I turned off those bubbles the first time I saw them. I read my all my errors and warning in the build window. You get black text on a white background. Does that not work for you?


I don't think there's a way to configure the font and appearance in the build window though.

Well, I actually find the bubble quite useful because you can scroll quickly through the file and the errors jump out at you - I just can't read them. The red lines in the scrollbar would be useful but they're nearly always way off in position. Due to the changes in symbol visibility in Leopard, we get something like 4000 errors every time we link against some thirdparty libraries, so the build transcript is not an easy place to find errors any more. I always like that message "Build succeeded: 4000 errors".

I don't like the bubbles and find it convenient to double-click from the build results window. I no longer have 4000+ errors but can see where the bubbles would be useful for your situation. If you want to file a bug, I believe you'd have a better case if it was based on legibility concerns related to the HIG or Accessibility Guidelines rather than an "Xcode make me feel silly" kind of remark.
