## Description

Your WordPress admin menu doesn’t have to be plain. **ZCBRG Admin Color Labels**
lets every user put their personal stamp on the admin sidebar — color-code menus
for instant recognition, highlight the items that matter most, match your brand,
or simply make the dashboard a place you enjoy working in. Choose custom background
and text colors, borders, and icons for each menu and submenu item — all per user,
with zero impact on your visitors or other admins.

#### Features

 * **Per-menu colors** — Set a background and foreground color for any top-level
   admin menu
 * **Per-submenu colors** — Customize individual submenu items too
 * **Apply to Submenus** — One click copies a menu’s colors to all its submenu items
 * **Borders** — Add colored outer borders and inner highlight shadows to any menu
   item, with per-side colors and corner radius
 * **Menu icons** — Replace any menu or submenu dashicon with another from a searchable
   picker
 * **Built-in Iris color picker** — WordPress’s own color wheel with hex input
 * **20-color premade palette** — WordPress admin tones + soft pastels
 * **Per-user settings** — Each admin customizes their own experience
 * **Reset all** — One click restores defaults, item by item or all at once
 * **No external dependencies** — Just pure WordPress

#### Who is it for?

 * WordPress site administrators who want to personalize their admin
 * Agencies managing multiple sites who want visual distinction
 * Users with specific color preferences or accessibility needs
 * Anyone who wants their admin menus to look more organized with color cues

## FAQ

### Are my changes visible to other users?

No. Each user customizes their own colors. Changes are stored per user in WordPress
user meta.

### Can I reset individual items?

Yes. Each menu item that has custom colors shows a small ✕ button next to it. Click
it to clear that item’s colors.

### Can I reset everything?

Yes. Click the **Reset All** button at the top of the settings page to clear all
your customizations.

### Does this work with plugins that add admin menus?

Yes! The plugin reads the actual `$menu` and `$submenu` WordPress globals, so any
menu item added by any plugin will appear on the settings page and can be customized.

### Will this slow down my admin?

No. The plugin only outputs a small inline `<style>` block on admin pages. If no
colors are customized, nothing is output at all.

### Does this affect the frontend of my site?

No. The plugin only runs in the WordPress admin area.
