Sync images and color styles under a single setting #1236
Description
Hello everyone,
Thank you to all who keep the repository running and who are helping find the answers.
Could someone suggest solutions for the following cases:
- Set a color for elements in
<ComplicationSlot/>depending on the selected item in<ListConfiguration/>. The case: Set the color for<Font>and[COMPLICATION.MONOCHROMATIC_IMAGE]depending on the background image. - Set the
@resource(change the image) for<HourHand>,<MinuteHand/>,<Image/>based on the selected<ListConfiguration/>. The case: Change the image depending on the background image. - Set the
@resourcefor<Image/>,<HourHand>,<MinuteHand/>based on the selected<ColorConfiguration/>. The case: Change the image depending on the selected color style.
<ListConfiguration/> and <ColorConfiguration/> complements each other, but I haven't found them collaborating at 100%. Imagine you want to change the color (or/and shape) for analog hands (or any other images) after the background image has been changed by a user in the watch settings. Controlling the theme elements through the single setting in the menu seems impossible. You need to create two or more settings. A user could not know the relations between all settings. And the change could not be worth a separate setting in the menu (while imperfect from the visual point of view).
A quick solution might be checking attributes in [CONFIGURATION.themeColor.<some attr>]. I can not find the documentation for the object.
The long-run solution is to configure variables as an element (<VarableConfiguration/>) and use it "down the road" in elements and attributes as [CONFIGURATION.VarableConfiguration.variable1].
Could someone involved in the project underline the cons and pros of the suggested?
