If you're talking about the example in the PDF, then I think it's a light source issue. If you're talking about the images on the referenced page, then those are simply solid colors.

I have the Strada and do not care for it.
Complaints:
1) Too dark of a daylight display.
2) Too hard to figure out how to change the time and too hard to type in correct sequences to change settings.

Dumb contest. Most cateye products are marginally ok, but this is not a good contest. Where's the option to resize the unit display size? Where are the options to design the electronic display choices? Where are the options for providing feedback on impossible user manuals? Where are the options to comment on the more logical display options?
Not there, this is just a new theme contest. If you want excitement, need a new engineering effort not just a fresh coat of paint.
