Gratitude for your amazing project and suggested improvement

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for sharing this incredible project with the community. The amount of effort, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail you’ve invested in designing and building it is truly commendable. The documentation and design files you provided are thorough and immensely helpful.

As I was exploring and working with your project, I made a minor tweak to the YAML file to implement a feature where the colon blinks every second. I believe this small enhancement could add a bit of dynamism to the project. I wanted to submit a pull request to share this change with you, but it seems that permissions for doing so are currently restricted.

To ensure you can review my contribution, I’ve included the modified piece of code below for your reference:

// Blink colon pairs every second
if (seconds % 2 > 0)
{
  it[8].set(sign_color);   // Turn on first colon bottom
  it[27].set(sign_color);  // Turn on second colon bottom
} else {
  it[8].set(off_color);   // Turn off first colon bottom
  it[27].set(off_color);  // Turn off second colon bottom
}

And one variable declaration along with hours and minutes

int seconds = time.second;

Once again, thank you so much for your dedication and for generously sharing this project. It’s been a pleasure working with it, and I look forward to seeing how it evolves further!
