/* Main digit color */
.digit { color: #3182ce; }
/* Background gradient */
body { background: linear-gradient(135deg, #e8e4f3 0%, #f5f3ff 50%, #ffffff 100%); }
/* Card background */
.digit-card { background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9); }/* Faster animations */
.digit-card.changing { animation: digitChange 0.4s ease-in-out; }
.digit.changing { animation: numberFlip 0.4s ease-in-out; }
/* Slower animations */
.digit-card.changing { animation: digitChange 0.8s ease-in-out; }
.digit.changing { animation: numberFlip 0.8s ease-in-out; }// Disable pulse effect
// Comment out: setInterval(addPulseEffect, 1000);
// Disable click interactions
// Comment out the click event listeners- Larger touch targets on mobile devices
