Problem/Motivation

When enabling a custom display mode for an entity type, the status message shown says The [DISPLAY MODE] mode now uses custom display settings. You might want to configure them. This sentence is grammatically incorrect, as the subject of the sentence is the display mode, and the custom display settings are the object of the sentence. As the subject is the display mode, which is singular, using 'them' is grammatically incorrect. The correct grammar should be:

The [DISPLAY MODE] mode now uses custom display settings. You might want to configure it.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable the Field UI module
  2. Enable a custom view mode for any entity type
  3. Observe the incorrect grammar shown

Proposed resolution

Change the message to use correct grammar.
