 The new auto updates feature for plugins and themes is very useful, but I
 found it was not easy to discover after updating to 5.5 beta. The feature
 doesn't have a place where it "pops" into users eyes. At least it didn't
 in mine.

 == Plugins

 - Great: Having everything in one column
 - Not so great: Not having a clear differentiator between plugins I opted
 in and plugins I have opted out.

 == Themes

 - Not so great: having to go into each single theme
 - Bad: having a text with the same color of the theme author name (and in
 smaller font) right under it.

 == Ideas

 - Have the design team review the UI
 - Have a call-out widget in the Dashboard
 - Have a call-out widget in the Updates screen
 - Have a call-out widget in the Theme screen, potentially with a button to
 bulk enable/disable
 - Turn the theme "Enable/Disable Auto-Updates" into a button in the lower
 part of the theme modal where "Activate/Live Preview/etc..." buttons live.
