Hey TriAnthony​ ,

This looks amazing and is something we were looking for. Would it also be possible to give a warning-popup instead of grey-ing/removing buttons? I want to inform/warn our designers about best practices and the results of not following them, but I do not want to limit their design proces.

    Hi HamzaJ​,

    Thanks for the feedback! That’s a great idea, I’ll make sure to include it in the next version of the plugin. Let me know if you have any other suggestions!

      Hi HamzaJ​,

      I've updated the plugin to allow a third mode "warn", which will show a pop-up warning instead of disabling/removing the UI elements. I'll update the article soon, but I thought I’d send you a copy of the plugin in advance (attached below).

      There are a few more configurations that I added, all of them are documented in the config.js file.

      Please let me know if you have any feedback. Thank you!

      Example of the pop-up warning:

        Excellent work TriAnthony​ . Tested it and it works great with the warning. Kudos :)
