I am running BOINC 5.8.16 on Windows XP. Is it just me or is the text color for error messages no longer red? I liked the red, because it made it easier to see any errors.

The red is still there I think. However it is used for many fewer messages. Too many participants paniced just because the message was red when it wasn't really that serious; intermittant server problems for instance.

I miss it, too (as I mentioned in the Wish List a while ago). Perhaps a second colour—one less likely to stir strong emotions ;)—could be used to highlight the ‘demoted’ messages, like “No work from project”? I would also find it useful if some of the other messages were colour-coded: tasks starting for the first time, for example.

Why not write a Trac ticket about it then?
