Can I have different foreground colors in one text area? Different fonts?
I want to add something like “hh:mm:ss Nickname: message”, with time being gray, name – blue, message – black.

I made a mistake in my comment: it is JTextPane what you want, not JTextArea.
It turns out that seesaw supports JTextPane. See
(seesaw.core/styled-text), which createsJTextPanes, and(seesaw.core/style-text!)which applies different styles to the text inside the pane.Their usage seems to be pretty straightforward: first you define mapping
id -> styleduring pane construction, and then you use thisidwhen you assign styles to parts of the text.
