Adapt time position in ambient mode about pixelwatchface HOT 12 CLOSED

When you mean only the time, can you clarify the cases a bit?

For example, if battery percent is shown in ambient should the time be centered still?

Thanks for making this issue

@davwheat the only reason it isn't is because I feel like it cramps up the screen when the battery percentage is enabled. If that isn't as much a problem for people I think what I might do is center the time always, but move it up when displaying an at a glance style next event widget underneath the time (future planned feature). I could provide an option for this but there are so many settings already I'm trying to simplify that. Not sure, will need some more opinions and testing

This picture that illustrates my point I think. It is ambient mode. And in my setup, logo, battery, date/weather in ambient mode are off

I see what you mean. I'm a bit worried about having a different position of the time in ambient vs not (since the info bar is below it in live mode). Would you think the time should be centered then as well and just pin the infobar under it?

I'm thinking if the user chooses to not show infobar in ambient, the time will center itself on the watch, otherwise it will behave as it already does

I agree. It has a better effect when going from a mode the other. The time should be at the same position in both modes.

I am okay with that too.

By the way, it is awesome to ask for our opinion. You are making a great work on this app!!

right, sounds good then. Thanks for the clarification. Love hearing from the users to make sure I can make this the best app for us all to use :)

@davwheat I'm going to completely redesign the phone app shortly. The rough idea I have is give the user 3 preset "config" of settings that they can pick through with an easy preview of all 3 initially. Then they can customize that however they choose with all the existing settings (sorted in to categories)

2a01c41 implements this, although the position of the time will change between ambient and not. I will be testing this in beta at some point before a wider release to listen for complaints. Not rolling out to the Play Store yet.
