You could copy and open the .png file that you are using for the date I port into photoshop illustrator and change the gradient to red for each set of numbers. Then re save file with same name replace the old one on your phone with the new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mowimux:
So I've been tinkering a little bit for the last 40 minutes or so, and this is what I got.

The first one is the theme I talked about in my previous post.

The second one is just something I've been trying some things on.

Nothing fancy, really.

A little bit about the first:

The hands are based on one of the originals in Watch Styler.

The line in the middle is the second hand, the minute hand is in the periphery (the red one), and the hour hand is in between (blue).

In the original set, the hour hand was the one in the periphery but I didn't like that, so I changed it.

I also removed the massice rings they were made of, and instead made them fade out.

The blue wasn't very visible, so I gave it a red curved arrow head.

The battery gauge is also based on stock item, but I made it a little lower. And I gave the Bluetooth icon a blue aura-like thingy because I liked the idea. when Bluetooth is off, there's no blue circle, but instead a red X over it. (Visibilty is important.. :))

The background and frame are both stock, so is the date except for the fact that I've made it show the time digitally as well (see previous post).

I'm still thinking about ways to change it, and you guys have already given me some ideas. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mowimux:
Thing is, I don't use an image for the date, it's entirely made up by code.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
I experimented with this option too... and didn't find a way to use 2 analoge clocks together. It's not even possible (at least I didn't manage...) to locate hands at different possitions (Example: a seperate chronometer for seconds)

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

I first edited the DATE_ITEM position, so the date would be at about the right location on the 10x10 matrix used by Watch Styler,

Then I edited the BG_PART image so the location of the date-box would correspond exactly to the date location.

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Well... All PARTs in an ITEM can only have the same color, determined in the "color" or "textColor" parameter at the end of each item.

So if you want to use several colors, you need to use the same amount of different items.

It is NOT possible to use the DIGITAL_ITEM and HANDS_ITEM in the same theme. But you can use DATE_ITEM or WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM together with HANDS_ITEM.

If I'm right, it IS NOT possible to use HOUR_PART, MIN_PART and SEC_PART in DATE_ITEM. Just YEAR_PART, MONTH_PART and DAY_PART.

However, it IS possible to use all these parts inside a DIGITAL_ITEM and a WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM.

So if you want to use an analog and a digital clock in the same theme, you should use WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM to add the digital time ,and maybe the DATE_ITEM to add date in another color. You could check out my Back To The Future theme for an example.

If you didn't get that to work, you might have a script error...A forgotten comma or brace maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] iherbivore:
The thing I found though is that you can have as many of those items as you want. You just have to give them each a unique name. So in the Timer face by max_r, the day_part is being used for hours or minutes or something, but I added a second day_part for the day /date display.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
... and an example theme to experiment with time and date formatting.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mowimux:
I find it somewhat obvious that DIGITAL_ITEM and HANDS_ITEM don't go together, otherwise it would be completely useless to specify what kind of theme we're working on. That being said, trying it out doesn't hurt, does it? :P (I did do that, without result of course)

I'm working on adding WORLD_CLOCK right now, and see if it works.

Well, the way I wrote my addition to the code, I have YEAR, MONTH, HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND all in the DATE_ITEM.

As you (hopefully) can see in the picture I posted (PRV_IMG_T4.png), it seems to work rather well.

As I mentioned, I'm working on adding WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM right now and I'll tell you if I get it working!

I'll check your BttF theme as soon as I've posted this reply.

As for script errors.. Yep.

Highly possible. Writing codes in Notepad isn't exactly ideal. No feedback on missing symbols. :rolleyes:

I do tend to miss some symbols when coding, it's only natural.

Thanks for the reply by the way! And the text on ITEMs and PARTs (And PRAT). I'm gonna save that one in a text document, if you don't mind? :) Always nice to have such things close at hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] killernow:
Can U share? many thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
What I should say is that you can use DIGITAL_ITEM and HANDS_ITEM in the same script but only one will work, depending on "themeType":"ANALOG" or "themeType":"DIGITAL"
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Patosbuddy:
[MENTION=402883]OpenMind[/MENTION].

I really love your work.

I have tested every watch face, but always return back to the blue radar.

If it's not to much work. Is it possible for you to add the date in the same style.

The on i like best is the one with minutes in the outer circle.

View attachment 2496578
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
The Radars are compatible with Watch Styler editor. You can add a date yourself at the Option-page. Maybe the second style preset?

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Hmmm.. I guess I had some script-error when I tested that a few weeks ago... and wrongly assumed it didn't work... and didn't try that anymore :D

I'm glad that more people start scripting now so I have some comparison :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mowimux:
Haha, easily done! As said before.. :)

But I'm guessing the software also may have gotten updated since then? I personally don't know that, but I've read about problems others have had.

Anyway, I have now tried adding WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM to my testing-theme (the second one I posted a picture of, called PRV_IMG_y.png).

What I've concluded is that my code seem to be correct, with only WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM in "clockTexts".

Except for one thing: It doesn't work while "themeType":"ANALOG", but if I change ANALOG to DIGITAL, it does work.

If I have both DATE_ITEM and WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM and "themeType":"DIGITAL", it still works. But I don't have the analog hands.

I wonder if it's actually possible to have an analog theme with world time. If it is, I'm surprised that it won't work for me and the fact that you can't add it in the Watch Styler program.

Have you had any success with this?

Regarding radar watch face date

I have tested them, but they don't fit.

I will test it out one day.

Maybe take away the "&" in the middle and enlarge the circle and put in the date there.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Well... I don't know :D Never noticed any problems with the item... but then I guess I only used it with digital clocks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Markor13:
I'm still learning how to make good faces and have a pretty stupid question which I believe I already know the answer to. Is there any way to resize the time or the date or anything like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
No... I don't change original designs.

