This isn't a problem, just a suggestion.

I thought it might be useful to add status information of some sort (perhaps next to the "Up to date/Out of date" icons for Joomla and AdminTools) which identifies the status of the default tables prefix and administrator id.

At the moment you have to first understand what those are about then click into their pages to fix the issue (and be told if you are on the default settings so less secure). I just thought it might be handy to have that flagged up on the homepage as a nice big icon to make it more likely that people will actually follow through and apply those fixes.

I would argue that before you apply these features, you had better read the documentation very well, so that you are perfectly sure that you do want to use them and they won't cause a problem with your installed software. That's why there is no status icon about them. Having icons flashing right on your face would most likely make you click them and carry out the process without reading the documentation or the on-screen warnings (which seem to be rendered with invisible ink on the screen, otherwise I can't understand why nobody coming here for support seems to have ever read them). Therefore, I chose the path of least screw ups ;)
