    Description

      If you're using colored output for some reason, it may be hard or even impossible to read the text on several output panes.

      Examples: create e.g. boost tests and run it with following arguments

      -r detailed -l all -x 

      inside QC without using an external terminal.

       

      Please, investigate how the fine tuning of the OutputFormatter  (src/libs/utils) or the AnsiEscapeCodeHandler could be tweaked to make colors readable on any theme.

       

      Note: I recently moved some function into the Utils library (isReadableOn()) that might be helpful..
