✨ At a glance

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes

Or with the NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes

🚀 Quick start

using Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes;
using Serilog;

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .MinimumLevel.Debug()
    .WriteTo.Console(theme: AnsiConsoleThemes.EigenverftDark)
    .CreateLogger();

Switching the visual identity is intentionally simple:

.WriteTo.Console(theme: AnsiConsoleThemes.Aurora)

🖥️ Terminal compatibility

ANSI rendering depends on the terminal and its color capabilities.

• EigenverftDark and EigenverftHarbor use 24-bit true-color escape sequences.
• CodingNight and SignalSlate use 256-color palettes.
• Bloodline uses attributes such as underline, reverse video, and blink; terminal support varies.
• The remaining themes use broadly supported ANSI color sequences.

EigenverftDark is designed for a near-black terminal background comparable to the Eigenverft Tarink color (rgb(9, 14, 15)). It normally leaves the terminal background untouched; only fatal events use an explicit background color.

EigenverftHarbor targets the same dark-terminal environment, but deliberately avoids Bluecoat navy as foreground text. It keeps Icesail for readability and uses brighter blue/cyan plus orange and complementary accents for stronger semantic separation.

SignalSlate is optimized for scanning long-running logs: repeated message text stays deliberately muted, changing structured names and values step toward white for faster scanning, and color is reserved for warning, error, and fatal level markers.

🧪 Theme preview application

The repository includes a console gallery with hosting and Microsoft logging integration. Running it without arguments renders every theme in sequence for easy visual comparison:

dotnet run --project src/prj/Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes.Console/Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes.Console.csproj

Use --theme for a focused preview, or --list for the catalog:

dotnet run --project src/prj/Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes.Console/Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes.Console.csproj -- --theme SignalSlate
dotnet run --project src/prj/Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes.Console/Eigenverft.NetLib.SerilogThemes.Console.csproj -- --list

The preview writes every Serilog level, structured scalar and object values, an exception, and a message routed through Microsoft.Extensions.Logging for each rendered theme.

🎯 Target frameworks

The package ships dedicated assets for:

• net462
• net6.0
• net8.0
• net10.0

This preserves the original .NET Framework compatibility while covering the .NET LTS lines. Compatible odd-numbered .NET consumers can use the preceding LTS asset, for example .NET 7 uses net6.0 and .NET 9 uses net8.0.

🧪 Build and test
