how can I edit colors?

[georgejecook]

between your documentation and IBM's I can't figure out how I add new regex/s or change colors..

if I want to change colors, does that not mean I basically have to create my own extension, like yours?

confused..

My warnings were getting colored as red so I went hunting.

The tmLanguage has the TextMate scopes for the regex, like this for the warning scope. https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/vscode-log-output-colorizer/blob/26eb53df4c8a53b5d8f8dfa760137967bc56faf9/src/syntaxes/log.tmLanguage#L118-L123

In my settings.json I added this section to colorize it as yellow for me.

    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "textMateRules": [
            {
                "scope": "invalid.deprecated",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#d1d425",
                }
            }
        ]
}

To add more regex, yes it does look like you'd need to write your own extension (or locally edit the tmLanguage file with extras, though that might not keep on updtes)

Hey all!

So I ran into this plugin and a similar problem with the output window not having any color support. I have a fork where I added the ability for a user to add their own regexes and semantics to the output stream.

In a few days, I'll see about adding a PR after adding testing. If anyone would like to try it out, the README is updated with instructions here:

@kymikoloco Thanks for that! Do you know if it's possible to restrict the tweak to the log window only?

Because for example, if I use your trick to change string.quoted (instead of invalid.deprecated) it will change the color on ALL windows, everywhere in vscode.
