Everything required to modify messages JSON configs
TwitchSpawn refers to the title and subtitle displayed upon an event occurance by "message". Messages are consisted of two parts: event-related part and action-related part.
Those parts can be easily changed into anything desired by editing messages.title.json and messages.subtitle.json files. Thanks to Minecraft JSON Text Components, it is pretty easy to prettify messages. You can use following tool to generate JSON Text Components easily: https://minecraft.tools/en/json_text.php​
Minecraft JSON Text Components
In addition to the default messages, an overriding method for action-related part is also present thanks to DISPLAYING field of TwitchSpawn Language!
example
SUMMON donkey
 DISPLAYING %[
  {text:"${actor}", color:"aqua"},
  {text:" summoned you a ", color:"white"},
  {text:"${mobName}", color:"gold"}
