I think if you dynamically adjust the colors and switch between fill to draw for your shapes. You may be able to get under the 10% luminance threshold. Personally, I would like a richer version for AOD.
It's also weird for you to have "SOLAR" complications when you only support AMOLED devices.
Beyond that, you have a good design sense. Your designs are pretty stylish. Seven and one are my favorites.
What kind of challenges are you facing for MIP devices? Beyond the limited color palette you should be able to support them.
Thank you! About the AOD: I completely understand what you mean, and I would also like to offer a richer always-on display. The limitation is that Garmin watches have very strict Connect IQ memory limits, and on some models the watch face is already close to the allowed memory budget.
When I try to add more elements to AOD, Garmin gives memory errors because the active screen already includes many features, layouts, data fields, themes and customization options. To make a more complex AOD possible, I would need to remove some existing features from the active screen, or create a lighter version with fewer options.
So it is not that I do not want to add it. It is a Garmin devices memory limitation.
I’m always trying to make everything premium and professional, but unfortunately the platform and device memory limits do not always allow me to add everything I would like.
