Improving LESS Error Messages #3

When typing LESS code, the CSS is instantly compiled. However, this means that we show error messages way too often.

I'd like to suggest the following logic:

When the LESS has an error, we show the error message in a different label, and keep the compiled CSS output on the screen.

Additionally, we might consider "throttling" the error message updates, because it might be too distracting to keep "flashing" error messages.

Also, perhaps we could set a slight opacity on the CSS, to indicate that it's invalid.

Good ideas. I agree the flashing isn't good UI. I'll play around with these suggestions when I get a moment. Feel free to do this same.
