Solution found: to see errors in the Compile Errors tab the following steps should be done:

I believe that is the default board set up by Altium. In order to change its size and/or shape, press the "1" key (to switch to board view) and go to Design-> Edit Board Shape as @brhans suggested. You should be able to change the shape from there. Make sure you leave some material around the outside--The manufacturer needs to be able to route out around your boards in order for them to be broken out of the panel. Generally I recommend leaving about 1/2 inch if you can. Check your manufacturer to see what board size they recommend and go from there.

You can make the rectangles any color you want, with any color border you want and any of several (four) border width selections. See below (dialog from Properties):
There are 256 colors available, with selectable swatches, including 16 custom colors that you can specify in 8-bit per color RGB or 8-bit per parameter HSL (Hue-Saturation-Luminance) format.
