Yep, we played with it but it wasn't customizable enough. Actually I got my subject line wrong: what we have written is an HTMLPatternLayout that we run through a rolling file appender. It does a few things that the HTMLAppender doesn't:
- Color coding of log messages by priority (really handy when scanning a large log for fatals/errors if you've got debug on) - Auto scroll to bottom on reload (tested in IE only at this point) - Total customization of messages as it is a PatternLayout instead of an appender At the moment it's only been tested with IE but it looks OK in opera too.
