BigRed
BigRed is a tiny addon that lets you customize your game error messages. Not Lua errors, mind you, but game errors - things like "out of range" and "not enough energy." It offers the following features:

- choose your font!
- move the messages
- adjust the maximum number of messages to show
- adjust the time it takes for the messages to fade out
- adjust the amount of that time they spend fading
- throttle the messages
- set the justification
- adjust the text color color

Finally, clean up those hideous big red lines of text from the middle of your UI!

If you have any suggestions, leave 'em here, but I do not intend to expand the pleasantly limited scope of the addon significantly. Please leave questions, comments, etc. as well.

AUTHORS: The API is now exposed and specified. See spec.html or BigRed.pod for details.

Other justifications are in, in case you didn't notice. I didn't think anyone would bother to use profiles for an addon so quick to configure, but I'll add a basic profile mechanism.

I suggest profiles or a static profile for an account. Tried copying savedvariables but the box shifts around.

Nice addon! I like the font size change and the throttling speed. Thanks for making it.

Thanks for fix

Personally I like how it is now with the left justification.

Great addon, surprised no one thought about doing this. The thought of having an addon to do this completely eluded me :P

And frankyl, you should make the messages fit within the space of the box, regardless of font size. Shrink it accordingly... although i imagine it would take a bit of real processing.
Alignment is my next step. I didn't bother to make them fit because the box doesn't show when you're using it anyway, unless you play with it unlocked? so I didn't even bother. I may have to yet though.

Thanks. I'll give it another try.

Re: Usage???
It's /br, though I recommend /br config.

A bug relating to Ace3 libraries was preventing the slash commands from being loaded, and causing the errors posted below. I tested the current version with clean installs a few times, it should be golden.

yeah I thought of it initially when a guildy asked me to make a macro to hide the whole frame. I used that for awhile, but occasionally I'd genuinely want to know why my spells weren't working. I wish I could turn off the sound too but that doesn't go through the interface code at all as far as I can tell.
