Jared felt the first redesign was too sparse for a full theme: most of the
time only two webs and a spider were on screen.

- Will-o'-the-wisps: six soft green/orange glows wandering and pulsing,
  always present while animating (not in the still scene, where static glows
  would sit on text).
- A witch on a broom crosses just below the header about once a minute
  (redrawn so she reads as a seated figure, not a blob).
- Bats every 20 s (was 30), plus a faster swarm of eight every 60 s.
- The big spider now climbs up its thread and drops back with a bounce.
- A second, small spider on the left web; a tiny jack-o'-lantern with a
  flickering candle hangs by the right web (desktop).

Rendered and inspected at the witch/swarm moments in light, dark and phone,
plus reduced; still 60 fps on vs off.
