Hi,
I keep thinking that whenever a Warning or an Error occurs iti s hard to
notice those in the Console window.

Would it be a good idea to either highlight those in color, or use some
other way to attract the attention of the programmer?

It is a bigger problem that errors often disappear and don't reappear until
the cache is flushed.

Hmm, I just downloaded the latest PC version, 2014-03,and while it no longer
highlights the entire line the error is on, it's still pure red over black
text which is very hard to read.  A lighter color would make it easier to
see for example if the problem is a } instead of a ].  Perhaps this could be
a choice in Preferences -> Editor?

Using the 2014.12.25 build I find myself in this situation after previewing
several times:

Seems like it treats everything as warnings.

Note, it worked fine in the beginning. I was moving my .scad files over to a
new folder. Moved the main one, opened it, previewed it, correctly got
yellow lines on the missing dependency-scad files, moved those over,
previewed again, got more correct yellow warnings. Moved more files, until
all problems where fixed. At that point it treated everything in the Console
as warnings.
