------------------------------------
> Improve log coloring
> --------------------
>
> Key: KARAF-2401
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2401
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: karaf-shell
> Reporter: Claus Ibsen
> Assignee: Guillaume Nodet
> Fix For: 4.2.0
>
>
> Apache Karaf uses colors in the shell. For example red for ERROR lines in the
> logs, and so forth.
> The end user can change these colors in the configuration file, but this is
> not easy to do for the average end user.
> It would be great if Karaf offers
> - a command to show the current color settings (with example)
> - a command to change color
> Also down the road it would be great if we could have color themes. So people
> can easily switch to another scheme. For example a black/white. And also
> create their own color themes.
> The default colors is not ideal. For example Windows users has horrible
> experience as the red and blue colors is very hard to read on a standard
> windows DOS prompt.
> There is some way to change the colors in the DOS prompt but Windows people
> dont know about this. And frankly it would be nicer if Karaf offered a better
> out of the box experience.
> Some links about changing colors
> http://tmielke.blogspot.de/2013/04/how-to-chang-colors-in-karaf-shell.html
> Alternatively, you can edit the etc/org.apache.karaf.shell.log.cfg file and
> add the following properties
> fatalColor=39
> errorColor=39
> warnColor=39
> infoColor=39
> debugColor=39
> traceColor=39
> See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code for standard colours.
> The string is prepended with 0x27 and '[' and suffixed by 'm to build a
> correct ansi code, so it should be possible to build more complicated colour
> strings for blinkings and such.
> For example the following setting
> infoColor=1m\0x2739
> will turn on bold with default colour for info statements.
