The font size on these is unreadable.
Some suggestions for how to improve things:

  • don't display the language in the column on the left (it's already in the window title/shebang)
  • render all languages to a single image, so you have more control over the spacing (instead of being at the mercy of Github table padding)
  • don't put the light/dark versions next to each other, since that wastes half of the available horizontal space. maybe put the dark version at the bottom... or don't bother at all?

...I also actually thought I'll try making a (perl) script that generates the preview as an SVG with these things in mind. If it works out I'll submit it as a PR, maybe you could build off it. nvm - I made it, and it kinda sucks.

@dzwdz i guess you can click on these images to open them directly in a new page. the images sizes are large, so better to view them in full.

i've updated the README accordingly now.
