Thanks. Yeah, I’ve increased the size of the node graphics from the default, but the graph library that lays them out doesn’t actually know that, so it places the text in a way that ends up overlapping with the graphics. Hacking that is on my to-do list.
Try giving the letters outlines by rendering the same string in white four times at (-1,0), (1,0), (0,-1), (0,1) from the final text position before rendering the actual black text at the center. That way it won’t get visually tangled with the black graph parts.
Also, speaking of visuals, maybe take a moment to think about colors. The pure-channel #F00 / #0F0 red and green are too visually stark and have a different visual intensity. Maybe try experimenting with tweaking the colors and looking up general color palette design stuff to get some easy wins on making the screenshots look instantly visually nice.

Interesting suggestion about the colors. That might be worth doing, though it seems like a lower-priority thing right now, so I’ll probably leave it for later.
Make the text more clearly readable by spacing it away from the tables, or making more solid, lighter-colored lettering.

Great suggestion about the text, thanks!
