Colored text in output window?

[MacSass]

Hi, I have been enjoying the colored text output in the orignal NZB-Monkey, it helped to quickly identify successful searches / push to SABNZB (text in green) and failed searches (text in red).
Can this be implemented to nzb-monkey-go too?

[Tensai75]

Well, colored text is already imlemented. See the gif on the README page.

Indeed, the colour implementation under Windows only worked partially. This should be fixed with the latest version:

Yes - looking good now - thanks for the update and quick response!

Hi, I have one additional comment - the blue that shows the input provided - being on black background is virtually impossible to read in windows - see sample here:

I would recommend to make that more bright, if you don´t mind.

Also the green could get a bit more brightness to make it easier to read, although it is not as bad as the blue.

Thanks for your work - MacSass

Would be great if you could light up colors for windows a bit - it is really hard to read ...
Maybe you there is a "LightBlue" instead of "Blue" and a "LightGreen" instead of "Green"? I not have a clue about Go unfortunately.

Thanks!

The colors are perfectly readable in the standard cmd window with 100% black background:

So I am not going to change them.

Thanks for the feedback - interesting - need to investigate why they are so dark for me. I´m not aware I would have made any modifications to CMD window from standard - but will check.

i have the same problem. I've not modified the cmd.
Im running Win10 Pro 22H2

For every version i have to compile my own build with color.FgHiMagenta instead of color.FgBlue, which looks much better:

Thanks for your comment - good to see I´m not alone with that ... mine looks exactly like yours and I could not figure out why it is so dark, although in Tensai75 screenshot they are a bit brighter than in my windows. I have no clue why ... but anyhow I agree that your screen text has much better readability.
Hope Tensai75 might agree to adjust those a bit ... dark blue on black background is really hard to the eye ..

Ok, will change it to Cyan in next release.
