HMs DIY #1-6

Version 1.1.2 is available!

Thank you. In 1.1.2, if I change from fixed text, to current pace, I cannot change back to fixed text. I need to create a new field

Hi, thanks for the info. Will upload 1.1.3 in a few minutes. Found another small bug with the config strings.

And although my layout is saved with Fenix 5 Plus, on open it becomes Fenix5S Plus

I have created a layout for testing font alignment:

Can I assume the lines are 100% accurate so I can check amount of pixel offset?

Yes, there were some problems with the special characters in the device names. If you select the right one now it should be displayed ok.

By the way, the selected device is only for displaying, the string is the same for all devices!

Just uploaded Version 1.1.3 of the designer.

Hi, yes graphic elements should be displayed correct in position and size. Only the colors depend on the device, because not every device can display all colors.

Super. Looking forward to more fields (not at least the ability to mark values as "for last lap".

Is it possible to do strokes on fonts (white with black line) - this is very helpful if on dynamically coloured backgrounds.

I think it's a good idea to show the current filename in the editor so you know what you're saving/overwriting.

BTW. I just wanted to say thanks again.

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong.

I am trying to change setup on a font but it does not seem to have any effect:

FNT_FENIX5_CHRONOSSEMIBOLDCONDENSED_26PX;IDR_FNT_BEBASNEUE_REG; 37; 3; -5

I changed the number to 3 above - and I cannot see any difference at all. What do I need to do to make sure it takes effect?

Hi

You will have to reopen the designer again. It loads the fonts.txt file only on startup.
