There needs to be functionality to allow custom formatting on the outputs before they are drawn on the screen. For example, controlling the # of decimal places in the power output so it shows 41watts instead of 41.17, and formatting the network speed so it's not some huge stupid number. Time and date, too. Basically, any output should be able to go through either a VBSscript or Python script to format the output.
Hell, using either of those would also allow you to choose pulling in data from some other unrelated thing like a websocket server to feed data into the system.
