HMs DIY #1-6

These are the settings I came up with for a Vivoactive 4. It's a first pass, but I think they're close enough.

FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_BOLD_NUMBER_FONT_5;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 76; -12; 0; 13; -13
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_BOLD_NUMBER_FONT_6;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 90; -16; 0; 18; -18
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_REGULAR_NUMBER_FONT_1;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 39; -7; 1; 8; -5
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_REGULAR_NUMBER_FONT_2;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 56; -10; 0; 10; -10
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_ROBOTO_MEDIUM_BOLD;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 31; -4; 0; 5; 4
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_ROBOTO_MEDIUM_PLUS_BOLD;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 35; -5; 0; 6; 1
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_ROBOTO_SMALL_BOLD;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 25; -3; 0; 4; 4
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_ROBOTO_TINY_BOLD;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 10; 0; 0; 0; 0
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_ROBOTO_TINY_PLUS_BOLD;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 25; -3; 0; 4; 2
FNT_VIVOACTIVE4_ROBOTO_XTINY_BOLD;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 20; -2; 0; 3; 4

Now I'm just having an issue to get anything to display on my actual device. I add the data screen, set it to one field, set that field to DIY. And in the Android app I copied test string into the default field. However, only a blank white screen appears so I need to look into that a bit more.

Edit: Got something to display on my device now, but I think it's evidence that my font settings aren't that good since everything is off from what's displayed in the editor. So, back to the drawing board.

Hi

Seems to me that you have a Vivoactive 4S, looks more like it.

Just out of curiosity: I‘m wondering if one can see which kind of memory-sized-device a special device is.

Can one see here in „specs“?

Hi

Thanks!

Nope, it's definitely a plain old 4. The back says 4 and the Garmin app confirms it.

Could you post your xml please.

Just to make sure I'm not messing it up with edits, I started fresh. I loaded christian888_FR935_hiking.xml from the examples folder into the program, changed the Device to vivoactive 4, clicked Scale to device, then copied that code to the clipload and loaded it into the Connect IQ app.

Here is the comparison of the app and what I see on my watch: https://imgur.com/a/1Snodvo

It's a little different from my first example, but still off.

This is the xml from the example I used:

I did some work to help you...

Find attached a ZIP-file with:

- fonts(McInner).txt     
                  an Vivoactive 4 edited font.txt file. Copy it to the folder of the Designer tool and rename it fonts.txt.
                  If you have edited your font.txt already then make a backup of your file.
- VA4_font_test1.xml    a font test layout
- VA4_hiking.xml           your testlayout - adapted for Vivoactive 4

Load the layout-file(s) to the designer and transmit the layout to your watch.

Then upload pictures of the watch!

Since I have no Vivoactive 4 watch, I cannot check if the fonts.txt file is ok.
