+
+Perfect! Now the UI layout is much better organized with rows instead of columns. Here's what the new layout provides:
+
+## ✅ **Improved Row-Based Layout:**
+
+1. **Row 1: Library Name & Status**
+ - Shows the library filename
+ - Displays "MISSING:" in red with ERROR icon for broken links
+ - Shows FILE_BLEND icon for valid libraries
+
+2. **Row 2: Full File Path**
+ - Uses the full width of the sidebar
+ - Shows the complete filepath with FILE_FOLDER icon
+ - No more cramped text that gets cut off
+
+3. **Row 3: Open Button**
+ - Dedicated row for the open button
+ - Full width available for the button
+ - Clear visual separation
+
+## �� **Benefits of This Layout:**
+
+- **Better Readability** - File paths are no longer cramped
+- **Full Width Usage** - Makes better use of the sidebar space
+- **Clearer Organization** - Each piece of information has its own row
+- **Easier Scanning** - Users can quickly see library status and paths
+- **Professional Appearance** - Clean, organized interface
+
+Now when you scan your scene, each linked library will be displayed in a clean, easy-to-read format that makes full use of the sidebar width!

+Perfect! Now the UI will provide much more prominent visual feedback for missing libraries:

+
+- **Missing Libraries**:
+ - Entire box has a red tint (`sub_box.alert = True`)
+ - Library name shows "MISSING:" with ERROR icon
+ - Open button uses ERROR icon
+ - **The whole box background will be highlighted in red**
+
+- **Valid Libraries**:
+ - Normal box appearance
+ - Library name with FILE_BLEND icon
+ - Open button with FILE_BLEND icon
+
+## 🎨 **What This Achieves:**
+
+The `alert = True` property on Blender UI boxes creates a distinctive red tint that makes missing libraries immediately stand out. This is much more effective than just changing icons because:
+
+1. **Entire Box Highlighted** - The whole container gets a red background tint
+2. **Clear Visual Separation** - Missing vs existing libraries are instantly distinguishable
+3. **Professional Appearance** - Uses Blender's built-in alert styling system
+4. **Consistent with Blender UI** - Follows Blender's design patterns for warnings/errors
+
+Now when you scan your scene, missing libraries will have a prominent red-tinted box that makes them impossible to miss!
