If you want different set of images for day and different for night:
*
create another set of bitmap fonts (you can name them Nightfonts or anything else)
*
upload night-weather images (the same way we did in the guide)


*

*

after you’ve created another set of weather fonts
click on opacity Tags

set opacity / enter formula:

for night weather images / night set of fonts:
0 + [WTHR_IS_DAY]==1?0:100

for day weather images / day set of fonts:
0 + [WTHR_IS_DAY]==1?100:0

I’m not a watchface seller, sorry. What I make I make for myself.
Making watchfaces is just a nice and interesting brain exercise for me. :wink:
