Colors

If you are using a bash console or terminal, you can see a different color for each of the log levels. Here is the list of colors supported by a bash terminal:

FG_BLACK=30
FG_RED=31
FG_GREEN=32
FG_YELLOW=33
FG_BLUE=34
FG_VIOLET=35
FG_CYAN=36
FG_WHITE=37




So to change the color of a level, you can do:

Debug.setColor(32);




Or you can pass the color code on startup for a level:

-DdebugColor=32




The default colors for the levels are:

Debug(36), Info(32), Warn(35), Error(34), Alert(33), Fatal(31)




You can see them by running the following command-line:

java -cp mentalog.jar -DlogColors=true org.mentalog.Log

NOTE: Remember that the colors are by default disabled. You can enable them by passing -DlogColors=true on startup or by calling Log.setColors(true). Also remember files do not support coloring, only the bash console.
