Sync images and color styles under a single setting

[FFFFFF]

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 @resource for <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?
