Reformat output.

This is what I see now:

Compare that to >=0.8.0:

While I like the line number on the left and the reduction of colors in general, I don't really like the indentation of the ^ message because it's going to wrap oddly in many circumstances.

First, I'd remove the per-file indentation, and would intelligently compute the width of the "line number" column per-file using the grunt.log.table method, like so:

$ grunt
Running "jshint:all" (jshint) task

Gruntfile.js
20 |    (function() { /* need to test indentation and wrapping */ }(x));
                                                                    ^ 'x' is not defined.
index.js
211 |log.verbose = {};
     ^ 'log' is not defined.
212 |log.notverbose = {};
     ^ 'log' is not defined.
215 |Object.keys(log).filter(function(key) {
                 ^ 'log' is not defined.

Maybe after that, I'd go back to visually highlighting the invalid character and not indenting the warning message, simulated here with [].

$ grunt
Running "jshint:all" (jshint) task

Gruntfile.js
20 |    (function() { /* need to test indentation and wrapping */ }([x]));
    'x' is not defined.
index.js
211 |[l]og.verbose = {};
     'log' is not defined.
212 |[l]og.notverbose = {};
     'log' is not defined.
215 |Object.keys([l]og).filter(function(key) {
     'log' is not defined.

Basically, I'd like to see a hybrid between the old and the new way, because I don't think the new way is a clear-cut improvement.

+1 Seeing them side to side now, I like the color better and the highlighted error instead of the ^.

Hi guys, a query about output colours; is it possible to change/customise output color of errors? The errors show up in navy blue against the black background of my terminal window (win 8), which makes it very difficult to read. See attached image.

@zumek, These colors are how grunt.log outputs "log," "warning," and "error" messages. They are currently not configurable, and you're only real option is to use --no-color (which loses you the red.) Just filed a request on grunt.log, if there's any interest I will put a patch together as well.

Does anyone want to take a stab at changing the visual style? @shama? @vladikoff?
