MessageQueue: wrapper to show info messages in their own thread. Right now 2 simple modes are included: modal mode and outlookstyle. The latter scrolling up the message from the bottom right corner.
The modal style really only is in for some backward compatibility in another project, but the scroll up mode is the main goal. It's a simple way to show more or less important messages without interrupting the main program or to show messages received from a server.
As it is build now the message push each other up until the screen is filled, then filled up again only if messages are closed. At the moment no timer is implemented for closing a message, but that can be implemented easily enough in the MessageForm class
