Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/mthenw/frontail/issues/98

Can you please add feature where we can specify the message color per log file. That is, messages coming from x.log should be displayed in blue, messages coming from y.log should be displayed in green.

Thanks.

I guess it might be better to distribute log files across different tabs, and leave highlighting to various levels of log entries.

I know it's an old issue, but something like docker-compose colors logs would be wonderfull !

Maybe catching the ==> /pathto/file.log <== and transform this to a line prefix with color ?

Note that this could also resolve the selection of a specific file through the [Filter] if each line starts with the log file name :-)

A test for illustration : docker-compose.yaml

version: '3'
services:

  tata:
    image: ubuntu:16.04
    command: sh -c 'echo \\033[31mhello ; sleep 3 ; echo \\033[32mworld ; sleep 1'

  toto:
    image: ubuntu:16.04
    command: sh -c 'echo \\033[31mhello ; sleep 1 ; echo \\033[32mworld ; sleep 3'
