I'm back now (and yes, it was awesome :P).

As to the original topic, it's probably not the emboss that makes it visually 
inconsistent, but the slight translucency on the time that does. That 
translucency will be applied to the date again, and the issue should be gone.

I'll commit this within the next days, it's an easy change, but I'm still at 
the "catching up with email" phase. :)
