You'll see the standard mobileWATCH "About" screen. 6. 7. Tap the "Edit face" button. 8. The screen will be blank because there are no custom faces. 9. Tap the popup list and select "Edit..." 10. You will see the 'Manage faces' screen. 11. Tap "Add" and create a new custom face. 12. Tap "OK" and return to the EditFace screen. 13. Now you'll see the new face, but nothing is in it yet. 14. Tap the menu bar and you can add/manage the items in the face. 15. Your best bet at this point is to select "Create default" and this will populate the new custom face with a default set of items, then you can edit those as you see fit. 16. Tap "Done", then "Done" and you will see the face. When you are on the "EditFace" screen, here's what the controls are: 1. The face name is at the top. Open this list to select which face will be active, or will be edited. 2. On the left side is a list of the objects on the face. The face is painted with the top item first, bottom item last. You can control which object overlap which by having the appropriate order in the list. When you tap on a list item it will populate the fields on the right. 3. The "Type" popup list will allow you to change an item from one type to another. There are only 7 types of items at this time, but this may (likely) grow. These are bitmaps, text strings, shapes, date elements, event elements, time elements, and battery info. These are dissussed more below. 4. Each item is located on the screen with an x-y coordinate pair. You can adjust where the coordinate is in the object by selecting the margin popup lists. By default, the cooridinate is at the top left corner. 5. A color selector is at the right. Tap the colored button to pop up a color selector. B/W bitmaps will be shaded to this color, colored bitmaps will get whatever color that the bitmap already has. 6. Shapes have a dx(width) dy(height) and r(corner radius) value. You can use the r value to crate circles. 7. Strings, dates, events and battery info have a Font selector. 8. Strings include an editable field where you enter the desired text. 9. For a date element, you can display the DayofWeek, month, date or year, or any combination of those. If you want the year to be displayed at one spot on the screen, and the date at another, or in a different font, you just need to create separate items for each part. 10. Event elements can display the event name and/or countdown. 11. For a Bmp element, you have to selecte which app to grab the bmp from, and which bmp number in that app to use. The bmp will display at the bottom right for your reference. 12. For a time element, you can choose to display the hour, minute or both. You also have to select the bimap for the "0" digit, and the other digits will be picked automatically. This presumes that the digits bitmap ID numbers are ordered sequentially. They are in BW and in BA, but may not be in all apps. 13. For battery elements, you can display the battery icon, plus that %charge or voltage. 14. Add/delete items using the menu commands.
