I've been playing with this release, and now the 2023-07-28 release as 
well.  Thanks for putting these out on a regular basis!  (And I still 
can't praise the update system enough!)

I did see an improvement in the odds of flickering with these releases. 
But when I put in my (uncooperative) SIM card, I noticed the flicker got 
more likely and more severe.  I don't know if this is useful info or 
not.  (I still need to try to figure out what's going on with the SIM card.)

The centering of the storage panel does make selecting a partition into 
less of a game of chance. ;^)  I also noticed the highlighting of the 
sliders in the settings panel in 2023-07-28 - pretty nifty.

Personally, I like the longer screenblanker timer better; the shorter 
one would kick in before my WiFi would connect, for example.  Maybe you 
can make this a setting. :^)

Thanks for the updates - they are a lot of fun!

  Happy Sculpting!
