 Re: SS 43986.2-plugin-list.PNG, I agree about the pink background; it's a
 bit much.

 Re: SS 43986.2-more-details.PNG, a couple of things.

 The SS depicts a warning. Giving them a "notice" seems more appropriate. I
 feel that a warning would only be warranted if the installation was
 actually allowed to proceed - ie, there was some sort of risk or danger.

 The text is a bit verbose. Does it need to say here that the plugin can't
 be installed? My feeling is the big disabled button communicates that
 chunk of the sentence in a place where users will more easily find it.
 That said, I couldn't pare the text down by much, but here's my thought:

 **Notice**: This plugin requires PHP X.x or later. Please contact your web
 host or site admin for assistance in upgrading.
