- Why does your addon change the color of the theme's borders without users permission?
- Everything should be off by default: it's up to user what he want to enable
'HeadsUp Warnings' is designed to help users avoid common mistakes by visually highlighting potentially destructive settings. It overlays important warnings in the 3D viewport and compositor, ensuring users stay informed about settings that might impact their workflow. With color-coded UI borders and direct on-screen messages, this add-on provides real-time feedback to help prevent accidental errors before they cause problems.
It comes with 45+ conditions to be warned about, each can be toggled via the Addon Preferences. Many warnings are only popping up when the relevant context applies. For example, Edit-Mode specific warnings will only show while being in Edit-Mode.
With HeadsUp Warnings, you can work more confidently in Blender, reducing mistakes and improving efficiency.
This addon should make and keep you aware of odd settings. Some of those are often applied willingly, but are very easy to forget about, therefore leading to mistakes.

Thanks for your feedback.
The addon does exactly what it says in the description, including >temporary< highlighting of the UI border color. Resolving the warning, turning off the addon or switching off the border highlights in the addon preferences, all these actions restore your original theme color. It's temporary and non destructive.
I believe that how the defaults are now, it is the most useful to the average user. Importantly it can warn the user about problems they don't even know about, hence wouldn't enable when they configure the addon from a "everything off" default.
