I'm glad people are liking some of the new changes to Game Courier. I started with making the backup procedure more robust and displaying the steps it goes through. I thought of displaying this like an old computer display with green text on a black background. But then I started using red for errors and yellow for warnings, and I liked how these colors showed up better against a black background. With this as a start, I decided to color code and organize everything Game Courier output when sending and logging a move. I also decided to use appropriate dingbats for each type of item. These helped make the nature of each item clearer. So, instead of having a wall of text that you had to read each time, you could glance at the green checkmarks and know things were going okay, pay attention to warnings and notices without mistaking them for errors, and quickly notice when there were errors. By organizing the output, I could also add more suggestions for what to do next. I made similar changes to the output from issuing and accepting an invitaion.
