HMs DIY #1-6

Hi

Thanks for the info. I already got the mapping for the fonts from devices.xml file. But, because the garmin fonts are not available as ttf, I had to choose similiar ones and map them to the garmin ones. And thats much work, because its about a thousand mappings for all fonts for all devices )-:

Well done for breathing life into the DIY format. I had to stop using the original easuvorov app as the layout I created became too unstable on my Edge so I'm really looking forward to following your development.

I'm eager to get going however I'm seeing some layout issues with the designer app on my PC, which is causing a bit of a problem that I can't overcome. Hopefully the attached screen capture will explain better than I can in words

Designer Screen Capture

Hmm, it seems the absolute coord of the gui are completely off, so all graphic elements have wrong coord. First thing that comes to my mind is windows font size. Do you use a large screen resolution with big font size?

Can you please post your hard/software config. 

Regards

Erich 

I think you pointed me in the right direction. My Display Resolution is set to the recommended setting of 1920 x 1080, but with that setting the font size is way too small so it was scaled to 125%, which is causing the layout issues in the app

I've changed the properties of the exe file so that it overrides the High DPI scaling settings with 'System (Enhanced)' & the app window now displays correctly when opened. Thanks for the pointers

Hi

Thanks for the info!

I will take a look to fix that in the app. I can't be the solution that you have to change your settings so that my app is working correctly (-:

Thanks for looking into this Erich.. At least for the moment there is a workaround, which enables me to use the designer so its no big deal for me as I'm sure you've got plenty of things on your to-do list

I have been testing to try to find how the form mappings should be for my Fenix 5 Plus.

However, on my test fields (just some lines and fixed text), I am seeing a lot of fonts not displayed. I think there may be a bug there?

Hi

Thats because NR_ Fonts can only show digits and not letters!

 A short summary of the feature/bug requests I will try to add in the next release. I hope that I can finish the next version till the end of the week.

* DPI aware GUI

* reset values after workout finished.

* Increase maximum config string length to 5000 bytes.

* Dynamic colors for graphic elements (for this the config string structure has to be changed, so you will have to copy the    config string again from the new designer version)

* new values: average heartrate, gps accuracy, gradient, distance to destination, time to destination, ETA, training effect, lap nr

* custom format string for time fields

* new button "Save layout as", so the "Save layout" button does not popup a file choose dialog

* Possibility to enter different layout strings for different sport types (Run, Cycle, Other)

That‘s perfect!

I‘m looking forward since I have built my first design for Edge 1030 with about 1500 bytes string-length.

And give us the option to PayPal you!
