        Can you not just glance and see approximately? Can’t think visually, must convert to numerical?

          Yes, if I give the screen a lil’ kiss with my eyelids I can probably see that the icon has 8 pixels in height instead of 11.

          That is not what I would call a “glance” though; I can, however, just glance and see approximately, by looking at the first digit of the number.

      I more want a guesstimate of when my phone will be red, so if anything a second timer next to my clock would be best.

      …or a number that i can tune my own instincts to
