  • I now that the Fonts on Device are fixed... But if I use some specific Code like NR_MEDIUM in the DIYLayout it will use/activate/set the smaller Font on the Device in the Data Screen. And I just want to figure out what Code (NR_?; S_?; S_NR_?) will use/activate/set the "bigger" Font in the Data Screen showed on the Photo... Or am I completely wrong? 

  • Hello

    You lost me a bit with 10 and 14 bits. :-)

    For pace, you might want to disregard high numbers

    For HR, cadence and speed, low

    For running I am interest in pace + HR. Hmm

  • If I understood it correctly, you want to know which font (fontname) in the designer has which look on the watch. If this is true, download the guidance and go to page 37.
    Load the two font-test xml files one after the other as described in the designer. Send the layout to your watch. Then take a screenshot of the watch. Now you can compare how each font on your watch actually looks like. 

  • font_test1.xml - Fonts are way too small
    font_test2.xml - Looks like this (the "75" is NR_MEDIUM)

  • Just to be sure: both pictures are „real“ photos of your watch?

  • Yes, my photos of my Watch (FR245).

  • New version 2.9.4 on clone #6

    http://public.stattegg.info/HM_DIYD_2.9.4.zip

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    2.9.4
    * lower limit for coord changed to -50
    * new values: Steps goal, Steps today, Steps remaining to goal
    * new checkbox for graph: "Limit is minimum value"
    * graph limits can now have 4 different settings ("Max value" changes to "Min value" when "Limit is minimum value" is checked!)
    - "Max Value"=0 and "Limit is minimum value"=false --- Minimum value=0 and Maximum value=auto
    - "Max Value"=X and "Limit is minimum value"=false --- Minimum value=0 and Maximum value=X
    - "Min Value"=0 and "Limit is minimum value"=true --- Minimum value=auto and Maximum value=auto
    - "Min Value"=X and "Limit is minimum value"=true --- Minimum value=X and Maximum value=auto

    Lets see if this is a solution which covers most of the cases. I hope its not too confusing.

  • I've measured and compared the fonts on left picture with fonts on right picture in PS - both real photos of your watch - and I have to say: nearly none of the font left matches a font right. (Only "75" seems to match NR_Medium.)

    I have to admit: I did not expect that and I am on my wits' end.
    Maybe can bring light into that shade...

    Or am I missing something...?  Thinking

  • Hi

    It seems that the fonts the generic datafields use are different fonts than the ones which are available from the SDK. 

    If no font matches, its just not accessible for datafields

  • Understood, anyway thank You Guys for Help!

    Cheers.
