Description host 2007-05-06 13:23:24 UTC 
It is hard to see in the Plugin Manager when a certain plugin is deactivated -
the gray color of the deactivated plugin name is hard to distinguish from the
black one of the activated plugins.

I think a nice solution would be to introduce a new column that shows the
activation status of the plugin via a check box button. ...or at least the color
of the deactivated plugins should be changed to something distinguishable (like
red).

+1

I think that choosing some other background/foreground color combination will
the best way to solve this annoyance.
Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-05-21 10:36:04 UTC 
Renamed subcomponent 'module manager' to 'plugin manager' consistent with
current naming.
Comment 3 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-05-28 12:05:10 UTC 
Layout of Plugin Manager was changed by spec.
