How do I create a custom chargebar / powerbar icon?

Hi all,

I started playing with WatchFace Designer the other day and managed to create a simple working watchface, but now I would like to add in a ‘bar’ style icon that shows the charge level / power level of the watch. I could simply add in the number version that WFD has built in, but I’d like to add some coloured bars to show the same information visually as well. I’ve created the assets themselves, and have tried a few things that didn’t seem to work, so now I find myself needing a helping hand.

Does anyone have a nice easy set of steps I could follow?

Many thanks,
Gleth

SO, to answer my own question, sort-of, I ended up using ClockSkinMaker instead, creating a cut-out in the watch face behind which I added a rotating battery, with the image being a half-circle rainbow, with each ‘bar’ of the bow stopping 30 degrees earlier than the last to give a six-bar-like display . . . I think it looks ok, but I’m sure there are better ways out there. :slight_smile:
