    Nice look, but I’d make the digits mono-spaced; it looks like the LED’s are changing position which is a tell-tale sign it’s faked.

      Interesting comment. But I don’t quite understand what you mean. Could you please explain a bit more on making the digits mono-spaced and how to fix the LED’s from changing position.

      Cheers.
