Garmin community! This was my main watch face when it was just a black background... now I have much more colors to choose from, the paradox of choice in itself is amusing me. You have my appreciation and gratitude! Keep up the great work.

@all: Thanks for your cheering! :)

Have been some rapid development of the watch face recently with features being added. Maybe without so much thought of how it look... My next mission with this project really should be to make it look a bit nicer, I think.
The Black scheme, the first one, is the best one according to me. It's hard to get the same anti-aliasing effect to the other colors for example. And I'm not sure the color combinations have been all that successful, yet.

So, better layout of the information and tweaking the color combinations stands on the to-do-list.
Any other things you guys wish?

Awesome

I really like the colors. But it seems sometimes when I get text notifications it changes color. You have to hit down to dismiss. Maybe it is that. Do you have a PayPal I am willing to send you 5 bucks to keep developing. It isn't much but I do think this is the best face.

Color changing every text

I don't mind but have figured out it happens with the text. Your new menu pops up first then it changes. Hope this helps. Sorry if it doesn't.

Thank you! Nice to hear that you like this face :)

I haven't got my watch and phone connected myself, so I'm not aware of how exactly the notifications behaves.
Do you mean that a text message pops up and you dismiss it with press of a button? If so, yes, this will change color of the clock IF you dismiss it quick. But it should stay the same color if you wait >2 sec before pressing the button.

In the code I use the fact that you'll get noticed when the watch face closes (e.g. switch to a widget or into the settings). When this happens I save the configs. During start of the face I check the saved configs and if it was short enough time between off/on then the color profile will change.
