I understand the special status of this application window, and I  
empathise with the attempt to draw attention to it.

However, the text is marginally harder to read, and I fail to believe  
colouring it red provides any meaningful extra information to a  
developer or user. I feel it also manages to look surprisingly like  
some sort of bug itself.
