changing the color of displayed messages

Arturi

Hi all,

is there a way to change the color of messages being displayed in ncsim's console?

My verification environment has lots of $display statements. Some are debugging messages some are error messages.

I would like to change the color of the error messages.

any hint?

Cheers

    I don't know of any way to do this. You can embed escape sequences in your $display statements that would change the color of the text printed to your terminal window. Many (most?) Xterm windows support the VT100 protocol to some extent way down underneath. So the VT100 escape sequences work on my Linux box to change the terminal output color.

    But I don't think that the ncsim console wndow is anything but a text pane and as far as I know they've not exposed any API that would let you change the text characteristics.
