How can i make a certain day of the week light up on my watch face

[fanbmw555]

I want to make it so that a certain day of the week glows, and the rest remain in the shadow. So that the day that is today glows. Tell me detailed instructions. You can also make a video and it is even more convenient. Thanks in advance

There are multiple methods.

For example you can make 7 text fields with 1 week day name in each. Then set opacity of that each text field like this for Sunday

repeat 6 times, change 1 to 2 for Monday … to 7 for Saturday

Or check some older threads for different methods like bitmap fonts or masking:

One letter day of the week

Hello, I think you are unnecessary overcomplicating it. Make the bitmap images of the whole arc segment for each day and assign them in bitmap font directly to numbers not to letters, so you do not need to convert them with the expression. Or make simple curved text and let a “hand mask” with rotation for week day number make them shine [image] Or use some hollow letters font as a mask [image]

Or you can use sharp gradient progress bar as a mask and let it slide above text field with days

I still don’t understand how to do it. Can you give more details with photos or just a video. Thanks in advance.

In this example I repeated the trick with gradient progress bar, that I used as a mask for text field with day names and let it slide a bit each day.
