FMS Data Manager Manage your Addons
The main interface, the Addon List, is where you see all your mapped addons. A mapped addon is an addon that the software has been able to locate on your system, which also entails that it has mapped a path to its data folder. The addons in this list can be updated, backed up or restored from backup, either individually or in bulk using the buttons above the list. The color coding provides a visual overview of each addon's data status: green (latest revision installed), orange (old revision installed), purple (data installed from backup), grey (no data installed).

Addon Mappings Addon Mappings
The Addon Mappings section, the second button in the toolbar, is where you can scan, manually add, or delete addon mappings. Scanning will find the most common addons and tools, but if it fails to find an addon you may add it manually using the Add button. Just select the addon from the list of supported ones, and select its data folder. Pressing Remove of course doesn't remove you addon, only the mapping in the FMS Data Manager.

Why not switch to a visual theme from the flight deck? You'll find the setting in Settings -> Interface.

Mac support Mac support
The FMS Data Manager runs on Mac where it will manage data for your X-Plane addons.

When you start the FMS Data Manager on Mac it will ask you to specify the path to your X-Plane installation. If you do, its addons can be automatically detected and setup. You can also setup the path to a FS9 or FSX installation if you have shared its root folder from a Windows machine. In this way, you can use a Mac system to manage your FS9/FSX addons.
