Complete N00b question - Moto 360

I am brand-new to this, as I just got a Moto 360 (1st gen.) for Christmas. I was trying to make a watch face from a design. I had isolated the parts of the design i wanted for the hour hand and minute hand. However, every time i try to create the watchface in Watchmaker, the hour/minute hands have a white background. In other words, i cannot figure out how to create the design for the hands with a transparent background.
The main restriction i have is that i am only working on this through my work laptop, and i don't really have access to install new programs (i.e., paint.net, etc.). I have MS Paint, or any other program that is normally pre-installed.
Can anyone give any advice? OR... i could easily email the design parts to someone and have them build it for me. But i would like to know how to do this as well.
Thanks to all! Again, sorry for such a newb question.

2 smartphone questions

So Ive switched to a smartphone for various reasons from the wizard, and Im trying to at least get a couple things I was quite fond of into my excalibur.
First, I would love to see my contacts first name, last name. I noticed a few people raised the question, but I have yet to see a solution. Any help with this would be great.
Second, and infinitely more important, I desperately need a way to run some palm software (http://www.davideubank.com/ , important calculation charts for on set movie stuff) on the phone. I was using style tap on the wizard, but it was a bit buggy. If anyone know of any way to run this stuff that would be amazing.
Thanks guys, keep rockin.

[REQ] Timetable program that's finger friendly

Hi guys,
Unfortunately it's that time of the year again where students go back to their universities and begin the process of temporarily absorbing material so that they can pass exams in order to get a piece of paper (Certificate) =P.
I have been looking for a program that will list all of my lectures/tutorials in a way that will integrate with TF3D, but unfortunately, most of the programs do more than I need and don't really look nice. I don't want to use the Home Screen for this because it would be too cluttered, and I don't want to use the Calendar for this because I want to reserve this for important/once-off events.
I am wondering if anybody would be willing to make me/teach me how to make a program that will simply list all of my lectures/tutorials for the day? Ideally it will be accessed through an additional tab in TF3D (using Singh's 15 tabs? or something else?). I am thinking that the list will give the subject name/title, location and time details. There is no need for things like assignments, due dates, etc, as this can be done through Calendar. Preferably this program will also be finger-friendly!
Is there something I can use to program it myself (I have basically no programming experience)? Or is someone able/willing to help me? I am willing to help out with the interface.
I think that this may be a relatively simple program to write, but I have no idea how to do it. Or is there something out there that does this already? I have searched the forums for "timetable", and also Google for "timetable windows mobile app", but nothing seems to suit.
Thanks guys!
Okay, by the number of views on this thread, I can probably guess that this is something that people are interested in...
...but nobody seems to know how/interested in doing it =S.
I am also thinking that this can be expanded into other uses, say, a To-Do list that's available at a glance, or a shopping list. I think it would be look best if it looked like the other TF3D tabs, both icon-wise as well as the theme wise (ie: see-through/big entries/smooth scrolling).
If anyone is willing to point me in the direction of how to make an app like this, I am more than willing to give it a shot. I only have a basic understanding of Visual Basic (from high school, lol ). But I can give it a shot.
Can someone point me in the direction of how to make this app? Or better yet, do it for me?
My bad about the double-post, but nobody seems to want to post!

[Q] Split out all day events from meetings?

Hi all,
Another question from the new guy. But first, I have to say that this app is amazing and is FINALLY letting me get exactly what I want on my phones home screen. So THANK YOU to everyone involved for that. Now, if I can just fumble my way through some more rich text...
My question this time is about all day events and splitting them out from the rest of my calendar for a given day. I work in a large department who use all day events to notify people when they are out of office. It works well in outlook (as long as people remember to set the "set time as free" option) to notify everyone when they will be OOO.
That said, on my widget, I want to group all the titles of all day events (with no extra info like start time, etc.) into one block of text. i.e. Manny OOO, Moe on Vaction, Jack on business travel. Then, in another list, i want to list out my actual appointments for the day.
I'm at a loss for where to even begin here? I've been toying with $#C0D#=1?#C0Shh\:mm#$ that I found online to try to skip to the first "real" appointment? But that just keeps returning blanks? It also feels like it has something to do with #C1D# but no idea how to properly use that either? Being an absolute noob at this stuff i am trying my best to hunt online and find answers, but its really challenging. Any help pointing me in the right direction is GREATLY appreciated.

(req) can someone create this watch plz

can someone plz create this watch ?
thnx in advance
i like it
BUT
like many watchfaces i seen like this, which i loved and downloaded... once installed on the 360 it makes the screen so clustered to me that it makes telling time hard
i have had so many that looked good in pics, but not installed
guys anyone is willing to create this face?
creating the face is relatively painless. recreating those assets for such a complex face would be a nightmare. If you can provide several high resolution front facing images where it would be easy to photoshop out each hand, background, etc. then you're more likely to get a volunteer to take that and make you the face. but the sheer amount of photoshop work required for that face without you providing the images is probably scaring off anyone who would volunteer (myself included).
It will be very hard to make it in photoshop

Aviation Heads Up Display (HUD)

Hey guys! I was paging through the forums and had what could be an awesome idea. I'm by no means a aerospace engineer nor a computer scientist, but I was trying to figure out how hard it would be to take a standalone Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) system like the iLevil 3 Sport, and display it on something like the EPSON BT-300. Im sure it would have to be a simplified display, but in theory couldn't we get something like a fighter jet HUD directly in front of your face?!
The reason I have chosen these two pieces of hardware (iLevil 3 Sport and EPSON BT-300) is to try and simplify the problem at hand. Through programs like ixGyro, AHRS Utility by iLevil, and Xavion, to name a few (all of which are compatible with the iLevel, and available to download directly to any Android system), you already have all of the information in tablet form.
The AHRS device has all of the hardware required and outputs the information via WiFi. These programs have already proven that this information can be successfully displayed. It seems as through that the only problem now is the GUI. I don't have either of these two products so I can't say for certain, but I'm willing to bet that the BT-300, running Android 5.1, can display this information almost the exact same as on your phone or tablet! I propose that we simply delete the background so you have a true augmented reality while you fly!
