Just a note to say in the 'Cutting edge' builds (2v15.47 and later) I've made some pretty decent improvements to graphics.
- A clear screen command has gone down from 24ms to 2ms
- The Bangle can now send data to the LCD in the background,so it can be executing JS while the screen is updating
Hopefully this won't introduce any issues, but the effect on scrolling especially in the launcher is pretty big!

Wow, got to check it out!

Very nice, scrolling is noticeably smoother. Is the background flip the new default or does this need to be enabled somehow?

It's the new default - there's no way of disabling it

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
