PingColor 🎨

Colored ping output utility that supports multiplatform (Windows, Linux, macOS) with color configuration via TOML file.

Features

✅ Multiplatform: Windows, Linux, macOS
🎨 True Color Support: Uses hex color (#RRGGBB)
⚙️ Configurable: All colors can be configured via pingcolor.toml
🎲 Smart Random Colors: The same value gets the same color consistently
🔄 Auto Config: Automatically creates pingcolor.toml if it doesn't already exist

Installation

# Clone or copy files

cargo build --release

# Binary is in target/release/pingcolor


# Or


cargo install pingcolor

Usage

# Basic usage

pingcolor google.com

pingcolor 8.8.8.8


# Windows (continuous ping)

pingcolor google.com


# Linux/macOS (default behavior)

pingcolor google.com

Configuration

The file pingcolor.toml will be automatically created with default colors:

# Windows specific colors

reply = "#00FFFF"

timeout = "#FFFF00"

unreachable_fg = "#FFFFFF"

unreachable_bg = "#FF0000"

from = "#FF557F"

ip_fg = "#FFFFFF"

ip_bg = "#00007F"

bytes = "#AA55FF"

time = "#AAAA00"

time_value_fg = "#FFFFFF"

time_value_bg = "#AA00FF"

ms = "#FFAA7F"

ttl = "#55AAFF"

ttl_value_fg = "#FFFFFF"

ttl_value_bg = "#005500"



# Linux/Mac specific

icmp_seq = "#00FFAA"

transmitted = "#AAFFAA"

received = "#AAFFAA"

packet_loss = "#FFAA55"

statistics = "#55AAFF"

ping_statistics = "#55AAFF"



# Random colors for dynamic values (bytes, icmp_seq, etc)

random_colors = ["#FFAA00", "#0055FF", "#AAFFFF"]



# Generic

equals = "#777777"

general_text = "#CCCCCC"

Color Mapping

Windows Output

Reply from 172.217.215.101: bytes=32 time=232ms TTL=101

Reply → Cyan (#00FFFF)
from → Pink (#FF557F)
172.217.215.101 → White on Blue (#FFFFFF on #00007F)
bytes → Purple (#AA55FF)
32 → Random dari 3 warna, konsisten per nilai
time → Yellow (#AAAA00)
232 → White on Purple (#FFFFFF on #AA00FF)
ms → Orange (#FFAA7F)
TTL → Light Blue (#55AAFF)
101 → White on Green (#FFFFFF on #005500)

Linux/macOS Output

64 bytes from 172.217.215.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=15.2 ms

64 → Random dari 3 warna, konsisten per nilai
bytes → Purple (#AA55FF)
from → Pink (#FF557F)
172.217.215.101 → White on Blue
icmp_seq → Aqua (#00FFAA)
1 → Random warna
ttl → Light Blue (#55AAFF)
57 → White on Green (#FFFFFF on #005500)
time → Yellow (#AAAA00)
15.2 → White on Purple (#FFFFFF on #AA00FF)
ms → Orange (#FFAA7F)

Platform Differences

Windows

Output: Reply from x.x.x.x: bytes=32 time=15ms TTL=64
Errors: Request timed out, Destination host unreachable
Ping continuous by default dengan flag -t

Linux

Output: 64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=15.2 ms
Errors: Destination Host Unreachable, Request timeout
Lowercase keywords (ttl, icmp_seq)

macOS

Similar to Linux
Output: 64 bytes from x.x.x.x: icmp_seq=0 ttl=57 time=15.234 ms

Smart Random Colors

The same value will get the same color during the session:

If bytes=32 gets color #FFAA00
As long as the value remains 32, the color remains #FFAA00
If you change to 64, you get a new color (random from the pool)

Dependencies

colored = "2.1"      # True color support

serde = "1.0"        # Serialization

toml = "0.8"         # Config parsing

regex = "1.10"       # Pattern matching

rand = "0.8"         # Random color selection

Notes

Terminal should be support true color (24-bit color)
Modern terminals such as Windows Terminal, iTerm2, or GNOME Terminal are supported
If the color does not appear, check the terminal emulator usedused
