NMEA Debug Window Color Coding

[torrmundi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The color coding of messages in the NMEA Debug Window has two colors that are virtually indistiguishable (black, for Message accepted, and burgundy, for Input message filtered and dropped).

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to change the burgundy to another color that is readily distinguished from all the other colors used. Since currently no green is used, maybe RGB 0,255,0 or 0,128,0 would be good.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I used a magnifying glass and increased my screen brightness to maximum.

Since the green color commonly is used for "good", perhaps it would be better to change "Message accepted" to green ( 0,128,0) and if required also modify "Input Message filtered and dropped" to something else like black?

If I make a patch, are you willing to test it?

[torrmundi]

Sure., I’ll test it. My primary concern is being able to tell the colors apart easily. Bright sunlight is the worst condition, but at night with dimmed display can also be tough. Do we have any other color codes in OpenCPN? I can’t think of any we ascribe meaning to like the message status. John

I'll see when I find some time. Please stay tuned.

Do we have any other color codes in OpenCPN?

None I'm aware of.
