It could work.
In my small framework I use version blocks and I use ansi
escape
sequences for posix and SetConsoleTextAttribute for windoze.
Ofcourse there would be a need to create unified enumeration
with colors
as they differ on those platforms too.
Good catch.
public enum Font
{
Normal = 0,
Underline = 0x8000,
Reverse = 0x4000,
}
public enum Color
{
Default = 0x0000,
Blue = 0x0001,
Green = 0x0002,
Aqua = 0x0003,
Red = 0x0004,
Purple= 0x0005,
Yellow= 0x0006,
Gray = 0x0008,
LightBlue = 0x0009,
LightGreen = 0x000A,
LightAqua = 0x000B,
LightRed = 0x000C,
LightPurple= 0x000D,
}
Those are colors and font-attributes that I found to match
both Windows
and Posix
If you can show me you're work and it's licensed in a way that
I can use it in Phobos, then I'll happily try to make use of
it. It'd be much appreciated.
Sure, give me some time and I will prepare code.
Framework is BSD licensed but I can relicense it to whatever you
want.
