Alignment The alignment properties determines which corner the position of the widget refers to. It also affects rotation. For growing widgets (like text) it also determines into which direction the widget grows when the content changes. The screenshots below show how a Square is aligned at the position 0,0 with the different settings.

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 05 Sep 2017 02:23:53 +0000

Animated GIF Animated GIF are very similar to image widgets, so please refer to them for their general use. Notable differences are GIF do not get a Shader property, and do not allow a New Image option. To change GIFs, delete and add a new one. Pay heed to the length of the GIF as long files, depending on their size, may take a few seconds longer to load into the Watchmaker file system.

gyro

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 20:12:30 +0000

Gyro Effect This property takes a numeric value from -100 to 100. It controls how much a widget is influenced by the watch's gyroscopic sensors. The higher the number the more a widget will “wiggle” when you move your wrist. Using negative numbers will invert the effect.

Image Widget Images are the easiest way to give your watch that special look. You can use them as a simple background or as elements in your watch design. Watchmaker comes with some built-in images (sdcard/BeautifulWatches/images). To use your own images you will need to transfer the image to your phone and have it available through your gallery app. Tools like

layer_name

Layer Name Each new widget automatically gets a name assigned in the form of “Layer ”. But you can easily change it by tapping the name. Giving your widgets speaking names, makes it easier to refind widgets that might not always be visible and helps to avoid mistakes.

Lua Scripting Introduction Just like their physical counterparts on non-smartwatches, Watch faces can be very complex, with intricate parts all with their own simple functions, and they need to interact with other parts to fulfill more complex functions. They're not all just pretty pictures with hands.

markers

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:31:17 +0000

Markers (Freeform) This widget allows you to create marker dials. It may seem redundant, since both the “Watch Background” and “Hour+Minute Markers” already provide such a feature. However, this widget gives you a LOT more control over the output. So, what can we do here that we can't do elsewhere?

opacity

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:24:13 +0000

Opacity The opacity property accepts a value from 0 to 100. Where 0 set an element to completely invisible while 100 means it's completely opaque. The Screenshot shows Opacitie values of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100. Please note: when you use a shader, the opacity is set in the shader. The widget's

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:58:15 +0000

Positioning All widgets are placed via their X and Y coordinates. You can drag and drop them on the watchface, but as soon as there are multiple widgets it gets error prone. The cleaner way is to edit they X and Y properties directly. The screenshot shows how the coordinates are aligned. All widgets are positioned relative to the center of the watch face.
