Console log is unreadable (white text on white background) if quarkus.log.console.format is set

[ge0ffrey]

Describe the bug

When I set this in my application.properties:

quarkus.log.console.format=%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %5p [%t] %m%n

the log messages become invisible in a vanilla (non-darkula) IntelliJ, because they are written in a white font, even when the console background is white.

Expected behavior

Readable log messages

Actual behavior

Unreadable log messages

How to Reproduce?

Set quarkus.log.console.format and use a white background console.

Quarkus version or git rev

3.0.3.Final

Recommended fix

Set quarkus.log.console.darken=1 by default, especially if quarkus.log.console.format is set.

[ge0ffrey]

Reproduces on Quarkus 3.2.4.Final too.

Try with export QUARKUS_LOG_CONSOLE_DARKEN=1

[ge0ffrey]

That works for me.
How do I set QUARKUS_LOG_CONSOLE_DARKEN for all the random people who check out our quarkus examples?

[cescoffier]

I should work from the application.properties: quarkus.log.console.darken=...

[ge0ffrey]

Some of us work with a white background console, others with a dark background console.
We use the same application.properties.

The quarkus.log.console.darken=1 value seems to work for everyone.

Thanks Clement. That works well!

Changed this issue to ask to set quarkus.log.console.darken=1 by default if quarkus.log.console.format is set.
