Re: Design concept: Displaying of errors

Rob,

Good suggestion.

And while we're on the subject, the confirmation message that pop's up with
the results of a batch compile should have a nice, bright, icon to indicate
the results. ie:

Success - display a green check mark.
Failure - display a red "X".

Then we can tell at a glance what happened, instead of having to read the
small type in the message.

Regards,

John Taylor
