Watchface: Glance

Hello again,

One feature request for the Handy IQ from me as well.

For each of the metrics, there is usually some Text and an Icon, and we can choose the colour of each or choose a base or custom colour.

My request is to also have the option to turn off either the text or the icon (not only have both as it is now). 
My use case is that I want to make an extremely minimalist setup and for some of the metrics, like the battery for example I would prefer to have either only the percentage or the icon(assuming the icon is dynamic ) if the icons are not dynamic, then I could have only the battery percentage text as a use case example.

 As it is now, as a workaround, I could set the icon colour to black so it doesn’t show on my black background, but that only works on the top and bottom fields because the text is not centred and doesn’t look good in any of the other positions.

Thanks!

Great watch face!

It is certainly possible, but I struggle with choosing what to display instead of AM/PM (along with Status icons). What would you recommend?

To be honest, I like quite minimalist designs and from the status icons, I only really need the BT connection one and the clock one that shows me when I have an alarm set. 
With the above in mind, I would just like to see only the status icons properly centred, depending on which field they are in, without anything replacing the AM/PM indicator.

You can use the workaround above:

I don't exactly understand how you want to center the text. It is already centered. Can share a picture of what you mean?

That said, this is not a common scenario, at least not for this specific app. Perhaps minimalistic design would better work in a dedicated minimalistic app. Please share your ideas and I'll consider it for future development.

This is true. I can set the metric colour to black and the AM/PM text disappears, but that only works okay-ish if I use it in the top and bottom fields, kind of. The reason is that the text is still there, I just can't see it, so the icons are not centred in the metrics field and look weird.

I understand. As I mentioned, that would be better served by a specialized app.

I am not a programmer and don't know how a specialised app would integrate with this watchface and implement that option, but I guess that is for you to figure out if you decide to do that at some point in the future .:) 

Thanks for responding.

Let's take the Battery percentage metric. If I want to display it, it displays the percentage text, for example, 56% and the battery icon. 
I would like to have the option to disable the battery icon completely and only show 56% in that field. 
Currently, this is not possible and that is why I said that as a workaround, I can set the icon colour to black, which is the same colour as my background and then the battery icon will be effectively invisible for me. However, it is still there, so the 56% text is off-centre in that metrics field and it looks weird. 

What I mean by, I want to have the metric centred is not that it currently it is not centred. I know it is, but currently, what is centred is the combination of text and icon.
As part of my request, if you ever implement the option to actually remove the icon, as an option, and only display the text, then that text needs to be centred in the metrics field. That is what I meant. 

I understand, no need to draw. Thank you for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind.
