In this&nbsp;thread, I'm happy to introduce my clock face called minicus and describe it's functionality and share future plans.&nbsp;<span>I would like to turn this thread to a place, where I can stay in touch with users of minicus, provide them application support and answering clock face's related&nbsp;questions. </span><span>What is most important, is getting feedback&nbsp;about fixes and improvements that users would like to see in the next versions.</span> Here I will post change logs and information about new features for each new release. It's worth to subscribe if you are interested in it.</p>
<p><br>First of all one small explanation about so odd name - <em>minicus.</em>&nbsp;I wanted to make a <em>mini</em>mal user clock face (from a user interface perspective) but highly <em>cus</em>tomizable (from a user experience&nbsp;perspective) Basically this is an acronym. Alright, by knowing the history now we can check how that worked out!<br><br>Here is the short list of the features:</p>
<ul>
<li>🎨 Pre-defined color themes</li>
<li>🌞 Weather forecast (from https://openweathermap.org)</li>
<li>💓 Heart rate (1 min averaged rate)</li>
<li>🔋 Battery charge level</li>
<li>⌚ Localized date (day name, day and month) + 24/12h format based on your profile settings</li>
<li>🚶 Amount of steps that you've walked during the day</li>
<li>🍔 Amount of calories that you've burned during the day</li>
<li>🌍 Amount of meters that you've walked during the day</li>
</ul>
<p>minicus uses your profile localization settings to display date and time format for your locale. Supported locales for version 0.20 are (English, Français, Deutch, Español,&nbsp;Italiano, 日本語, 한국어/韓國語, 简化字,&nbsp;漢語) Displaying time and date is the core minimum information of the clock face to display. Nevertheless, by default, minicus is pre-configured to display additional information in so-called <em>smart corners</em>. This is the configurable part of it. You can hide and show any of them as well as re-assign different source of information to display. These adjustments and settings such as theme can be made from clock face's Settings on your phone. There is a short video in the official site <a title="how to change &quot;smart corner&quot; settings" href="https://minicus.now.sh#help" rel="noopener">https://minicus.now.sh#help</a> that demonstrates how it can be achieved.</p>
<p><br>minicus - can display types of activities measurements such as amounts of burned calories, walked steps and distance. The weather forecast is updating once per 30 minutes in current implementation and it depends on your current location. That's the reason why during the initial clock face installation process you have to allow these capabilities (location and internet) in order to use the weather forecast feature.</p>
<p><br>Your gadget OS has a low battery notification by default, but you can look on your detailed battery level in percentage by choosing to display the battery</p>
<p><br>What are the future plans:</p>
<ul>
<li>Currently, I have a few themes that highly contrast and therefore are accessible ( according&nbsp;to WCAG AAA standard ) but I also consider to add the possibility&nbsp;to add a custom image as a background but that might affect readability.</li>
<li>I'm using my own API key for&nbsp;openweathermap.org but in future, I'm going to add more providers and allow users to specify their own API keys when common one will not suffice. Also, adding more icons to reflect more various weather conditions.</li>
<li>For performance&nbsp;reasons, I show the one minute averaged rate as I&nbsp;described in the clock face page from App Galery. It's a room for improvements to make it a bit more useful and relevant to users expectations</li>
<li>I've seen that some people in the community forum is looking for clockfaces that are displaying the seconds.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Initially, I considered showing stock prices and/or cryptocurrency exchanges rates so if there will be a significant request from users I'll make this more prior.</li>
<li>The clock face is showing the spent amount of activity values. (burned calories&nbsp;etc) but it would be useful show amount to be spent as well as display percentage.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Localization of settings pages for different locales can be improved as well. If you noticed some mistakes in App Galery of cock face itself please&nbsp;feel free to address this in comments.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Natively Fitbit OS is showing the low battery level and charging battery level that might conflict with current icons and tex and it's the thing that will be considered in future releases.</li>
</ul>
