As you can see, there are still rough edges to be ironed out. One of them is clearly the color palette. Another is the lack of inline rules, which are not supported yet. Neither are dynamic rules (and it is doubtful they ever will be — we are currently exploring other opportunities for dealing with context-sensitive rewrite rules).

You can bring up the actual console by using the console page selector in the top right-hand corner of your console, like you do for the other types of consoles:
