Wondering if there is a way in WFS to use two different colors for a font (in this case, using it for TIME)? What I’d like to do is make the top half of the font characters one color and the bottom half another color. I’ll want to pinpoint the exact line where the colors change. Is that possible? If so, can you point me to any documentation on how to do it?
Thank you!
Gradient color? If so I think this may help…
I wonder if you mean this sort of thing . Mastering Masks is a Good thing to have under your belt . Sorry I cannot explain it . I am not that good with words.

Oh, Perfect! The link to Gradient colors on copy/numbers was just what I needed! I created a gradient (450x450) in Photoshop, saved it in the WFS images file, then created a masked time group. Worked exactly as I hoped!
Thanks for setting me on a new learning path! I had not played with Masks before!
Can you please direct me to the WFS Images file . I have been there but cannot find it these days .
C:\Program Files\WatchFaceStudioBeta\resources\sample
Yes, it can be done: freebie. As others said, use masking.
I know that what you do will be artistic. To distibguish myself, I focus on bland. 
Thanks Peter . Sadly that Path does not work for me . I am on wWFS 1.8.10 and it is not designated beta . Obviously stored on a different place .
Welllll, I moved mine around to suit my preference, so I’m not sure this is the original path. Mine is at: C:\Users\smoln\AppData\Local\Programs\WatchFaceStudio\resources\sample\image
Folders labeled “image_sequence,” “animated_resource,” “watch hand,” and “index” are in the same location so you might try searching on one of those folder names.
Bitmap fonts can do it but you need to understand and have software (Adobe Illustrator) how to take any font and create an object from it. You also need to understand how to then “divide” your font object however you like and then save to individual "pieces’ as white, transparent .png. Then also understand how to assemble it all back together in WFS so you can apply a theme color palette to them.
In the example the object (time) is broken up into 3 parts of a top/bottom and middle, with the middle also having an opacity gradient on it to give it that “bleed” between the colors. Then a theme palette can be applied to each individual top/bottom/middle piece in WFS giving me tons of different color combinations.
Careful not to just lose your mind trying to keep track of everything though 
I have some ideas for you, but I’m away from home right now, and don’t have the time. I’ll hit you up next week when I’m back home. Not sure if there’s private messing on this forum, but if there is, remind me, or just reply here I guess, I get the notification.
Following the instructions I was referred to at the link to “Gradient colors on copy/numbers,” here’s how my time font turned out:

Here’s the finished font
Yay . Well done . Did you make the Font . Looks to me you got exactly what you wanted . Good bit of learning as well . Thanks for the Path to the WFS resources . I have looked around there . Now I can look more and search a bit .
I think it is this one:
Thanks for the link to the font there Peter .
Thank you @smolnar18 . Found the resources , Example WFS and Fonts . Much appreciated. I am going to go have a look in my old GWD see what is hiding there . I have forgotten .
You’re welcome! You’re always the one helping me out, so I’m glad to have found some tiny thing I could help with!
Once I found all those resources > sample folders, I started using them and adding to them. I put all the hands I make into their “watch hand” folder. I created an “Icon” folder for icons I make. And I use their “image” folder for all the face backgrounds I make. As you can see, I added new folders under “image” to organize my face and face parts (since I have so many!). This all helps me find the things I need when I’m creating a new face.
Yeah . Good Idea . I could not tell you the resources I have mine and " others " A lot were made for another platform and the files include Gifs and Fonts . Originally I was making resources 2400x2400px . I soon stopped that . I wonder if you update to another version of WFS does that stuff get over written or is the Update appended to that Folder .
Apparently the Topic has been solved . Silly me . I keep getting my wrists slapped here . I think I will have a Look at TimeShow and see if I can make some money .
I was worried it would get overwritten, so I moved it to another location before updating. Later, I read it would not overwrite it, but to be safe, I’ll probably do the same next update.
Yeah, once I found these folders I could see what size the samples were (for faces, hands, etc.). From then on, I make all my faces 450x450 and all my hands 50x450.
What’s TimeShow? I’ll have to look it up!
TimeShow is not as good as WFS or the others . It is the New Kid on the Block so it is a bit easier to become a Seller . At the Moment . Sadly any work can only be previewed Real Time on the Watch . There is no Simulator . They say it is GW7 compatible . I only say that to be Provocative . That is the reason I keep getting warned :::)))
