I don't want such upgrades to happen automatically because there are people who want to be conservative in upgrading and not necessarily grabbing the latest as soon as it is available. This was the best compromise I could think of to keep the user informed without having plugins disappearing without them knowing why.

The problem is that I already use grey for disabled plugins. Or do you want a compromise of the red icon with grey text?

Okay. Cool. It seems like you have all angles coverd, with both a visual cue and an explanation.

As an end-user, red would catch my attention more than blue, although I do understand your point of it being a non-critical issue.
Since you will be using blue, please make sure there is a color key added somewhere where the average end-user is likely to read it.
Thank you both so much for all of your hard work! I can not put into words my appreciation for Calibre, its team of developers and those who volunteer their talents. Thank You.
