Adapt Text to WearOS Circular Screen with Android Compose

Question

I'm using Android Compose to develop a wearOS app. On my pixel watch, which have a rounded screen, I don't succeed in displaying the text correctly without it to be cropped.

My code is the following :

Scaffold {
        Column(
            modifier = modifier
                .fillMaxSize()
                .padding(vertical = Dimensions.xsPadding),
            horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally,
            verticalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceBetween
        ) {
                Text(
                    game.game_name,
                    style = MaterialTheme.typography.body1.copy(
                        fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,
                    ),
                    textAlign = TextAlign.Center,
                    maxLines = 2,
                    overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis,
                    modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = Dimensions.xsPadding),
                )
                .......
       }
}

And here is the result of what I have with a long text :

You could apply the fillMaxRectangle modifier from Horologist to your Column:

        Column(
            modifier = modifier
                .fillMaxRectangle()
            ...
        ) {
                ...
       }

Thanks, that work :) But it loses too much space for me. I wanted more something adapting the rounded screen rather then using square in a circle
