Comment:
I would rather avoid a new UI convention for PHP errors for now. What this
does is it takes ownership of the warnings/errors, when in reality, they
are usually not the fault of core WordPress.
It would be like having a spinner or throbber that uses the WordPress
symbol (which has been proposed before). It's cool and all, but when the
Ajax request hangs or takes a while, it's causing them to associate the
failure with WordPress, when that may not the case. (Preemptively: Yes,
WP.com does this in some places, but WP.com not always a good example of
user experience.)
It's also just not a very big need, especially for the average user who
will simply see errors and not have a clue what to do about them.
(Especially errors that point to lines in core that are actually caused by
a plugin or theme, or similar issues.) It is pretty cool code and would
make a good plugin (or some of the underlying functionality could be used
to improve the Debug Bar).
The notices hiding behind the toolbar have bothered me for a while. I'm
going to modify the padding.
