Albedo

Albedo is a faithful homage to the classic unlit-LCD look of stock Instinct watch faces. The hero time is drawn digit by digit as a real 7-segment display - every unlit segment still shows as a faint dithered ghost, the way a real transflective LCD panel looks in daylight, not just a blank gap. The whole screen sits on a dot-dither canvas, the same texture a powered-down LCD segment shows. Around the hero time, 7 complication slots are independently configurable from a 14-metric registry: battery percent, battery days remaining, heart rate, steps, calories, floors, active minutes, Body Battery, solar intensity, temperature, sunrise, sunset, date, and weekday + day. Six slots sit in the reference layout's icon-and-value positions; the seventh is the Instinct's own round subscreen, shown as a numeral disc. Seconds are optional and yours to control: Auto (live while the display is awake, ghosted at rest), Off (a permanently ghosted seconds cell), or Always On. Time format is System, 12-hour, or 24-hour. Every element is native Monkey C rendering - procedural 7-segment digits and dithered ghosting, no bitmap fonts, no alpha bitmaps, no anti-aliasing. That is a deliberate choice for the Instinct's transflective MIP panel, which renders 1-bit ink with no blur and no partial coverage. Albedo redraws once per minute outside of the seconds cell, which is the one deliberate exception to a no-animation design: turning seconds on trades a small amount of battery life for a live display, exactly like enabling seconds on any stock Garmin face. No battery-neutral or efficiency claim is made for this release. Albedo is built exclusively for the Instinct 3 Solar (45mm and 50mm) and Instinct E (45mm) semi-octagon mono-MIP displays.

Added support for Instinct E 40mm. New Display Mode setting (Authentic / Clean) to turn off the unlit-segment LCD ghosting and read a bolder subscreen numeral. New Theme setting (Normal / Inverted) for a light-on-dark alternative look.
