## Description

**Admin Order Notes & Status Highlighter** improves the WooCommerce admin experience
by adding visual color highlights to order notes and order status indicators. This
makes important updates easier to spot, reduces oversight, and helps store administrators
quickly identify notes or statuses that require attention.

This plugin is designed for WooCommerce store owners, fulfillment teams, and administrators
who manage many orders and want a clearer, more efficient workflow. All highlights
are applied automatically—no settings configuration is required.

### ✨ Features

 * Highlight **order notes** with custom background colors
 * Color-coded styling for **WooCommerce order status badges**
 * Automatically enhances order list & order edit screens
 * Lightweight and performance-friendly (CSS-only, no JavaScript)
 * No configuration needed — works instantly after activation
 * Compatible with most WooCommerce admin customizers and themes

### 🛒 WooCommerce Requirement

This plugin requires **WooCommerce** to be installed and active.

WooCommerce stores with high order volumes often miss important notes like:

Color-highlighting helps administrators quickly process orders with improved clarity.
