How to differentiate environments more easily

 

When bouncing between all the Contour environments, prod, pre-prod, and dev, I sometimes get confused as to which environment I'm currently in.  Yes, I can look at the URL to figure it out, but I was really wondering if there's a property in one of the .css files that can be modified between each environment, so that I can more easily key off of something in the Contour screen?  I've been looking through the .css files but haven't been able to locate a good setting.  I'm really looking for a common control that is throughout the app so that I can have say "prod = normal color", "development = red", etc...  Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks!

Re: How to differentiate environments more easily

Great idea - we've added to our roadmap a system property that can be used to specify the instance name and display on the login screen.  You could do this today by modifying the messages.properties file, but then you'd need to remember to edit that after each update.  Storing it in the properties in the database is a better long term solution.
