twatchbuilder-clockskin-converter

On the Internet there are several formats to build watch faces. One of them is the XML-based "ClockSkin" format used by various Android clocks. The sites "coolwatchfaces.com" and "clockskin.us" have several models in it.

This is a Python script to convert XML ClockSkin files into TWatchBuilder C ++ code.

Requirements

To run the script you need to install these modules:

• pip installation pillow
• pip install elementpath

Use

To use it you must follow these steps:

• Download a watch face with "ClockSkin" format.
• Modify the Python script to invoke the "process" function with these parameters:
  • The path of the ZIP file downloaded from the watch or the folder of the unzipped files
  • The unique prefix for the clock (to differentiate between projects)
  • A flag to indicate if the first image is used as a fixed or moving background (in most cases it should be "True")
  • Optional, a width for the clock (in most cases ignore it)
• Run the script

If all are successful, the script will generate a ZIP artifact called "xxxxx_twatchbuilder.zip". This file contains:

• "icon.png" file, the clock icon
• "twatch.cpp", the code of the watch
• "assets" folder, including all PNG images needed for the watch face

Create your Watch

Now, you can create a watch with this ZIP artifact in TWatchBuilder.com:

• First, create a new application on the site.
• Name the application and save it
• Upload the ZIP file and wait for it to complete
• Compile the watch
• Try it on your TWatch2020 watch

Good luck !!
