Required
★ MiBandWFTool (By lvpokka).Description
★ PaletteImageMode :⤳ Can be used if images having 5-10 colors.
⤳ Uses picture palette, in some cases could reduce pack weight.
⤳ Create file raw.cfg with content 1,4,2,5,66 (near .json) to force raw image mode for selected image IDs in raw.cfg.
⤳ Will compress images if it's not fitting in 254 color palette.
★ RawImageMode :
⤳ Can provide more quality for image.
⤳ Normally working with 32&16bit images, raw look. Can greatly increase the size of the build.
Tutorial
⤳ Download the tool (at the beginning of the thread) and unzip it.⤳ Open PaletteImageMode or RawImageMode folder (read Description to know difference between them).
⤳ Drag and drop Watchface file (filename.bin) on "WatchFace.exe" (Terminal will open and close).
⤳ A new folder will be created in folder than contain your Watchface file, it's the decompiled Watchface.
⤳ In the decompiled Watchface folder, edit all pictures you want. You can also edit the .json file, remove and add pictures, etc...
⤳ When you have finished, drag and drop the .json file on "WatchFace.exe" (Terminal Window will open and close).
⤳ Some new files will appear, a log file, one animated preview picture, one static preview picture and the most interesting, your packed Watchface (filename_packed.bin).
You can share your Watchfaces here : Watchfaces
