I think that AnsiColoredConsoleAppender probably works the best. It sort of makes some sense. It's an appender, for the console, that is colored, and uses ANSI for coloring it.
I'm hesitant to just call it AnsiConsoleAppender because of the fact that ANSI has a whole bunch of standards for all sorts of different things. In the computer world ANSI may mean only one thing, but I don't want people to mistakingly assume that the appender is written or endorsed by ANSI. --Patrick On Mon, 2004-09-06 at 10:00, Ceki GÃlcà wrote: > At 03:56 PM 9/6/2004, you wrote: > >Patrick, > > > >Thanks for the new appender, looks good so far.
