When working with multiple WebMethods environments (dev, test, prod), it can be confusing to know which one your currently administering.

Be Careful Have you ever accidently changed something in Test when you thought you were in dev, or worse, changed something in Prod when you thought you were in dev?

A way to fix this is to modify the colours of the admin screen. We modify the topbar colour to indicate the environment we're in.

Production = red
Test = brown
Dev = blue (the default)

The following css snippet, from the webMethods.css file shows you where to make this change.

.topbar
	{
	padding-left: 0px;
	padding-right: 0px;
	padding-top: 0px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	background-color: <your colour here>;
	border-top: none;
	border-right: 1px solid #042F70;
	border-left: 1px solid #0F5CCF;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #042F70;
	}

the following screenshot shows an example of the topbar being brown.
