The red is just an example. You can configure background and foreground color for each filter.

This looks good, the red makes it a little hard to read, making it a lot lighter will help.

Of course the patch is against trunk.

Well, there is a checkbox to hide all messages that do not match any filter. I think this is what you want. It’s not that great yet as it doesn’t hide the empty lines but I trying to get this working, too.

Good work mate, just wondering if the patch works for the new rewritten gnome-system-log (2.26)?

That’s OK in this case, but if the messages you want are few and far between, it seems you want to make the irrelevant messages disappear. That is, make it look like what Evolution or Thunderbird does when you search for a pattern (show only the matching messages).
