Changing log output line text color
Is there any way to change the color of the text written to the log output using groovy? I know when an exception is thrown it appears in red in the error log. Could I do this programmatically to the ...

Looks awesome. Can you give an example on how to use this? I tried running the code but get multiple compilation errors.
Hi,
just call the required function when ever you need it in the code and then after the script ends running look at the report, the background of the report line where you called the function should be in the color in the color you defined in the functionFor displaying the text you've sent to the function, that can help you "mark" areas in the report file with different colors so it'll be easier for whoever read the report to trace relevant data.
example:
Information("Test information Bgcolor")
Dont forget you'll need to use USEUNIT to include the use of the function/s you're calling to
Hope that helps,
Ofer
