Thank you so much, I'm flattered and happy you found it interesting and you're right, there's nothing very difficult happening here. Coming up with an idea is difficult, but in this case it was more like 'came up with an idea but it didn't work so then resorted to playing around', which is so not my preferred method :p every failure to execute one of my ideas feels pretty awful tbh.

That's a really clever way to get a good background color to cut against, thanks for sharing the tip! :)
