UI change

Dark theme/something that colours your history based on certain values, be it regex, host or whether the request is get or post.

Thanks for your inquiry. A few people have requested a dark theme, and it is on our backlog. We have some UI updates in the pipeline, which we'll attend to first. Having rules to control highlighting is interesting. Can you provide a couple of example use cases. I'm wondering if we could leverage the filter in the HTTP History tab to help with this.

I don't really care about a new theme, but colorizing items on user-defined criterias would be awesome! There's already some extensions doing similar things: - the "AutoChrome" extension will add a Proxy History comment based on the User-Agent (which is itself set to a color matching the browser theme) https://github.com/nccgroup/autochrome/tree/master/burp_extension - the "Multi-Browser Highlighting" will affect a different color to each new user-agent string going through the proxy https://portswigger.net/bappstore/bapps/details/29fb77b2611d4c27a9a0b8bc504d8ca2 The main use-case would be the testing of authorization bugs, where two browsers going through Burp Proxy are used at the same time. Given what AutoChrome offers, that would allow colorized browsers GUI (ex: "red" for admin", "yellow" for user") having their traffic highlight automatically to the same color. Which is currently doable, in a limited way, via "Multi-Browser Highlighting". Criterias: - at least the UA - nice to have: host, is_in_scope, content-type of the response , ...

Hi Nicolas, Once again, thanks for the constructive suggestions. We do intend to revisit this area. If fact, we're going to try to find a neat way for requests to have multiple tags, which should be more flexible that the current highlighting system. We'll let you know when there's progress.
