Helios (Sundial)
· v1.5.11
About
Sometimes we need to be reminded about just how far we have come. This minimalistic design captures that essence. Just the basics. (Things were real simple back then).
# Features
* Equatorial sundial
* True night time emulation or fake shadow for night time hours
* Full or partial 24 hour scale
* Night time from sunset to sunrise optionally indicated by grey shaded region (when GPS location available).
* Anti-aliased graphics (if supported by watch model)
* Burn-in safe, full screen, always on display for AMOLED screens
# Full Version Features
* Daylight savings adjustment
* Settable dial colors
* Horizontal northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere sundial option (Uses GPS position or manual latitude position setting). Negative latitude position displays southern hemisphere south facing dial
* Optional correction for true solar noon (adjusts time scale so that solar noon is at the vertical 12 o'clock position)
* Optional 10 minute gradation marks
* Optional date of the month display
* Optional hand indicator style
NOTE: For an equatorial sundial (equal hour spacing), set the "Use GPS location" setting to off, and set "Manual latitude position" to zero. A horizontal sundial has a non-linear time scale dependent upon latitude position
