Describe the bug
The color for errors in the console is the same as the "normal" font color. Errors are not obviously displayed.

Also the editor font size is not applied from the preferences.txt.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Generate a compilation error and check the console output

Expected behavior
I expected that the errors are displayed in an obvious way.

Additional context
I also added the following line in C:\Users\sherzog\AppData\Local\Arduino15 (is this the the correct path at all?):
console.error.color=#ff8c00

Thanks for taking the time to submit an issue @alve89 .

I see we already have a prior issue report about this at #229.

It's best to have only a single issue per subject so we can consolidate all relevant discussion to one place, so I'll go ahead and close this in favor of the other.

If you end up with additional information to share, feel free to comment in the other thread.

Also the editor font size is not applied from the preferences.txt.

This is expected. Arduino IDE 2.x is a complete rewrite of the Arduino IDE. It does not use preferences.txt. You can set the font size in File > Preferences > Editor font size.
