 * Thanks for a great plugin! I have been trying to figure out a way to colorize
   posts by status, so that they are easily recognizable when looking through the
   All Posts list. I found a plugin called Color Admin Posts that has helped, but
   only on some of the default statuses (Draft, Pending, Private, Future, Published).
   I’d like to expand these to include the custom statuses that are generated by
   the Edit Flow plugin. How can I identify the custom statuses in the code so that
   I can try to change their background color, like this: [http://screencast.com/t/FgFHSly66](http://screencast.com/t/FgFHSly66)
 * Thanks for any

 * Yep, it should be pretty easy to do. Each table row has a “status-slug” class
   where “slug” is the slug of your custom status. You can stylize the entire table
   row with something like this (untested):
 *     ```
       add_action( 'admin_head', 'efx_custom_status_css' );
       function efx_custom_status_css() {
       	global $pagenow;
       	if ( 'edit.php' != $pagenow )
       		return;
       	?>
       	table.wp-list-table tr.status-pitch {
       		background-color: red;
       	}
       	<?php
       }
       ```
   
 * Obviously you’ll want to change the CSS a bit 🙂
 * Hope this helps!