& = a trademark by Bell & Ross. It's in the original Radar-design.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maximus96:
Look at all the Bell&Ross's here!

http://www.bellross.com/us/gallery/

can this be made with a functional power reserve indicator?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
Nice find
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tkjeeper:
That would be, wait for it...legen...dary!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Why not? The same trick I did with the Ingersoll Bison No 11.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maximus96:
i'll try with the silver version...need to study your .json file...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
The trick: 6 battery images, each with the pointer in another position.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maximus96:
right but for me the hard part is to get the pointer into the right position and to rotate correctly
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] d4rkchocolate:
Now that's one sexy Watch. That would look awesome once someone call pull this one off
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Rotation in half a circle = 180 degrees. So for six images you could chose 30 degrees per image

Getting the pointer at the right position:

With the x and y in the script locate it as good as possible, just left/above the pixel-perfect location.

Add transparant pixels on top and on the left of the battery images to "push" the picture pixel-perfect on the desired location.

You can calculate the perfect location when you know that Watch Styler devides the Gear screen in a matrix of 10x10 cells, which are 29x29 pixels each. There's 15 pixels margin on top/left/right/bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thekenderman:
... A Panerai could work as it has a power reserve indicator built into it too... But this Bell & Ross... Sexy...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Sorry to all those users who come to this thread just to find a lot of theoretical information from me instead of new clocks :D

See the sunny side... The more people understand how to build new designs, the more new clocks will pop up in a while :cool:

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

This thing really s*cks when you try to reconstruct the faceplate... It's not just removing the hands, but also micro-f*cking with the background pattern.

I have thrown myself on the gold version... but I think I will also do one with the black part of the faceplate only.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maximus96:
That's why I started with the silver version. I got everything separated but have to wait till later tonight to work the json file....

Yes. Working fine now, but the last time I downloaded the file is changed .

Nice one.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
h = Height of an item in grid cells

w = width of an item in grid cells

x=0 and y=0 are at top left at pixel position 15,15 (margin is 15 pixels. 0...14) for most items and images.

It is different for BG_PART, HANDS_PART and FRAME_PART... x=0 and y=0 are at screen center in these cases. The images are centered around the x,y position... if I'm right...

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] server5:
Saw those. The res is off or the stils are slightly scewed Maybe the second one after some adjustments....still looking for better shots
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Your silver version and my gold version have different dimensions, because you included more of the metal case. This makes your circular area smaller than mine.... so the positioning for the battery image will be different.

If you take too small values for w and h, the image will be cut-off at bottom or right.

My initial battery image used to be 90x90 pixels, with the axis at 45,45

The axis for the battery indicator should be at 130,213 on the background/frame image.

The battery image is positioned with the top-left corner at x-pos,y-pos

So... the x-pos of the batt indicator image needs to be at 130-45 = x-pixel 85.

Every position cell for Watch Styler is 29x29 pixels and there's a margin of 15 pixels.

So... to get at pixel 85 I need (85 - 15 margin pixels) / 29 = 2 cells ( = 58 pixels) + 12 pixels.

I add 12 transparant pixels to the left of my batt indicator, so the axis is pushed 12 pixels to the right and exactly positioned on the background..

The same calculations go for the y-pos.

y-pos should be at 213-45 = y-pixel 168.

To get at pixel 168 I need (168 - 15 margin pixels) / 29 = 5 cells ( = 145 pixels) + 8 pixels.

I add 8 transparant pixels to the top of my batt indicator, so the axis is pushed 8 pixels down and exactly positioned on the background.

The final batt image dimensions become 90+12 = 102 pix width and 90+8 = 98 pix height

batt item w = 102 / 29 = 3.517 --> 4 cells

batt item h = 98 / 29 = 3.379 ---> 4 cells ... but I used 3 because there's nothing on the bottom part of the image, so a cut-off doesn't harm
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] server5:
Meh, not quite. Need to shopp this properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maximus96:
how do you add exact number of pixels in photoshop? i was just pulling the crop border to the outside arbitrarily to get it right after many tries...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
I am using a very old version of Photoshop Elements (2.0, 2002), so I expect that there may be a little difference with newer versions and the full version.

But... As I said, my batt image was 90x 90 pixels and should become 102x98 pixels, shifted to the right/bottom

In my Photoshop I do:

Menu: Image / Resize / Canvas size.

I lock the anchor with the bottom-right Arrow (so the top and left side are changed)

Set Width to 102 and Height to 98... click OK.

That's it... 5 images to go :D

LOL... First I didn't notice... but the image that you atached, with the screen matrix projected, is the preview image for my theme... this time it's not a screenshot or a photo... it's the official Bell & Ross picture :laugh:

But hey... I could do that because my themes are becoming indistinguishable from the Original :angel: (lol)

I don't know if anybody noticed, but this time I experimented with a top-light diffuse shadow for the hands, seconds pointer and battery pointer.

You really have to look concentrated to notice them. Check when hands move over each other, or when they pass brighter elements.

The shadows really add some subconscious depth without immediatly understanding why. :cool:

:cyclops: *uploads BR0197Silver to Gear* :cool:

You used a directional shadow. I had this too in my first experiment, but I then realized this could only be possible when there's one light for every hand circling my Gear, which would be somewhat unpleasant.

Now I use 'top light'... light-x=0, light-y=0 with some blur. This kind of shadow would be visible in light from every direction and above... like daylight with sun behind a very thin layer of clouds (no hard shadow).

2. If posted anywhere else, you should add a link to the contributor on XDA I think.

3. I was asked by some users and admin to open a thread on this forum to collect all my themes. I think that's a far better idea.

Maybe you would like to open a thread on this forum to collect themes by all contributors?
