Vintage Aura — Retro VFD Large

Vintage Aura is a minimalist, lo-fi, retro digital watch face inspired by the warm glow of classic vacuum fluorescent displays. Every pixel earns its place — just the time, a quiet ring of dots tracking the seconds, and nothing fighting for your attention. Features: • Two classic color themes — warm Amber and signature Green (Pro unlocks the full palette) • Continuous seconds ring or single dot mode • Optional: hide the leading zero on the hour (9:42 instead of 09:42) • AOD-friendly with deep blacks • Settings in English, German and Spanish ────────── ⭐ VINTAGE AURA PRO — unlock more, one-time purchase from $2.99 Get your license key: https://buy.stripe.com/8x2eVcdMo2aW2T280hgbm02 IMPORTANT — after paying, check your SPAM folder. That is where the key lands. Pro just got its biggest update yet — a curated palette of hand-picked color themes, each one carefully tuned to that warm retro glow, so your watch shows exactly your personality (twelve on newer watches, five on older models). Pro also unlocks the two fields that frame the time — one above, one below, each yours to set. Twelve readings to pick from: Body Battery, Stress, Temperature, Distance and more. The battery now wears its own little segment icon, so a glance is enough. Every future update is included in your one-time purchase, too. To activate Pro, just follow the Installation guide at the end of this description. ────────── About the design: Inspired by Soviet-era vacuum fluorescent displays — the same warm glow that lit up old calculators, hi-fi systems, and car dashboards through the '70s and '80s. Their amber and green came from phosphor panels lit by tiny electron beams. Back when digital clocks felt like the future. Built with you Vintage Aura grows one request at a time.

1.7.0 — the fields grow up. Six new readings join Pro: Body Battery, Stress, Temperature, Distance, Floors and Notifications. Twelve in all, above and below the time, each set on its own. The numbers now say what they are. Distance carries its kilometres or miles, temperature its degrees — a field reads on its own, with nothing to remember. The battery now wears a little segment icon — a glance is enough, and a full charge closes the frame. On the largest layout the side fields were given room: the date sits nearer its number and clear of the edge, and no weekday crowds the seconds ring any more. And the digits got truer. Every theme keeps the warm white core of the original vacuum fluorescent artwork instead of flattening it into a single tone. Green is now pixel-for-pixel the original. The settings screen learned German and Spanish. More coming, one request at a time. ---- 1.5.1 — our biggest update yet. The palette grows. Pro now unlocks a full set of hand-picked color themes — twelve on newer watches, five on older models — so your watch shows exactly your personality. The free version keeps the two originals, Amber and Green. More coming, one request at a time. ---- 1.4.0 - Introduces Ecran Pro: unlock two configurable complications — date, battery, heart rate, steps, calories, or active minutes — above and below the time, activated with a license key in Settings. ---- 1.3.2 - Adds rectangular AMOLED support for Venu Sq 2, Venu Sq 2 Music, and Venu X1 — the seconds ring traces a rounded-rectangle perimeter that matches the physical glass curvature instead of a smaller inscribed circle. Also adds the Fenix 5 family (5 / 5S / 5X plus Plus variants and Fenix Chronos), vívoactive 4S, and Legacy Hero "Captain Marvel" / Legacy Saga "Rey" editions. ---- 1.3.1 - Major device expansion: adds the entire Fenix 6 family (6 / 6S / 6X plus Pro variants), MARQ (all 8 variants), Forerunner 55 / 245 / 255 / 645 / 745 / 935 / 945 / 955, vívoactive 3 / 4, Venu original, Enduro / Enduro 3, Descent Mk1 / Mk2, D2 Delta family, and Legacy Hero "First Avenger" / Legacy Saga "Darth Vader" editions. Improvement: lazy bitmap loading reduces memory footprint, fixing OOM crashes on older watches. ---- 1.3.0 - Now compatible with Fenix 7 / 7 Pro / 7S / 7X (all variants) and Fenix 8 Solar. Fixes: improved layout proportions on smaller screens, seconds ring now visible on Venu 2S and Forerunner 265S. ---- 1.2.0 - Major device expansion: now supports 40+ AMOLED watches, including Venu 2/3/4, Fenix 8/E, Forerunner 165/170/265/570/965/970, Vivoactive 5/6, MARQ 2, Instinct 3 AMOLED, D2 Mach 1/2, Approach S50/S70, and Descent G2/Mk3.
