601672 - Improve display of logging category

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 605621

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Kevin Dangoor]

Currently, the logging category (network, javascript, css, etc.) is displayed in a fashion that blends in with the rest of the output. We should make the logging category visually distinct from the output.

Taking this one. Have a patch in the works that redoes the styling completely, which will allow us to tweak it as much as we like.

Attachment: WIP patch.

WIP patch posted. Issues so far:
 * There isn't actually any styling yet! This just unifies all the message types into one consistent XUL template.
 * Regression: Dividers aren't inserted at the moment.
 * Regression: The console doesn't scroll to the bottom when new messages come in.
 * The tests probably break six ways to Sunday.

On the bright side, this patch actually deletes more lines of code than it adds :)

Is this bug overridden by bug 605621?

Comment 6

[Kevin Dangoor]

ping! it still seems to me that bug 605621 would be taking care of this too.

Yes, indeed. The attached patch was just an old version of the patches in bug 605621. Duplicate!
