JMeter - Change Font Colour

Question

Cannot believe I need to ask a question regarding this, but I cannot find anything on Google. Everything related I find is basically only regarding the font SIZE OR the THEME.

While changing to the Darklaf - Dracula theme is great, reading the code (Groovy script, XML, JSON) is AWFUL.

Hoping someone has a way of changing the FONT COLOUR, because looking at the below will make me go insane.

You are correct that this is a crazy issue, and I'm not sure why there isn't more discussion on it or bugs being raised...

The issue is with the darklaf libraries, I can demonstrate this by changing the version that JMeter uses to v2.4.8 rather than v2.5.4.

This is what my custom version looks like:

To change this, either build JMeter from source after changing the version in gradle.properties, which is what I did, or I suppose you could download the .jar file and replace the version in jmeter/lib, which I haven't tried but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

Happy automating.

Wow, thank you so much Jake! :) This may seem a bit simple, but I cannot seem to find gradle.properties.. I am using JMeter 5.3. But also, where would I be able to find the .jar file for a different version (assuming the .jar you're referring to is for Darklaf Theme)? – Promissory

Ah right, sorry I assumed you were building it from source like I am! No worries, just add the .jar to the jmeter/lib folder. – Bertelli

You can find the versions here: mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.weisj. Just replace each version inside your current jmeter/lib folder with the 2.4.8 version you download from that site. Note: darklaf-extensions-rsyntaxarea is version 0.3.4 – Bertelli

Should be fixed, when github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/719 is merged. – Breastbone
