Log4View v2 - Respect monospaced font setting for Message field

Olaf Kober
Log4View v2 - 1.3.5.1421

I configured Level Formats to use a monospaced font, something like Consolas, and the message list nicely adapts to that setting.

Unfortunately, the Message field in the Message Details window still uses the proportional system font, which makes it hard to read multi-line messages. It would be great if the Message field would use the same monospaced font as the message list.

Also, the window opening when double-clicking the Message field should use the same configured monospaced font, not the system font.

Thanks
Olaf

Hello Olaf,

Thank you for this idea. We will consider this idea but we have to check how this fits to the message details formatting.

Hello Ulrich!

Please consider that multi-line messages often have some kind of indentation for a list of values, for example:

Permission Registry contains 40 permissions:
  "Darwin.SystemUpdate/ExecuteSystemUpdate" (IsVisible: True)
  "Darwin.SystemSecurity/ElectronicSignature/Permissions/Submitter" (IsVisible: True)
  "Darwin.SystemSecurity/ElectronicSignature/Permissions/Reviewer" (IsVisible: True)
  "Darwin.SystemSecurity/ElectronicSignature/Permissions/Approver" (IsVisible: True)
...

or some key/value lists aligned, for example:

===(STARTUP)====================================================================
 Date/Time:            12/21/2018 2:05:46 PM +01:00
================================================================================

ENVIRONMENT:
   Operating System:   6.2.9200.0
   Platform:           'Win32NT' (2)
   Machine Uptime:     06:17:01.3900000
   Machine Name:       APA-43642
   Processor Count:    4



Both can be read much better when displayed with a monospaced font.

Kind regards,
Olaf
