Can I Make Sets of Analog Hands Selectable in a Face?

[smolnar18]

Is there a way to make multiple sets of analog hands available to select from on the watch/wearable app?

Thanks!

You can set hands as a Style . Only the image can be changed . Its motion is set by the layer .

Oh, boy! I played around with styles and got some unexpected results. Then, I couldn’t figure out how to delete style without deleting the hands themselves. I took a quick look in the User Guide, and read through some of the Styles topics, but they were so vague (to me) that they didn’t help.

Can you point me to a basic guide to using styles?

Thanks!

You will have to bear with me a bit . We have visitors so I will do what I can when I can . Sadly I think we need to set a style for each Hand . But that is not a big problem . I think it will be a good exersize for you to learn how style works .

The animated .gif below is very basic, but maybe it shows enough.

[GUIDE] Masking to implement swaping of element

Hi, if anyone wants to toggle on and off elements to do swaping , currently masking is the only way. And also used of the customization editor to merge the elements styles. My example here toggles on and off the analog hands but at same time does the reverse to digital clock = swap. Credit to @rollergold question [style1] [style2] this is my outcome in my example masking basics [mask] put the “mask” meaning for this case the transparent image as the layer on top of the digital clock…

Only to add the alternatives, but you can group the styles later on and reduce the customize options to just picking a set of hands.

Us @russellcresser u do a merge to group them so u only change a group e.g “hands”.

Mayalona, Sorry to be so late responding. Thanks so much for the file. Unfortunately, I tried to open the .wfs file (I removed the .zip), but apparently you are using the beta version, which is later than my 1.7.13 version. WFS will not open later-version files in an older version. I did not plan on updating to the beta version, as I’m just learning WFS and don’t want to deal with beta functionality. I appreciate the effort and am sorry I cannot give it a look right now.

you can try this codelab to better understand styles in watch face studio.

Thank you! That codelab taught me a lot. Some things work a little differently than shown there, but the differences were minor enough that I could figure it out.
