I'm running a few tests as per marko's suggestions. I'm in need of a bit of help in the form of your opinions on these three images. They're three different ways of displaying output:
GremlinBin standard console output. This is roughly how it is today and is my personal favorite: http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae305/DylanMillikin/Screen%20Shot%202016-04-09%20at%2012.24.13_zpsymbn7cr0.png Terminal console which is the same as the terminal, I find the readability lower here but it's homogenous with the actual console: http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae305/DylanMillikin/Screen%20Shot%202016-04-09%20at%2012.25.09_zpselrb46mb.png Terminal with bold query : http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae305/DylanMillikin/Screen%20Shot%202016-04-09%20at%2012.25.41_zpsbr985qvb.png My stance is probably biased by the fact that I spend limited time using the actual Gremlin console. Which do you guys prefer? On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 4:32 PM, Dylan Millikin <dylan.milli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Awesome feedback Marko.
