UI Improvements

Standardize and distinguish background color of content vs. headings

Change scroll bar in the event logger to scroll just the events, do not scroll the event headings

Use more redundancy to identify the difference between information, error, etc. Since the operator needs to gather this info quickly, use standardized symbols behind the written identifier.

Allow users to customize their view of the information

change around columns

change around windows

close columns & windows that they don't want to view
