· v0.99.95
About
***** If you like my work and think hundreds of hours spent in development deserves a donation i' ll be happy to accept a beer, shot of whiskey or sea side vacation :) here: https://paypal.me/TDrahovzal , Revolut https://revolut.me/tomaszr3r or you can send crypto currency to the wallet: bc1qm55exls596wn6c9mr0qsngwq9ur7ccacm6tf0e
Thank you in advance.
**** Be aware, this is a Beta release still under development. Updates, due to completely changed internal structure, may require you to completely uninstall old version and install new one including configuring all your settings from the scratch from time to time.
*** IMPORTANT: Always include your email if you are contacting me using Contact Developer form. Without it i cannot contact you back as form will come with [email protected] as a sender address.
Idea behind this watch face is, that the best one is the one build exactly as you want. Therefore all visible data types, its placement, fonts, colors etc. can be configured independently to your liking.
This is a public Beta release as a new reworked version of original Digital for TactixD watchface. Although all works fine on mine watch i am not able to test thousands of combinations possible with this face myself. Please report all issues in forum https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/222411/watchface-digital-for-tactixd or using contact developer form before rating it low . Always include your email address when form is used, without it i have no way how to reach out back to you.
- In order to save memory some features (icons, custom gauge/bar etc.) were disabled and will be published after beta testing phase finishes
- Positioning settings have been modified comparing to the Version1. Single Integer number is used for X,Y coordinates in format XXXYYY instead. Meaning when your [X,Y]=[10,115] it corresponds to 10115, [55,70] to 55070, [140,140] to 140140 etc.
- Update to the latest official watch firmware, some features will not work with the old ones
Q&A:
Why there are so many settings available? It is hard to navigate through them.
Sending watch face user defined parameters such as color, font and screen placement through the app settings is the only available option in Garmin CIQ at this moment. Amount of settings is a fee for having all objects fully configurable by the user.
Sunset/Sunrise times are not correct, what to do ?
Get valid GPS fix or configure your preferred location in settings. Default settings point to Central Europe. Go to the forum for more details.
Digic watch uses face builder, is it planned as well ?
No. Idea behind this face is to be fully configurable from phone or watch (once Garmin will support it) without need to use builder app or web interface.
Why are my settings changes not reflected on Watch Face ?
It seems this issue is tied to Garmin CIQ Store app which is not able handle huge amount of settings correctly. Some users reported following workaround as working fine:
1.) switch to different watchface (eg. garmin default one)
2.) change settings of Digital for TactixD
3.) switch back to Digital fortactixD face
Why is my language not supported i see only squares instead of characters ?
During short life time of this face 26 custom fonts have been already requested and implemented. Fonts consume a lot of available resources, therefore characters are limited to the absolute minimum = English characters and numbers only. Languages with 'special' characters such as czech, russian, japanese etc. cannot be supported until more resources will be available to watchfaces.

! IMPORTANT !: Too many changes under the hood. New release is not compatible with old settings. You will need to uninstall older face and install new one in case update causes crash on your watch. Yes, it means you will need to configure them from the scratch. Make sure you have notes of your current settings !

- Added leading zero option to Sun events
- Added support for few more watches
0.99.22
*** Due to the modified label/icon settings structure. This version will require you to uninstall and install watchface again. There is a potential workaround when you need to go thru your settings and set all visible fields header (no label, label, icon selection) values again - works in Garmin Mobile, does not seem to work using Garmin CIQ (ask Garmin why).
Without this step your labels/icons will disappear from the face.
- Corrected too big y-offset for Clock33x33 font
- Introducing and testing "Menu like" setting style which will allow me to have multiple settings under single property (Amount of properties if very memory hungry and slows down the face as well, i am hoping to further decrease properties count and improve performance using this menu style in the future). Example in forum
- Added Active Calories (using menu style settings) to Calories options. Garmin does not provide this value, it is calculated as your Calories reported by watch minus current resting Calories using your BMR (Mifflin-St.Jeor) which is based on your gender, weight and age.
- Added current Zodiac sign option
