About

Console extensions and filters allowing colored output and using multiple cursors for advanced layouts.

See the Demo project in sources for examples.

This is a complete rewrite of the previous version that is now deprecated. Current version was tested on Windows and Linux systems using PuTTY as Linux Terminal. The CommandLine class was removed, because there is a specialized Woof package for that now.

Known issues

  • Cursor dots may flicker and change colors. System.Console is not asynchronous nor thread safe. There's probably no way around it. Most of the time it works good though.
  • Multiple cursors display may break when bottom end of the window is reached.
  • The output is slow, because System.Console is slow and the colored output uses many string manipulations.
  • The LogAsync method may display messages in a different order than they were called.
  • The defined colors may look different on different terminals and even be invisible on some.
  • Tested on Windows 11 and Ubuntu 20.4, colors may look different or ugly on other systems.
  • The source won't compile on older Visual Studio versions.
  • The package requires .NET 5.0 or newer.

Disclaimer

Please report any issues to the toolkit developer.

Woof Toolkit is a work in progress in constant development, however it's carefully maintained with production code quality.
