HwWatchFaceDesigner version 1.0.2.18 seems to be missing data types. Any experiences?

[Shaker1978]

Hello.
I downloaded the official watch face designer from here: https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/distribution/content/themes-design-tools
and get along with it quite well. I am new to the watch face development, so I am unsure, which settings to use to create a watch face for the Honor Magic Watch 2 46mm. My problems are:

If I use series GT 2 (454x454), then data type "unread messages" is not available. PM25 is not available, too. Only AQI.
If I use series GT (454x454), then unread messages are selectable, PM25 and AQI as well, but there is no data type for stress. But I've seen watch faces that display the stress index. But how?

Because GT1 dont have stress feature so gt1 faces dont support it. And from GT2 there is new xml structure that handle all new stuff like stress. But unread message data type is not avalible in gt2 watchface building mode. Blame Huawei for this. We cant add it while in gt2 (or in Facemaker Enchanced mode). You can always use gt1 files in gt2/e/pro/honor device with unread messages, but without stress.

"HwWatchFaceDesigner version 1.0.2.18 seems..."
You can try older designer version and say to us if it support unread messages ing gt2 mode or not too.

GT2 mode has more new features, like circle widget for altitude/preasure, combo image for most datatype, option to make number with combo in any angle, distance, second time zone, changeable wigdets via watch. Also some options can be used to make touch-shortcuts that will work on gt2pro/GSpro.

I can say also that in GT2 mode you can make one watchface that have hundrets of background combinations. Maybe tausens. All configured directly in watch via watchface setting.

Alright. I was unsure, which Huawei model is equivalent to my Honor Magic Watch 2. It's the GT2, so GT2 is the model I have to choose, but then I am missing unread messages and PM2.5 (which is new to me at all). Are this particle density and the air quality index reported by the weather service inside the Health App or what's the source of these values?

I am in contact with Huawei, they told me to wait until November release of the designer. We'll see. Where do I get older versions from?

I wonder how all the current GT2 watch faces could've been made. There are some watch faces that contain stress and unread messages. They haven't been made with this designer but with Facemaker, right?

Can you post here hwt or screen of watchface that contain unread messages & stress feature?

You can use GT1 mode while build watchface. These faces works for all huawei watches, no matter if gt1, gt2 or honor. Faces created in gt2 mode dont work on gt1 only.

If your contact with huawei is true, I'm happy if will be new release with maybe new options.

BTW PM2.5 dont work for some or most countries. So at all nobody using it while creating watchface.

I'm afraid, I cannot. I checked the watch face store again more precisely, looking for this kind of watch face in particular - nothing. It must have been a wrong impression I got. I find watch faces with unread messages - obviously GT1 or only very few with stress, but they don't show unread messages. What a fail. Maybe that's why I started designing my own watch face in the first place

The new Designer is out! 10.1.2.28 and fixes the issue about the missing "unread messages" for the GT2 model PM2.5 is still missing, but will not contain any value in many countries (like mine) anyway.

There is more news in this release. Sunset/sunrise time, weather for next hours, shortcuts for calrecords and contacts. Also Moon phases added. Have you tried Arcing Text?? :laugh:

Yes, very shortly just to get the idea, what it does
There are a lot more functions now than there's space on the display
