Changing text colors?

[LedLoaf]

I don't know why this has become so difficult for me to look up.

I have a core logger and a client logger. All I'm trying to do is change the color of the text for one of the levels. Debug in this case.
I've read on here a SetTextColor option and I don't see that in the current version. I also saw someone mention using %^ color here %$ and that doesn't seem to do anything for me either, unless I'm not specificying the color correctly.

Any help would be appreciated. I feel like color options/example snippets use to be on the front page?

Hey thanks, I saw that part. So what is [%l] ?
How do you actually specify the color?

[tt4g]

%l is a pattern flag.
3. Custom formatting: https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki/3.-Custom-formatting

Note that some of the Windows consoles, e.g. the debugger console, do not support color.

[gabime]

The color is determined automatically by spdlog according to the log level.
To change the mapping of levels to colors usevoid set_color(level::level_enum level, std::uint16_t color))

spdlog/include/spdlog/sinks/wincolor_sink.h

Line 34 in 0ca574a

void set_color(level::level_enum level, std::uint16_t color);
