Known Issues

Dynamic Theme Updates: Currently, the extension does not automatically update the chat message colors when the Burp Suite theme is changed. This is due to limitations in the Burp Suite Extension API, which does not provide a way to listen for theme change events.

Workaround:

To update the message colors after changing the Burp Suite theme, you can manually refresh the chat display. This can be done by:

1. Restarting the extension: This will reload the extension and apply the current theme colors.

This issue will be addressed in future updates as potential workarounds are explored.
