Yes, and it was much more flexible as well. Dangerously flexible. The advantage of the "duty cycle" mechanism is that it shows you exactly where the danger is -- the higher the duty cycle, the greater the chance of damage to the LEDs. I'll look at providing other UI options, but I at least want to keep the duty cycle value somewhere, to let you know if you're in dangerous territory.
How about keeping the duty cycle but providing a dynamic info line showing what it translates to in absolute terms.
