## Description

Bento Grid Gallery is a lightweight and powerful plugin that adds a new block to
the WordPress Gutenberg editor. It allows you to create modern, eye-catching photo
galleries without complex configurations, perfect for tourism portals and news articles
to avoid classic boring layouts.

**Key Features:**

 * **Desktop Layout “Bento Grid”:** Displays a dynamic composition with a large 
   main image on the left and a grid of secondary images on the right.
 * **Mobile Layout:** Fully responsive, adapts to your custom column settings.
 * **Customizable Columns & Height:** Manage desktop height, desktop columns, and
   mobile columns directly from the Gutenberg Inspector Controls.
 * **Advanced Lightbox:** Full-screen image viewing with navigation arrows and a
   bottom thumbnail strip for quick navigation (visible on both Desktop and Mobile).
 * **Native Management:** Uses the standard WordPress “Edit Gallery” interface for
   adding, removing, and reordering photos with native Drag & Drop.
 * **Performance Optimization:** Automatically loads appropriate image sizes (`large`
   for main, `medium_large` for secondary) to ensure fast loading speeds.
 * **“+X Photos” Counter:** If you upload more images than the visible grid allows,
   the last thumbnail automatically shows an overlay.
