How to add multipe styles to a watchface

Galaxy Watch for Tizen Tizen Native APIs

I’m developing a watchface and I want to add different styles. How can I insert preferences for those styles?

While choosing a watchface on my device, for some of them is available a selector at bottom of the screen that permits to choose a style. Tapping on it, a new UI permits to choose a background, a color, the date part, etc.

It’s a function reserved to predefined watchfaces or I’m missing something?

The preinstalled watch faces are built into the system and have low level capabilities not accessible for developers using Tizen Studio or Galaxy Watch Designer.

There are 3rd party tools that allow similar type customizations but they generally use a companion app on the mobile.

Are you going to do this using Tizen Studio or Galaxy Watch Designer. If using Tizen Studio you can set global variables. Galaxy Watch Designer currently does not have a means for changing “Themes” you can just change components by hiding and revealing them.

Thank you Ron. I’m using Tizen Studio to build a native watchface. I want just to hide or show some elements.

If you go to GitHub there is an example project that starts from the beginning and the last part describes how to change a view.

There may be better example in GitHub and that is where I’d start

I use Tizen Studio and can change the color of the needles, the text (full or partial), backgrounds and other functions without using libraries.
Also with Tizen Studio the changes are stored in memory and in the AOD they can also be customized.
