Big improvements for every Pebble in this update, plus a brand-new Modern UI experience for Pebble Time 2 & Round 2 - all in one unified Music Boss app (renamed from "Music Boss Classic").
🖼️ New persistent 1-bit preview image
• Album art now shows an instant themed placeholder the moment the app opens, instead of a blank screen.
🎨 New 4-bit colour art fallback
• When an image is too large, the watch automatically requests a lower-colour version so album art still appears reliably.
🎚️ New album-art Image Quality control
• Choose the colour depth (Auto, 1-bit, 4-bit, or 8-bit) to balance detail and speed, plus a custom colour theme to tint 1-bit black-and-white art.
⬛️ New art darkening option
• Darken album art (10%, 20%, and more) for better text contrast over busy covers.
⚙️ Redesigned phone settings
• A single, modernized, tabbed settings page, with the available options tailored to your watch.
🔙 New double-back menu hint
• A quick on-screen teach shows you that double-pressing BACK opens the Music Boss menu.
🎸 More reliable watch-app launching with the Core Devices app
• Auto-launch when music starts, and launching from within the app, now work consistently.
👀 New unlock / ongoing-support perk
• Install and customize the 🆕 Music Boss watch face preset in Face Boss - open the side navigation drawer in the phone app to see the info card.
New for Pebble Time 2 & Round 2
🆕 A brand-new Modern UI
• One unified app with Retro+, Classic, and Time layouts all in one place, full touch controls (tap, plus seek and volume overlays), and assignable Quick Actions.
• Music Boss Time is being wound down on these watches — its Time layout now lives right here. No rush: you can keep using the Time app for as long as you like, and move over whenever you're ready.
👋 Wrist-flick gestures
• Assign an action to a forward or backward flick of your wrist - play/pause, volume, rating and more - with adjustable sensitivity and single, double, or triple-flick activation.
🎨 Fully customizable layouts
• Per-element fonts, colours, sizes, album-art modes, drop shadow, and progress ring - plus one-tap Layout Presets (browse ready-made looks or save your own).
• Optional per-element solid text background - a dominant-colour plate behind text for better contrast over album art.
🕰️ New BIG clock fonts
• 9 large display fonts for the Classic & Time layout clocks.
🔒 New Persistent / Quick touch-screen lock
• Double-press the back button in the watch app.
