Loïc Gombeaud (ID: 000000c733f0ec4d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/29/2020 Great idea; unfortunately it does not preserve the monospace font (on Windows 10), so it makes logs unreadable. As the other review mentioned, it would also be nice to have the actual colors, but keeping it monospace is a must have IMHO.
