Other Scala-Related Tips

The Log File Highlighter extension is handy for viewing Scala Designer and Player log files. Add the following custom patterns to your settings.json for optimal viewing. The final pattern is used to dim the end-of-line timecodes... make sure its foreground color is low-contrast to your background. (These values are chosen for a light background.)
