  Nice!

  I just noticed an issue with Swiper Clock Launch: I can navigate from Clock to Launcher but Launcher to Clock does not work anymore. I already did a settings rewrite. No errors in the console.

  btw slope clock is really cool!

• [ClockFace + Layout] Custom clock: battery drain

  Thanks, I can try it but I'm not sure about it: without the renderTopBar() method the battery lasts at least 10 days. Now it lasts 2/3 days :-(

  I have no widgets installed: only alarms, messages & android app.

  I updated the renderTopBar() method to draw the "widgets" only if its value has been changed but there's something wrong. Last night battery drop from 70% to 30% :-(

  let prevLocked = undefined;
  let prevConnected = undefined;
  
  function renderTopBar() {
      const itemW = 10;
      const itemH = 2;
  
      let locked = Bangle.isLocked();
      if (locked != prevLocked) {
        const lockColor = locked ? g.theme.fg : g.theme.bg;
        g.setColor(lockColor).fillRect(0, 0, itemW, itemH).setColor(g.theme.fg);
        prevLocked = locked;
      }
  
      let connected = NRF.getSecurityStatus().connected;
      if (connected != prevConnected) {
        const bluetoothColor = connected ? (g.theme.dark ? "#0ff" : "#00f") : (g.theme.dark ? "#666" : "#999");
        g.setColor(bluetoothColor).fillRect(itemW + 1, 0, 1 + itemW * 2, itemH).setColor(g.theme.fg);
        prevConnected = connected;
      }
  }
  
  Bangle.on("lock", b => {
      renderTopBar();
  });
  NRF.on("connect", () => {
      renderTopBar();
  });
  NRF.on("disconnect", () => {
      renderTopBar();
  });
  

  Am I missing anything else?

  Not sure if ClockFace and Layout libs do that automatically because I'm currently not using them, but are you drawing the screen every minute or so?

  Yes, I configured Clockface with a "precision" of 60 seconds.

  If you draw the screen every cycle, it may be the reason.

  Damn, I didn't notice I forgot to redraw my topbar only if something changed .-. I'll fix asap!

  Thanks!

  Hello!

  Lately I have little free time but I am trying to work on my own clock using ClockFace and Layout libs.

  My goals are:

  • fullscreen (no widgets)
    
  • only show date + time + steps
    
  • custom "widgets" in the top bar
    
  • battery status in the bottom bar
    
    

  After I added the top bar I noticed a HUGE battery drain (30-40% per day!) but I don't undestand why.
  What's wrong with my code?

  The code is in my fork: https://github.com/alessandrococco/BangleApps/blob/poc-my-clock/apps/patclock/app.js

  Thank you! :-)

  I recently bought a cheap nylon strap https://www.amazon.it/dp/B09Q62CLXV

  It's more comfortable than the silicone one.
