I think we can improve upon the styling of error messages.
Simple changes: round the corners a bit with border-radius to match buttons perhaps. soften the border. check the font, i think it may not be responsive. Or maybe it could be a bit smaller.
Bigger changes: should we have an area that is highly visible that can list any errors we get while using, if clicked suggest how to fix? For instance with login, you click and it says would you like to logIn... like maybe even a little error icon, much like the "inbox" where it has a number in red showing how many errors you have and then when you click the icon it lists them allowing you to click on them and get suggestions.
