Screen burn-in on Super AMOLED #1

I just played Blockinger for the first time for about 15 minutes. After the game closed, I noticed the game buttons had been burned on to the screen. Apparently this is something that can happen to Super AMOLED (or simply any OLED technology) screens. An explanation for the cause begins here in this thread:

My issue was only temporary but noticeable because of the high contrast between the white buttons on the black blackground. Decidedly, I could fix the problem myself by turning the brightness down on the phone (it's supposed to automatically adjust to the ambient light but it doesn't). But you may want to provide an option to change the button colors to further alleviate this issue or just change the button colors to a light grey or blue or whatever you like to lessen the contrast a little bit.

One other thing: How about making the fast-drop button a different color from the rotate buttons? Several times I forgot which buttons were which and accidentally dropped pieces instead of rotating them. I don't have time to look at the button icons so a different color would make it stand out better.

Beautiful game, BTW.

Thank you so much for notifying me! I was totally unaware that something like screen burn-in can happen nowadays.

Your Feedback is also very much appreciated.

As for your button positioning issue: I multiplied the distance between the lower rotation button and the hard drop button by four. This should be noticeable enough I hope.
