Matisse

Matisse is a simple IRB output highlighter. It aims at resolving some issues that i personally had with Wirble. Because Wirble does a lot more than just colorizing the IRB output and i never used these features, i decided to bake my own. Matisse is the result of this effort and i hope you like it, too! This is how it looks like:
