I was hoping the "missing object behind the conch shell" fix would be what you corrected. Otherwise, I was about to ask about it. Looks much better.
The new fading is better, too, in my opinion, although the other way wasn't overly objectionable. This seems to be transitioning a bit smoother, too, but that may just be an illusion.
No problem here with the digital clock/calendar color changing. I suspect once "etched" it will really look "most excellent" in the crystal.
Second hand on/off does what it says.
Lookin' good.
