Hello, This was never about looking nice, but about communicating the information quickly. For me the current text string isn't noise-free but almost *all noise* as it is difficult to quickly extract the meaningful numbers from the jumble of text.
But in truth this was just an experiment that I had fun playing with and didn't really expect it to be accepted as-is. But then I was quite surprised at the positive response it got from other users. No worries though, I'm full of more silly ideas...
