I apologize from going off topic as it was not so off topic but a suggestion. If all is straightened out then that's fine.

I don't have any suggestions for the look and feel of the board as that's a personal opinion that most would not like. As long as the boards funtion well and are not so inundated with too much flashing this and that, things work as expected and no long refresh times then I'm happy!

All the best and good luck!
