[Samsung Gear S] S8Gonzo:
Making Clock Face using Photoshop

What I do is:

1) Open Watch Styler on your phone/device. ( I use Galaxy S3 )

2) Create new theme, and name it whatever you want your theme to be called. ( example: Pacman00 )

3) Put an icon or time inside of it just to save something for now.

4) Click the upper right hand icon at the top to save the theme.

5) Exit and leave it for later.

6) Create a new project in Photoshop with dimensions of 360 X 480 ( My Gear-S resolution )

7) Start designing the background image and I save it. (Pacman00_BG.jpg) Save an image of it as high quality jpeg.( I will modify it more later for alignment and Icon placements)

8) Connect your Device to your computer and save image to your sd card on Device.

9) Open Watch Styler and click on Pacman00 located at the bottom.

10) Click "Edit". ( First option bottom left )

11) Your first menu option should be "Background" at the top and should have 3 buttons right below it. ( default images/ Load Image/ Take photo) Click on the middle one and navigate to your saved image.

**** Your background for your project will change to your newly created image file. From here you will start designing your theme with all the required buttons and hands etc.

**** Things you may want to do, to further customize things like buttons and frame/ battery/ etc

- Personally I do not use Frame. I design it on the background I just center it ( the hour/minute ticks)

- I place the digital clock and size it to the size/color/font I want. (theres a way to change font but i havent tried yet)

- I do the same for Date.

- I haven't used world clock - not yet.

- I use app shortcut for phone. Place it and size it. Any icon will do. The size will just be for a "hot spot". Image doesnt matter only size.

- Notification icon should only be used for the position of the numbers that appear. ( example used is 256) Place that number where you want the numbers to appear in your background and size it accordingly. The icon portion of it only matters as the area for it will be used for a hotspot. I will explain more on it later. Just focus on the 256.

- Pedometer, same as notification. Place the numbers where you want them to appear. Make it the color you want too.

- I dont use the bluetooth icon but if you want to use it place it as you would your phone icon. Image doesnt matter.

- Battery icon I use is the first one. Just because the image file is easier to work with. place it dont worry about image only position.

12) Save project. Once it is saved a new preview image is saved to your Device.

13) Exit Watch Styler.

14) If your phone isn't already connected to your computer, connect it.

15) navigate to Watch Styler project directory on my phone.

Mine is located at : \SPH-L710\Phone\Android\data\kr.co.omnicns.android.appcessory.watchstylermanager.gear3.s\PacMan00

16) Grab the entire directory(Pacman00) and drag it out to your desktop.

17) Open your Photoshop project and Finish up your design.

- I open Preview.png beside my project so i know where everything is as far as icons n stuff. You can also just add it as a layer so you can click back and forth.

- Design a frame if you want to use one. I just work off of center. ( hour/minute ticks around the clock)

- I make the icons for phone/pedometer and i place them in the background. (n bluetooth if you want it)

- I make the background images to the numbers for pedometer /notification and also for the digital clock/date/battery if i need it.

**Everything should be about done at this point. You just need to design your clock hands.

18) Save your new Pacman00_BG.jpg back into your phone.

From this point on your theme will still be editable inside Watch Styler.

19) Open your project again and load your new background.

Your new background image will be loaded. View the positioning of all your icons on your image. Ignore the fact that the old images are still showing.

If your positioning is off repeat the process until everything is where you need it to be.

*** You will not be able to mod your theme inside Watch Styler beyond this point. (without screwing something up)

*** The files to overwrite below use the directory on your desktop

20) Once you are ready to move on save your new background as a PNG and just overwrite the file inside the directory on your desktop.

2 files total.

Mine are:

PacMan00_1442695525686.png

IMAGE/PacMan00_1442695525686.png

21) work on battery image based off of the BATTERY_.png files inside your theme folder located on your desktop. Modify them so that the icon looks the way you want. SAVE/Overwrite

*** file names may vary just get the files similar

22) Modify _HANDS.png files the way you want. S_ = seconds, M_ = minutes H_ = hours. Save/Overwrite old files.

23) Open up NOTIFICATION_00.png, PEDOMAETER_005.png, and SHOTRCUT_ICON_003.png (bluetooth if you put that in too) inside of photoshop and cut out any images inside, make sure it is just clear and save it. (it may be white so make sure you dont miss it)

Not sure how other people do it, but I...

24) Grab the directory on your desktop with all the erased and modded files and then overwrite the directory on your phone with them. Desktop to -> Device

mine is at:

\SPH-L710\Phone\Android\data\kr.co.omnicns.android.appcessory.watchstylermanager.gear3.s\PacMan00

Start Samsung Gear Manager and Pair it with your Gear-S using bluetooth.

25) Start Watch Styler.

26) Click on Pacman00 Theme - Dont click on editable

27) Click on Apply.

28) You should be sent back to Samsung Gear Manager. Click on Home Screen Styler.

29) Click on Clock. (Top Right)

30) Select any clock that ISNT WatchStylerGear just to load anything.

31) Then click on the Gear Icon next to WatchStylerGear.This will send you back to watchstyler!

32) Click on your theme once again! - almost done

33) Press back and itll take you back to Samsung Gear Manager!

34) NOW select WatchStylerGear.

That should be it. The watch should load and display your clock.

If you want to save your theme as owsc file

Open Watch Styler

Click on your theme Icon- DO NOT EDIT.

Click on share- send an email to yourself.

Check your email and download the file.

That is your new theme.

I believe that the file is actually just a renamed zip. So if you dont want to send it to yourself i believe you can just zip the file up and name it PacMan00.zip and then rename it to PacMan00.owsc.

Sorry for that choppy confusing tutorial.

Short answer is.

Make an image background that includes your Icons in the background image.

Create a project using WatchStyler with your theme name.

Load the image you created into that theme.

Position icons.

Save.

Erase the images(not the files themselves, but erase the pixels inside image) of the icons inside the directory created by Watch Styler.

Mod any other image you want changed. Clock hands/ Frame/ Battery/ Bluetooth

Once the directory is modded don't edit, just load onto watch.

and presto done.

I will make a better tut later. Hopefully i didn't confuse anyone.

Theme isn't all that practical since text is small but its nifty.

Lives at bottom is battery life.

Notifications and date is up at the top like your score.

Phone icon is the joystick.

Pedometer is shown at the right as the blue button.
