I'm super excited you want to design a custom gauge face! Let's get you started on your journey here.

Overview

Custom gauge faces are made up of two images. A gauge face background and a needle. Both of these images are 240px × 240px. The needle file will be rotated to point to the correct tick mark.

Gauge Face

The gauge face can be any design you want! Consider legibility and make the numbers and needle high contrast compared to the background color.

To get the tick marks to line up to the right position you can use this png of tick marks as a base or as the tick marks you use in your design. If you want to create your own tick marks you can start with 0 degrees fahrenheit at the 6 o'clock mark and rotate the rest of the tick marks by 7.68 degrees.

Needle

You need to design the needle to start pointing straight down. If you don't design it pointing straight down it will make your gauge inaccurate. With the needle file any pixel that is pure black (Hex code #000000) will be turned into a transparent pixel and show what is behind it in the gauge face. If you want to use pure black in your design I suggest changing your pure black color to something that is imperceptibly lighter.
