Thanks,

I'm still keeping both on the go because the transparent tetrahedra
make quite a difference. However they don't go so well with the text
at present when the shape is turning.

As you'll see, I've now made the faces completely opaque.

It is v. easy to change and I'll prob. do some more experimentation
of various effects later on (one can also add textures if one wants)

I wonder if I should make them a little transparent, just slightly so.

Or alternatively, making them very transparent, so one can see through
fairly clearly, like dark blue glass.

I'll see later what ideas arise when I come back to them again fresh
after a spell working on FTS 1.09.
