Changing Text Animation to static leaves some balls still lit

[lancewilhelm]

This is due to the the state of the animation being changed in the middle of writing the new clock time. Can solve one of two ways:

-Reduce the amount of time it takes to write the clock and update text, only updating when a change in the system has occurred
-Making sure that the clock writing is complete before executing and animation shift. This could be done by calling the animation update from elsewhere than the flask api.

Fine tuning this issue.

This happens specifically when we go from scrolling to static for anything other than time. The balls do not reset to the origin and some balls stay lit. It is as if the text state is overwritten completely.

This is evident because if you apply a new BG color after applying the static animation the text that was frozen is overwritten.

Update:
With the newest code it is not as much of a problem anymore. It still does this from time to time. Need to get some more info and really find the root cause of this issue.
