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!

1.8 has finally fixed all anchoring bugs that I've seen. BigRed's positioning is entirely consistent now.

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.
