Description

Would it be possible to make the colour of warning messages different from the colour of error messages? Say yellow instead of red. I often get warnings about things in third party libraries that don't prevent them from working ok, but because they look the same as errors as they flash past me on the screen, I have to scroll back and look at them. I know this is not a big problem, but if it was easy to fix in the next release, that would be nice.

Research direction

Start by locating where the Arduino IDE displays warning and error messages, since the issue names no file or test. The work is done when warnings and errors are visibly distinguishable, with warnings using a different colour such as yellow.
