UI Layout
From top to bottom, the main window is laid out as menu, toolbar, (filter bar), log tabs with side panel, (search panel), and status bar. The search panel uses the full width of the window, extending beneath the bookmark pane.
Main Areas
The role of each area that makes up the screen is as follows.
- Menu / Toolbar: A collection of the main commands such as open file, save, find, and toggle theme.
- Log tabs: The Live tab showing real-time logs and one tab per opened file, displayed on a single row.
- Side panel: Located on the right, with two tabs: Bookmarks and Navigation.
- Search results panel: At the bottom of the window, where Find results are grouped by file and stacked as tabs.
- Status bar: Shows total log count, count shown, bookmark count, source count, and the current theme.
The log grid columns are Time, Type, Log, Line, Func, File, Path, PID, TID, and Level, and row backgrounds are color-coded by category (ERROR, WARN, INFO, SYSTEM, and so on). Column widths can be adjusted by dragging a boundary or auto-fit by double-clicking, and widths are preserved across restarts.

The theme toggle button automatically changes to a sun or moon icon depending on the current state, so you intuitively know which theme it will switch to next. A "Stay On Top" (pushpin icon) button and an "Open Log Folder" button are also provided, so you can use them directly without opening the Options window.
