 deactivated plugins to using different background colors.

 It is still very hard to see the difference and there has been some
 feedback on the testers list.

 "I don't know if I would call this a bug per-se, but the color contrast
 between the plugin-activated and plugin-deactivated is not noticeable
 enough. It's hard to tell which ones are active and which ones aren't
 without looking at the activate/deactivate link."

 "I still think the ACTIVATED plugins should have the darker grey
 background color, all plugins that aren't activated could be white...
 but, that's just me so.. * shrug *"

 "I actually like the plugin page - clean and crisp. But it's high near
 impossible to see the difference working in bright sunlight. And that
 goes for quite a lot of the soft blues."

 "I do have a small issue concerning how the plugin list looks.

 I am used to the being able to see for certain when a plugin was activated
 -- because it was green.  Now it is really confusing because an activated
 plugin now has a white background -- which is kind of backwards.

 I think the activated plugin should have the color in the background.
 That
 way a person naturally assumes it is activated from a quick glance."
