## Description

**Dlogix Smart Reading Bar** adds a thin, animated progress bar to the top (or bottom)
of every page on your WordPress site, giving readers a visual indicator of how far
they have scrolled.

**Features:**

 * Choose any bar color with the native color picker — no extra library needed.
 * Position the bar at the top or bottom of the screen.
 * Set bar thickness from 1 px to 20 px.
 * Live preview in the settings page before saving.
 * Buttery-smooth animation via `requestAnimationFrame` and passive scroll listeners.
 * Zero dependencies — no jQuery, no external libraries, no CDN calls.
 * Fully accessible: ARIA `role="progressbar"` with live `aria-valuenow` updates.
 * Multisite compatible.
 * Clean uninstall — removes all plugin data when deleted.
 * PHP 7.2+ compatible.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `dlogix-smart-reading-bar` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress Admin.
 3. Go to **Settings  Smart Progress Bar** to customise the bar color, position, and
    thickness.

## FAQ

### Does the plugin slow down my site?

No. The plugin enqueues one tiny CSS file and one tiny JS file (each under 2 KB),
uses a passive scroll listener, and throttles updates with `requestAnimationFrame`.
There are no external HTTP requests.

### Which pages show the progress bar?

By default the bar appears on all public-facing pages. It is automatically hidden
in the admin area, feeds, embeds, and REST API responses.

### Is the plugin compatible with block themes and FSE?

Yes. The plugin hooks into `wp_body_open` for modern themes, with an automatic fallback
via `the_content` for older themes that do not call that hook.

### Does it work with page builders?

Yes — the bar is injected into the page regardless of which page builder you use,
as long as the theme properly calls WordPress template hooks.

### Will my data be deleted if I uninstall the plugin?

Yes. All plugin settings are removed from the database when you delete (not just
deactivate) the plugin. This works on both single-site and multisite installs.
