  • Is it possible to add "current performance condition" number? 

  • this value is not provided by the sdk, so unfortunately I cant

  • I ran into an issue I do not undrstand.  I loaded this screen in my Venu 3S

    It seems to work, except that the background is supposed to be black with white letters.  Instead I am getting a white background with black letters.  This is a port of a screen I was using on my vivoactive 4S.  The only things I changed were some positions and rescalling for th new device.

  • Further investigation says this is an error in day night swtiching.  For some reason, it appears to think it is night when it is not.  How is day/night determined?

  • I notice looking at the Guidance that some devices do not support day/night mode.  Perhaps that is what I am seeing.  A  quick goole search did not show me any information on which devices do/donot support it.

  • I can confirm that the screen works correctly once the day/night switch is turned off for all items.  It seems the Venu 3S does not support this. no problem.

  • Has anyone else done any testing on 3.6.1?  When do you think it can go on clones 1..5?  The only issue I have found is the designer using only two fonts instead of the full complement of xtiny..thi hot for the Venu 3S

  • Hi,I will update the other clones this week. Had no time to take a look into the issue with the fonts, its a rather major change.

  • Not sure I understand the font problem.  The Venu 3S has the normal complement of fonts.  I would not suggest any major changes.  I would probably just map it the same as say Approach S70 42 mm which has the same screen size and display type.  If this is not possible, then just leave the designer alone.  I would hate for you to do a lot of work.  It is usable now by selecting a different device like Approach S70 42 mm then just changing to the correct device before copying the sting to the clipboard.

  • Hi, there's a new Edge device that was introduced recently (1050).  Any chance we may see an update that adds this new device?  It has a much higher resolution screen than the 1040.   Thanks a million.
