There is a way to get closer to the look that you want to replicate the VFD.PNG look.
It is a two step process. The first is to get the values that you need onto a record. Typically this done by making a helper table with just 1 record in it act as a global summary record for your detail records and float up a summary count of the value you are looking for. For example, that might be a Summary Totals of the count of the # of Orders scheduled for Production today.
Then we use a Rich Text formula field to format that number larger and perhaps in color and we may add some other fields to provide extra text.
Then lay out those fields on a form.
As I recall, we do that by doing a preview of the form, and then using the URL for the Preview as a web page Dashboard element.
Feel free to contact me to work on this together on a a one-on-one basis.

Hi Mark, here's a larger view of the VFD:
Each of the larger numbers are a summery of data. The table rows (with blue, yellow and green) are a snapshot of the table referenced.
