Hmm... Write a feature ticket about it and we will see. You can always
remove your events manually so you don't need to see them ever again.

Subsurface doesn't add any accent speed alarms. They come from your
dive computer. Ex. A Suunto Vyper logs accent speed alarms even in Gauge
mode, so your computer is probably doing that to.

Again, write a feature ticket about it and it might happen. Its probably
not that common that users likes such a "feature" and it might just be
clogging up the preferences panel, but hey, we can always think about
it.

Its drawn at the same resolution, just with a thicker pen. The color
becomes imperceptible with a thinner pen.

I tested to shrink the temperature graph and the cylinder pressure graph
and none of them became readable with a thinner pen.


Maybe in black and white mode, but hey, i like colours =)
