Guide: Creating custom menu options

Watch Face Studio
1

I recently figured out how to add arbitrary selection screens to the edit watch face menu, and thought I’d share my process in case anyone found it useful - I published it at https://nthn.uk/blog/wfs.html.

In brief, the method comprises the following steps:

  • extract the final apk from watch face studio into a folder
  • modify the configuration file stored in the watch face to add more menu options
  • add configuration blocks to make use of the new menu options
  • creating a new apk incorporating this modified file

I hope this is helpful!

Hello, yes, this works just fine and it proves that something like this: WFS Feature Requests Q3 2023 - #17 by amoledwatchfaces
is definitely possible.
Hopefully it will be added to WFS soon :slight_smile:

Congratulations and thanks, you found and described way how to partially bypass the persistent avoidance to enhancing the “scoop of WFS” with user interactive tags.

The question arose, is it possible to add a data source such as calories burned to the dial using the same method? So that they correspond to what is shown on the watch?

Alas no. There is no tag for calories in WFF, so even bypassing WFS won’t help. The best you can do is to show calories in a complication.
