Summary0021980: Clearer display and colouring for message log
DescriptionWhen multiple messages appear at the right of the screen, they blend into each other and appear to be part of the same sentence because they are in the same box without any visual separation. Their also appear for a very short time, and are not color-coded for importance: an incoming wave has exactly the same text colour (white) as one of your command stations being destroyed.

All these factors cause players on streams to miss important notifications such as *AIP increasing due to instigator bases*, losing command stations and the like. Even the text for placing turrets blends into that notification box, and is actually colored to be more visible than all the important stuff you're missing!

I think we need:
- individual border for each message
- message coloring according to importance, possibly text size too
- messages to either stick around until dismissed or a max number of displayed messages is reached
- a full log where players can consult past events they may have missed
TagsNo tags attached.

I believe this is going to be rolled into the Journaling code, which is already planned
