Compiled logging library suggestion(s)?
The usual recommendation when logging libraries are brought up is spdlog, which is however header-only. It's available on Conan-center.

I want to slightly change the behavior of the std::cout
Typically, you'd use a logging library to handle stuff like this. I personally like spdlog. You use different logger functions (info, warn, error) and depending on what level you have set for the logger (or globally) some of the functions become no-ops. E.g. When not running in verbose mode all spdlog::info() do nothing.
What are some alternatives?
raylib - A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming
glog - C++ implementation of the Google logging module
SDL - DEPRECATED: Official development moved to GitHub
Boost.Log - Boost Logging library
imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
easyloggingpp - C++ logging library. It is extremely powerful, extendable, light-weight, fast performing, thread and type safe and consists of many built-in features. It provides ability to write logs in your own customized format. It also provide support for logging your classes, third-party libraries, STL and third-party containers etc.
OpenFrameworks - openFrameworks is a community-developed cross platform toolkit for creative coding in C++.
G3log - G3log is an asynchronous, "crash safe", logger that is easy to use with default logging sinks or you can add your own. G3log is made with plain C++14 (C++11 support up to release 1.3.2) with no external libraries (except gtest used for unit tests). G3log is made to be cross-platform, currently running on OSX, Windows and several Linux distros. See Readme below for details of usage.
GLFW - A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input
plog - Portable, simple and extensible C++ logging library
GStreamer - GStreamer open-source multimedia framework
log4cplus - log4cplus is a simple to use C++ logging API providing thread-safe, flexible, and arbitrarily granular control over log management and configuration. It is modelled after the Java log4j API.
