Fenix 8 Data Dash - Changelog

• Common issues after last big update:
• Text is off center or moved down: In the settings, edit the "Time X offset" and "Time Y offset". Set them both to 50 to center the time while using the "Play Medium" font. System and vector fonts might need slightly different numbers.
• Time is too small: Set the font to "Play Medium" or set the time font size to something higher
• IQ error: Restart the watch.
• Time showing as icons: Restart the watch.
• Added OWM PM2.5 PM10 and CO2
• Moved 2 fields slightly to the sides when using bottom graph and two fields on top
• Fixed AOD label field. It was not showing data when something other than an icon was selected
• Fixed issue with overlap on bottom and top fields.

• Fixed 0 as label when selecting "Nothing"
• Fixed field overlap/cutoff issues

• Fixed default background on Amoled
• Fixed missing header in Fonts (Thanks Jia!!)
• Fixed Mips default theme (removed the background image) and added the theme with BG to the end of the themelist.
• Fixed notification icon for notifications field. Now it stays on. If you want to the previous behavior, select "Notificataion icon" as the icon instead of "Icon"
• Fixed some translation errors. Thank you Jia and Heidi!
• Fixed Center fields. If they are too wide to fit, they wont be cut off anymore. This way you can have a full date in the center field if space allows

-

• Big optimisations.
• Touch functions! Enable "Enable Touch" in the settings to get it to work again. Note that this is (and always was) a pro function, but before last update it was stuck to being always on. Press "Contact developer" and put "PRO KEY" in your email, and I'll send you one right away (when I'm at my desk) no questions asked, so you can keep using touch.
• Automatically enable touch when activating pro
• Garmin weather high/low removed H and L, so it shows "70/60" instead of "H 70 / L 60" what didn't really fit in most fields.

• Fixed the touch enabled switch not working. If your touch doesnt work now, make sure the "Touch enabled" switch is on in your settings :-) Note that this is (ans always was) a PRO field. Shoot me an email if you want a free PRO key to keep using this feature.
• Re-exported the Play font. Especially the outlined font is a lot crispier now. This change can cause your time to be 3-6px lower when no using the Play font, you can change the position in the settings

• Fixed solar fields missing for solar devices
• Optimized complication support
• Open weather now get data in your language

• BIG update. NOTE: This update might break your time offset
• Lots of optimisations
• Full language support
• Removed complications that don't exist from list, based on device
• Stress chart/graph now is from 0-100 instead of relative
• Flashlight fix (if you still experience lag, enable "flashlight fix" in the settings. Garmin has an actual fix lined up for this in their beta software)

Fix for crash on first day of the month with Monthly data selected

• Fix for monthly/daily/weekly bike/run/swim etc data

• Added status icons as option for label (use "empty" as datafield if you just want the icons) Note that this doesnt work well with horizontal fields.
• Added Progress for sunrise/set and all other sunevents (sunevent 12h, others 24h)
• Changed sunevent icon to the next event
• Rounded steps now round starting from 1000, so 1500 is 1.5k
