Re: [forge-dev] WindowBlu for Forge

It's cool - but I was really hoping such things as direct/raw text control/buffer output would not be exposed or at least not be the norm that plugins uses/depends on it. It still annoys me to see forge plugins that does shell.print(Color.RED, "blah blah") instead of shell.error("blah blah") /max On Nov 16, 2011, at 17:04, Mike Brock wrote: > Internally, there is a new concept known as a BufferManager.

One thing that upset me was that Forge lacked a sub-buffering facility for console output, so you could intercept console output and do fun stuff like add a status bar.
