Your file has everything on the same line . here is the corrected file. Remember 4 lines for each text.
I'm a knuckle head LOL! It was an extra two lines, I though 4 lines came after the text and not start with it. Anyway it works, but prior upon fixing can I ask when text form like it is -

S
unday

Is it suppose to look like that? When I used it it came out as Sunday but gave me the option to add more choices, fonts, colors, alpha etc. When i changed font the S changed and the rest didn't, which is neat but I'm just curious if its suppose to look like that above.

As far as the other text files, can you update the app information when you update the app, to show what we need for hour/minutes/months etc.?

With text format there are two choices for font, color, text size, alpha etc. They are for alternative lines.
All four lines will be combined to form one text by the app. But alternate lines with different colors.

Now if you have the idea you can map anything to months name, week day's name etc. More text formats are coming up like for weather conditions which will be useful to map weather conditions to any language.

No uzip yet - just a link to DeviantArt and the same zip file as before.

What a simple text file can do:

Untitled.png



Each day can be broken into 4 lines as seen in the image above. Here only two lines are used and two are left blank. Days are entered from sunday to saturday. Below is the result;

device-2012-04-22-202215.png


The attached file "alternative_day_of_the_week.txt" is set in the app as shown below. Put "alternative_day_of_the_week.txt" in your sdcard. Open app. Choose "day of the week" member and select text format.

Press "file" button. Choose "select file" and set using file manager the "alternative_day_of_the_week.txt".

The process should be used for custom texts for year, month, day of the week, day of the month, hour, minute, ampm members. Any text can be mapped in any language. For other languages their fonts may be required and you know how to set fonts.

That was a great tutorial. How about one more on how to make custom clocks. Let's say I take a picture of my watch, use photoshop to cut out windows where I want to put things like date, etc, save it as a PNG. Did I do it right? Then I import the picture into UCCW and want to put a time dial or hands in it that keep time. A tutorial on this would be great. thanks

How about global attributes for each widget?
eg.Font,shadow,size to be set so it applies to all elements at once without have to go and change it in every element?
And btw you made other clock widgets somewhat obsolete not us :p

I have a small suggestion; when you pick a specific colour for say the hour, if you close the app and decide to set the same colour for the minutes for example, it defaults to cccccc, so you have to try and,remember what that awesomely perfect colour was. Is it possible in your coding to ensure that colours are remembered until you change them?

Take two pictures of your watch with clock hands at different times. use photoshop to extract dial; now that you have two pics you can remove the clock hands. Best is to remove the hands manually if you can then take the pic - but this is not always feasible.


Meanwhile, here are some clock dials for you to play with.

Have fun.

Thanks for your quick response. But this is more what I had in mind.

    UCCW Starter Pack

    uccw%20starter%202.png


    With so many new people giving uccw a try,I put together a few resources to get them started to clock creation.

    So this contains clock png's(104) from the png pack i had posted earlier,fonts(138) and weather images(4 sets).

    Copy the fonts to "/sdcard/fonts" on the root of your sd card(check there are no folders inside the font folder,just the fonts)
    Copy the weather images folders(extract the zip,You will find 4 folders) to "/sdcard/UltimateCustomClockwidget/weather" folder.
    This should keep anyone busy for a while :p
