Re: Colour for evaluation score
In Engine info panel, scores in red means they have been decreasing, blue - increasing.
For graphs, their colours are set in Settings. They could be colours of engines or customised.
There is a bug on setting Score for White side and it has been fixed for the next release. Thanks for the report!

Re: Time control error. Timeleft. Version 0.54 beta
wtime is the total time the white side can use to compute a move. If an engine uses more time than that value, it will lose by time.
winc is the amount of adding time that will be added to the time left AFTER making that move.
I think engines typically consider only wtime/btime and ignore winc/binc.
