Overview

• List of available plugins (Names)
  • Status - running, not running.
    • Running - plugins that are installed and loaded
    • Not Running - plugins that are installed but not loaded
  • The list items should be selectable
    • When selected a plugin, different options are available
      • Enable/Disable
      • Uninstall
      • Properties
• About (information box) - should contain about information. This is related to APP_PLUGIN_MANAGER_ABOUT_R0
