+
+Great idea! Let me add red highlighting for missing libraries in the blend info section. I'll use Blender's `alert` property to make the status text red when libraries are missing:

+Perfect! Now the status information will be visually highlighted:
+
+## **What Changed:**
+
+1. **Missing Libraries**: Status row will be highlighted in red (`row.alert = True`)
+2. **Indirect Missing Libraries**: Status row will also be highlighted in red
+3. **OK Libraries**: Status row remains normal (no highlighting)
+
+## **Visual Result:**
+
+- **MISSING status**: Red background highlighting to draw attention
+- **INDIRECT MISSING status**: Red background highlighting for dependencies issues
+- **OK status**: Normal appearance for healthy libraries
+
+This makes it much easier for users to quickly identify problematic libraries at a glance. The red highlighting will make missing or problematic libraries stand out prominently in the blend info section, improving the user experience when troubleshooting linked library issues.

+Perfect! Now the entire info box will be highlighted in red when there are issues:
+
+## **What Changed:**
+
+1. **Entire Box Highlighting**: The whole info box gets `alert = True` when:
+   - Library is missing (`selected_lib.is_missing`)
+   - Library has indirect missing dependencies (`selected_lib.has_indirect_missing`)
+
+2. **Removed Individual Row Highlighting**: No need for `row.alert = True` since the entire box is now highlighted
+
+3. **Cleaner Visual Hierarchy**: The entire problematic library section stands out prominently
+
+## **Visual Result:**
+
+- **Missing Libraries**: Entire info box with red background
+- **Indirect Missing Libraries**: Entire info box with red background  
+- **OK Libraries**: Normal info box appearance
+
+This makes it much easier for users to quickly spot problematic libraries at a glance. The entire box being red will draw immediate attention to any libraries that need attention, whether they're missing files or have dependency issues.
