When a mod doesn't have a dependency met and is disabled, when deleting it, the name is greyed out due to being disabled (as expected), but a red strikethrough is placed over it which is a bit confusing as to what it is indicating. Normally, the strikethrough is grey when deleting a disabled mod, it only shows red when that mod doesn't meet a dependency. The strikethrough should be grey to match the text as being a disabled mod.

The strikethrough means it is marked for deletion. When the game restarts, that mod will no longer be in the list, so really, having the strikethrough be grey has no value (and would be harder to see).

The strikethrough is normally grey when deleting disabled mods. It only shows red in cases where a dependency is not met which makes little sense in the context of marking a mod for deletion.

Ah, thanks for the clarification and edit to your initial post with that information.

With that, this indeed would seem like a bug.

That said, I actually think it would be good if the strike-through was always red, disabled or not, as it'd make scrolling through and spotting the things I've marked for deletion easier. There have been times where I've marked something for deletion and then before committing the change (restarting the game) I change my mind and then have to go back through and try and find it (and don't always remember the name of it). Grey on grey isn't always the easiest for me to see.

Thanks for the report. Strike-through rendering uses the font color and in this case the font color is red so it renders red. I don't consider that worth changing.
