Thanks for the feedback.

This is a great idea.  When you consider it with the screenshot provided, it makes perfect sense.  It is a little bit trickier if the log file has warning or error status issues.  It may be cluttered if we try to put too much information into the view.

I will take a look and see what we can do.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe you sir need to consider a new color schema for these, and let highlight color on the top, I think this is in line with expectations.

You mean a new toolbar command to 'show highlights in scrollbar'?

That might work.  Part of the problem here is that we will need to scan through the whole file to find the matches.  This would hit performance, so having an easy 'opt-in' would make sense. 

Thanks!

Sorry my english is not good.
I mean, considering that more colors will be displayed in the scroll bar, in order to avoid confusion, maybe you should redesign a colors set.
As for the 'show highlights in scrollbar' command you mentioned, you know, have choice always better no choise, I like more options.
Regarding performance, I think it is a same problem with How to display ISSUE color, I hope you sir solve it.

Thank you, have a good day.
