Adjust boundaries for green/ orange/ red errors

Currently the green light indicates errors from .01 - .39, and orange kicks in for errors over .40 - and I'm not sure when the red boundary is. I don't find this particularly helpful, as I don't really consider anything below .2 an error to worry about, but I would like to know about errors over .2.
I guess I have got used to the boundaries on other sites, so apologies if this all sounds am bit pernickety. I believe most use .2 as the threshold for errors, and .8 as the threshold for blunders - can I suggest you use these settings for orange and red? I am not sure what the equivalent figures are for cube errors. I would drop the green light altogether as I find it distracting.

Sam Rich (samkampala) pretty sure from memory the colours come from the gnubg classification of okay, doubtful, bad and very bad which come through as strings. I've never looked what EQ they correspond to.

Alfie Kirkpatrick [Developer] Hi Alfie, interesting to hear where they come from. After some googling I found out that Snowie and XG use .2 as the threshold for an error and .8 as a threshold for blunders. Here's a link to XG on thresholds - https://www.extremegammon.com/Searchinterval.aspx
