## What's New in v3.0.0
- Battery & Performance Overhaul: Eliminates background accelerometer polling and introduces dynamic 1 Hz to 1/min tick throttling, dropping CPU and display wakeups by over 98% (directly addressing the battery draw reported on Pebble Time 2).
- Blink Colon Toggle: New setting under Time & Date to turn off the 1 Hz colon pulse, keeping the separator solid and allowing the watch to sleep between minutes.
- Two-Step Gesture Interaction: First wrist flick from dark illuminates the backlight and stays locked on the Time screen; second flick or tap pages to secondary screens.
- Palm-to-Sleep: Full integration with PebbleOS 4.41+ palm gestures to immediately sleep and return to Time.
- Procedural LED Glow & Ghost Dots Toggle: Realistic solid-state diode bloom with high-contrast unlit matrix option.
- Backlight Tinting: Optionally match your watch's backlight to the active LED colour on supported hardware.
- Bug Fixes: Button presses to exit the watchface no longer extinguish the backlight prematurely, step celebrations trigger reliably once per day, and hourly beeps respect Quiet Time and speaker mute state.
