This is great .How did you do it ?
I think i did it by violating some rights of who made it. Here is the tutorial:
Copy from your system/apps folder the APP watchwidgets. Upload it do google drive or copy it with a USB to your computer.
Then rename it to ************.zip and open with WinRAR.
After that you open it and search for the pointers imagens. Change them with photoshop or similar but keep the same name. Save it but never extract the zip. Always keep it zipped.
In the end chance the name again to ***********.apk, move it to you Android and copy it to system/apps ( requiers root and a root explorer)

Hi,

I was wandering, if anyone has the same problem with the background that I do.
My backgroind is like this:


and it looks great, when the watch is connected to the phone:


But when the phone is disconnected, the background turns to two-color, black and yellow'ish:


Any ideas what is wrong? The background is png file.

regards,
Maciej

If you didn't notice, the backlight is ON on both photos. So it's not the case of the backlight. And the background looks ok even when backlight off, when the watch is connected.

From Sony SDK dev :

When defining widget layout, in addition to basic resources, you can provide extra
resources with optimized assets for no-touch mode and offline mode. If you don't provide
these extra resources, they will be generated automatically from the basic resources by
converting to:
o 4 shades of grey for the low power state
o 2 shades of grey (black and dark-grey) for the offline state

So it's not possible to have pure white when the watch is disconnect :/

Very strange, that the background widget gets converted to black-gray, while other (date/time) widgets do not.

See how it looks when connected:


And disconnected:

I think that original widget are in white and the other in grey. But I begin to try to develop my own watch and we can declare different background when the watch is disconnect. Maybe we can have white in disconnected mode by adding some code.

Personnaly, I don't see change on the phone but the wallpaper change on the watch, press power button to refresh it.
Thanks a lot mate! I was trying very late yesterday at night and I didn't check my watch! You're right! You don't see the background on the phone, but it's being applied on the watch!
Thanks a lot! I'll check now all these beautiful backgrounds! ?
