Make upgrade notice more obvious

[AndyX]

Please indicate this is a link to the upgrade page:

Hey there! I'm not completely sure what you'd like to see changed - if the server is set to have automatic updates configured, it will update during the next run overnight.

Are you saying you want the "Version "XXXX" is available" text to link to the WHM >> Upgrade to Latest Version page?

if the server is set to have automatic updates configured

Apparently my WHM/cPanel does not have auto updates enabled. I don't know what percentage of WHM/cPanel installs have auto update enabled, but I would think a vast majority. So that means as the admin it's up to me to update WHM/cPanel. So clicking on the red bell icon alerts me to look at the notice, I then see a new version is available, but having a notice with all black text makes it look like text only. Normally a link would be blue. Ideally the notice would be like this:

A new version of WHM/cPanel (Version 110.0.5) is available. Click here to go to the upgrade page.

"here" would be a blue link to the upgrade page.

Or you can simply move your mouse over it to see if it’s a link?

I did confirm it is already a link. I'm not sure it should be the standard blue there.

What if we added some words like "click here to see update options" or something like that?

That would be very helpful. Thank you, Rex.

Sounds good to me! I've created this request and I'll bring it up with the team next week:
