Messages

Section titled “Messages”

The messages section displays messages produced by the system.

The envelope icon () on the right side of the command line changes color to indicate new messages in the message center.
The icon is displayed in the color of the new message with the highest priority.

A number underneath the envelope icon indicates the number of new messages, except spam messages.

The categories for messages are:

  • System
  • Command Line
  • Power
  • MA-Net
  • USB
  • Chat

Messages have different priorities.

  • Spam (green): Information about internal system processes that generally don’t require user activity or input.
  • Warning (yellow): Information that is important and should be taken care of.
  • Error (brown): Information on invalid actions and malfunctions in the software.
  • Alert (red): Information on critical events. Messages in the alert category generally require immediate action.
