HMs DIY #1-6

One more info:

Only If the order is reversed ("highest" color is lowest value [for example pace]) you have to put the lowest value first and check the "invert color order"!

New version 1.1.4 is out!

• 1.1.4 On initial open of software, my custom file I was working on is shown - but the filename in the title bar shows layout.xml (my file is called "F5 Plus font test 2.xml"). Wait. It appears it automatically saved a new file called layout.xml on exiting 1.1.3?
• 1.1.3 I created a course to follow and I selected Time to Dest - and it showed 00:00 (Garmin's filed was right). It must be said though that I started the course after I had begun with the workout. I wonder if this is related to the previous "all values are now reset on activity start"?

Note: When updating/testing for fonts I found that you need to exit the activity between string updates since the custom field string does not seem to update when you are already in the activity.

yes, the previous version saved to layout.xml on exit. I have reworked the handling, it was a little bit confusing.

Will add the custom time format with no leading zero to my todo list.

One more thing that came to my mind for the next release is a "Add" button, which will add an xml file to an already

opened one, instead of replacing the existing one. Then you can save some templates, for example dynamic colors.

Regarding fonts.txt: yes, the file is only loaded on startup, so you have to restart the app to see the changes.

Thanks!

I was unclear. I meant when updating strings on the watch, you need to exit the activity before you see the changes. That's on my Fenix 5 Plus

Maybe call it "import"?

Enjoying following the apps development. Almost all the functions that I used from the DIY field have been added. If you are still looking for features that haven't been ported over yet, some I'm missing are

Elapsed Time

Current Lap Time

Dynamically colour fixed text based on a data value as you can do now for graphic elements

Combine Data Values & Text in the same field so they can be aligned together (ie add % to the Gradient)

There is a small issue for the Edge 1030 layouts in the designer. The screen size on the Edge 1030 is 282 x 470. However if you create a filled rectangle that is greater than 281 wide or 469 high, which I've used to replicate a white background then the rectangle turns black & if the text/data elements are black they are effectively invisible.

This actually exists in the Edge 1030 example in 1.1.4 which also replicates the white background by having a full screen filled rectangle that is 282 x 470 

Thumbs up for the work so far in such a short space of time

If I add the following string:

GCFFXFFFFFF01012001200120@$VTTTT00000001012000091401$H:$M:$S@$GLNFX80808001000000470240004704@$GLNFX61616101000001040240010404@$VDSDS00000001011900550620@$VTETE80808002022100430310@$VFXFX00000002014900450112TE@$VFXFX00000002012400720112TTD@$VTVTV80808002023500690310$M:$S@$VCPCP00000002014601100710$M:$S@$VAPAP80808002024201170610$M:$S@$CFFFFFA12400FF00003120FF8000342000800039008080FF@$GRCFXFFFFFA01013301090102005407@$VHRHRFF80C001014201680700@$CFF80C001600FF00001470FF8000139000FF4012700000FF0100000000@$GRFFX008040010130016701000052@$C00804001600FF00001470FF8000139000FF40127080FFFF0010000000@$VAHAH00000001020801720600

My Fenix crashes.

This one (without dynamic fields) works:

GCFFXFFFFFF01012001200120@$VTTTT00000001012000091401$H:$M:$S@$GLNFX80808001000000470240004704@$GLNFX61616101000001040240010404@$VDSDS00000001011900550620@$VTETE80808002022100430310@$VFXFX00000002014900450112TE@$VFXFX00000002012400720112TTD@$VTVTV80808002023500690310$M:$S@$VCPCP00000002014601100710$M:$S@$VAPAP80808002024201170610$M:$S@$GRCFXFFFFFA01013301090102005407@$VHRHRFF80C001014201680700@$CFF80C001600FF00001470FF8000139000FF4012700000FF0100000000@$VAHAH00000001020801720600

Let me know if you need the XMLs

In addition, I have changed some font settings marked as done - this way they fit better on my F5+. I am mentioning this FYI.

yes, please post the xml file...
