i dunno; tbh the line down the middle of the number just doesn't look ... 
right. 

right now it's a 3 pixel column of dark grey, background grey, light grey. i 
think tightening it up to just 2 pixels would help; not sure which of the 
three greys to drop, perhaps the background grey? or maybe the top dark grey?

also, i don't like how the background has sharp corners, or how the top/bottom 
margins are different from the side margins. a bit more symmetry and some 
roundedness would rock. as would a subtle gradient on the grey background so 
it doesn't look like a big hunk of grey.

in fact, i almost wonder if that background hunmk of grey is even needed and 
if it couldn't just render onto whatever the background of the applet is; 
this will suck for white backgrounds, though; perhaps a grey stroke could be 
added around the numbers to solve that case?

anyways ... just my own aesthetic impressions.
