The output of toolbox list currently looks like this:

Various issues with this:

  • The information isn't sorted according to what is most useful - containers are more interesting than images, names are more interesting than IDs
  • Your eye is drawn to the bold coloured text, which leads you to skip over the other information and not really see it
  • It's messy visually, due to the lack of consistent columns, which makes it hard to read
  • The column headers are a bit shouty

Suggestion for an improved layout:

Also, I wonder if this detailed output should be a --verbose option, and have toolbox list default to a simple list:

Hey @allanday I know this issue is a little old but I thought it was a good first issue to tackle and I liked your formatting changes so I ran with it. PR has been submitted, let me know what you think and if there is anything you think needs changing. Thanks!
