PET watchface V0.44 (Extra Code Enabled!)

+Faster updates on battery level. (Live updates)
 +New 'charging' indicator. 
+uses less cpu power, and a little less battery. 

known bugs: 
-'bt disconnected ' visual indicator is still broken (same with 0.43)
By implementing 'live updates' the battery level is only checked/updated whenever the level actually changes! before I'd only have it check ever 30 seconds, this was slow, and  forced a check even if the battery was exactly the same!

The new 'Live update' system will only be triggered when the battery level actually changes!
and it should display the new level within a few seconds.

also a visual "---" will show up when the watch is charging.

As for the bug, turns out that happened in 0.43, but I have yet to track down the cause,
it's possible that I've run out of image memory, and the HP box/battery display is now using up the memory that used to have the 'disconnected' overlay that showed up in the older version:

rest in peace, maybe we will meet again one day!

in case you missed it!

just some quick news, a small update to the megaman watch face was pushed out.
(v 0.42)
and now the battery meter now be red if your HP/ battery level is 20% or even 10%, and the color change should be a bit more consistent.
Also, the timing on the clock time change animation has been tweaked a little bit, (let me know what you think of the old vs the new)

Coming up:
+Code cleanup
+add special 'charging status' for the hp/battery box

Eventually: (navi engine 3)
+Add a config page so you can turn elements on/off
+Release source code
+Navi builder tutorial.
