Image widget on Mi Band 8 won't show on band

[edemir206]

Hello, first of all thanks for the great software.

I'm trying to create a watchface but I have some problem with images, i'm adding png images but they do not appear on the watch ? What am I missing ? doesn't mi band 8 support png images ?

Can you send your project? Mi Band 8 fully supports pngs and transparent background images with the _rgba suffix.

Ok now images are working fine, my project was somehow messy and had to started over, but now I have this odd errors, circled in red I have this strange artifact. In yellow I have date, but it is totally wrong. Can you help me fix this errors? Many values are also wrong like step count, can you check my project if its right ?  I attached my project here: [edemir-watchface-project.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18349868/edemir-watchface-project.zip)

Another issue, the clock is 1 hour ahead.

Only on Mi Band 8 specifically, images must be different for each widget. For example, the steps widget must use a different set of images for the numbers compared to the calories widget. The tens and ones digit for the hour/minute must also be seperate widgets, using the Hour High/Hour Low/Minute High/Minute Low data source.

I have not tested this out on my Mi Band 8 watchfaces, but it seems like its enough to use a different image for the negative digit so that it works properly without conflicts (https://github.com/m0tral/EasyFace/wiki/DigitalNumbersRU)

This only applies for the Mi Band 8 and Mi Band 7 watches other watches do not require this. You can see the documentation for this on EasyFace's wiki at https://github.com/m0tral/EasyFace/wiki/DigitalNumber

Ok got it.

But now i'm struggling with weather icons. this part does not work for me:

I have w0.png w1.png w2.png up to w19.png configured but the widget is never displayed. What am I missing ?

Does w3.png should be named "!w3,7,8,9,10,11,12,19,21,22,23,24,25,42,301.png" ?????

[vonfritz]

did you specify the indices corresponding to the weather condition in the image list?

[edemir206]

This is how I did (the image files exists):

Questions: How many imagens should I place ? Is index 3 file name correct "!w3,7,8,9,10,11,12,19,21,22,23,24,25,42,301.png" I should use ?

[vonfritz]

as a reference take the attached table to make you understand You can not put the rain icon with the Zero index but there must be the sun. then I think that with about twenty icons you can cover the main states.

[mrivar]

do these indexes correspond to Mi Band 9 as well? Trying to make some weather icons work atm but there seems to be some issue (I think i might have used too many indexes - i'm using 43, found by reverse engineering one of the official watchfaces - or the wrong ones 😅)

[edemir206]

What do you mean by ? "You can not put the rain icon with the Zero index but there must be the sun." I'm using the correct image here

This

[vonfritz]

it was just an example to make you understand that you have to match the correct images that correspond to the different weather conditions
for everything to work properly of course the weather must be enabled in the Mi fitness app which must communicate with the watch. If there is no communication the weather will not work.

Tested to export the same project to easyface, in easyface it works.

[vonfritz]

So I'll start by saying I don't use Windows. I took your project without modifying it and compiled it with various versions of the compiler to see if there was a difference using Linux and the latest version of Mi-Create from github. The new version of Mi-Create is able to generate a preview of the project which is this one.

Then in the output folder there were 2 files already compiled which I uploaded to my band 8 to see.....this is edemir-custom.face compiled by you.

It was probably a test you did, I can't explain all those mistakes......
I tried to compile the project with 3 different compilers and the result was the same. the file was always 40k bigger than the one you compiled.
this is the result:

I don't know what to tell you. Maybe try again when the new version is released.

[vonfritz]

Just curios :)
Why do you name a image file : '!w3,7,8,9,10,11,12,19,21,22,23,24,25,42,301.png' in this way?
makes no sense to me and there is no need to duplicate numbers, do not use spaces in names.

[edemir206]

Simply because of this image, I tried exacly the example

[vonfritz]

Yes you are right, I had forgotten about it even though I translated that stuff a while ago without paying much attention. I prefer the "traditional" method that allows me to export correctly and I am sure that everything works regularly. If you have the opportunity, get a mi band 9 which is much less limited than the 8.
