## Coloured PM Rows (from v1.25)
New private messages appear in **red**. The colour fades every 30 seconds from yellow to white like a rainbow fade. This makes it immediately clear how recent a message is.
New incoming private messages use a series of green age highlights. The green becomes progressively more muted as the message gets older:
| Message age | Display |
|---|---|
| up to and including 30 seconds | first green level |
| 31 to 60 seconds | second green level |
| 61 to 90 seconds | third green level |
| 91 to 120 seconds | fourth green level |
| 121 to 180 seconds | fifth green level |
| 181 to 300 seconds | sixth green level |
| from 301 seconds | normal table colour |
The table refreshes the age display every five seconds, so a boundary may become visible only during the next refresh. No age class remains attached after five minutes; reused and empty table rows also return to their normal style.
Messages sent by the local station retain their separate highlight and do not use the green age scale.

For individual colour adjustments: edit the CSS file (path in the program settings).
The green private-message age scale remains available in both designs. Text colour, normal table colour and the separate highlight for locally sent messages follow the selected built-in design.
