How to format a tab config

[BrianGrug]

Hey, just wanted opinions from people on how I should format my tab config.

What I have now:

 # The first section. 1.7 and 1.8

  0-0: "%line%"
  0-1: ""
  0-2: "&e&lCurrent Ping"
  0-3: "%ping%ms"
  0-4: ""
  0-5: ""
  0-6: ""
  0-7: "&6&lKits"
  0-8: "%player_count:Squads% &fplayer(s)"
  0-9: ""
  0-10: ""
  0-11: ""
  0-12: ""
  0-13: ""
  0-14: ""
  0-15: ""
  0-16: ""
  0-17: ""
  0-18: ""
  0-19: "%line%"

  # The second section. 1.7 and 1.8

  1-0: "5&lSolenxia Site"
  1-1: ""
  1-2: "&e&lCurrent Rank"
  1-3: "%rank%"
  1-4: ""
  1-5: ""
  1-6: ""
  1-7: "&6&lSquads"
  1-8: "%player_count:Squads% &fplayer(s)"
  1-9: ""
  1-10: ""
  1-11: ""
  1-12: ""
  1-13: ""
  1-14: ""
  1-15: ""
  1-16: ""
  1-17: ""
  1-18: ""
  1-19: "%line%"

  # The third section. 1.7 and 1.8

  2-0: "%line%"
  2-1: ""
  2-2: "&e&lOnline Players"
  2-3: "%online%"
  2-4: ""
  2-5: ""
  2-6: ""
  2-7: "&6&lPractice"
  2-8: "%player_count:Squads% &fplayer(s)"
  2-9: ""
  2-10: ""
  2-11: ""
  2-12: ""
  2-13: ""
  2-14: ""
  2-15: ""
  2-16: ""
  2-17: ""
  2-18: ""
  2-19: "%line%"

  # The fourth section. 1.8

  3-0: "%line%"
  3-1: ""
  3-2: ""
  3-3: ""
  3-4: ""
  3-5: ""
  3-6: ""
  3-7: "&4&lWarning!"
  3-8: "&7We recommend the"
  3-9: "&7the use of &f1.7"
  3-10: "&7 and not &f1.8&7."
  3-11: ""
  3-12: ""
  3-13: ""
  3-14: ""
  3-15: ""
  3-16: ""
  3-17: ""
  3-18: ""
  3-19: ""

And it's a bit too aids for me.

But it's just the same as before

Could we see a screenshot ingame so it's easier to visualize?

Sure!

 

[BrianGrug]

Thanks.

A few thoughts:
- The bold yellow doesn't look the best, especially with the other colours. Maybe try standardizing them to &6?
- The gray bars at the top and bottom are great, they could stand out a little more in &8?
- If possible, centering things like "Current Rank" and the line below them could look sweet, not sure how hard it would be though.

The thing is, I want them to be able to edit it in the config, I'm just not sure how I should make the config look

 

[BrianGrug]

Honestly I can't think of any better way to do it. There's so much content and no real way to condense it.

Oh, alrighty! Thanks!

Not saying you have to do it like this but this is the implementation that is used in my Hub Core
