Add custom background colors to post rows in the WordPress admin, with support for quick and bulk editing.

== Description ==

Do you find it hard to quickly locate specific content in a long list of posts or pages? **Mxwlsoft Post Row Colors** lets you assign a custom background color to each post or page row in the WordPress admin list table. This helps you visually organize, distinguish, and highlight content.

**Key features:**

*   **Color-coded rows** – Set a different background color for each post/page row. Instantly spot what matters.
*   **10 built-in colors** – Choose from soft red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, light gray, or white.
*   **Easy to use**:
    *   In the post editor, use the “Background Color” panel in the sidebar.
    *   In the list table, use **Quick Edit** to change the color inline.
    *   Use **Bulk Edit** to apply the same color to multiple posts at once.
*   **No configuration** – Activate and it works immediately. No settings page needed.

**Use cases:**

*   Mark important, pending, or featured posts.
*   Visually group content by category, author, or status (e.g., green = published, yellow = needs update, red = needs review).
*   Quickly spot specific entries in personal blogs or business websites.
