Description
Resizing error and warning icons
Currently the small "mod type" icons (git mod, local mod, steam mod, c# and xml) are smaller than the red error icon and the yellow warning triangle. I suggest the latter to be made smaller to promote visual unity. The icons are currently almost touching the top and bottom of the line, which I don't think looks particularly elegant.
Alternatives
Alternatively, one could make the small icons larger, but I like the size they have at the moment.
Another idea is to remove the triangle and errors completely and instead color the background red/yellow to indicate warning or errors. Perhaps the exclamation points could be kept.

Research direction
Start by locating the UI code that renders the red error icon, yellow warning triangle, and the smaller mod type icons for git, local, Steam, C# and XML. Compare their rendered sizes and adjust the warning and error icons so they align visually without touching the line bounds; verify the result in the affected mod list views.
