Change ForegroundColor [WORKS FOR ANY SOURCE]

How to change Console ForegroundColor [WORKS FOR ANY SOURCE]
If some of you reading this, find the wall of white text annoying when you execute Server and World Server for any source here is a quick tutorial on how to get that fixed so you won't have to deal with your OCD again.

Please note: This might not be optimal for anyone, but i suggest this quick trick if you are running around with a small project. Don't worry, i'll get back to this later on. For now lets begin.

So for the first step you have 3 tasks. You have to choose the foreground color (If you don't know what the foreground color is, its the color of everything displayed in front of the background, wich would be the blank-black screen you see when you open the console) You have to find out what colors you want, and what you think will be optimal as of when you want to read something from the console. For my project i use following colors:



Normal Text = green

Warning Text = red

Error Text = = red


Here is a little view of my setup:

After

So in order to do this, go to your log4net_server.config. Its located in your server project

In there start off by changin the DEBUG Forecolor value to whatever you like. The DEBUG is the normal text. Loading, Init, Listening etc.

Do the same with WARN and ERROR.

The exact same proccess will have to be done for the log4net_wServer.config wich is located in the wServer ofc.
I use same color settings for both projects.

Here is the source of my setup if you are having any trouble with it:

nice good job

I don't get any use of this... It's just a console / info log...

It has always been a console log xD

The point of this is to change the color and decide what and how the console show loaded embeds. like this

[DATE], [PATH], [MESSAGE], [VALUE] > [DATE], [MESSAGE]
