Robert Middleton commented on LOGCXX-566:
-----------------------------------------
We should also have pre-set colors if possible. This would be somewhat similar
to what libfmt does, but as text in our configuration file.
ideas:
<param name="errorColor" value="red"/> <-- red color text(foreground implied)
<param name="errorColor" value="bg(red)|fg(white)|bold"/> <-- red background,
white text, bold
<param name="errorColor" value="\x1b[7m"/> <-- white letters on black
background(ANSI escape code directly set by user)
> Configurable output colors for log messages

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-566
> Project: Log4cxx
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Robert Middleton
> Assignee: Robert Middleton
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> With the %Y formatter, we can colorize the log output messages depending on
> their level.
>
> This should be expanded to have a parameter on the PatternLayout that you can
> use to apply the colors. For example, error is currently "\x1B[91m" for red,
> but this should be user-configurable so that it can be a different color if
> required.
> This also means that things such as bold text can be configured by the user.
