## Descrizione

This plugins provides custom admin bar colors to differentiate environments (staging,
preprod, production). It’s really **easy to use** and **developer-friendly**.

The plugin provides a settings screen which several options:

 * choose between several color predefined schemes.
 * use a favicon to better differentiate your environments in your browser’s tabs.
 * add a custom message in your admin bar, like “Production website”, “staging version”
   or whatever your want.
 * choose the user roles that will see the color scheme (other roles will see the
   default admin bar).

It also offers few PHP constants you can use in your `wp-config.php` file (see Frequently
Asked Questions below).

Since WordPress Core will probably deprecate alternate admin color schemes in mid-
term, this plugin is meant to be use by those who rely on colors to know is they
are in staging, preproduction or production environment.

Last but not least, all provided color schemes are accessibility-ready!

Works as expected, would be great if compatibility with recent Wordpress versions
were checked, since it's a really useful and simple plugin. Thanks!

This is so much appreciated, I built my own very bad version of this and ran with
it for years. It works exactly as I hoped it would. Thanks!

Such a great helper! It gives me the safety to know exactly which environment I 
work on without having to worry. Sometimes things look just alike in your DEV, STAGE
and PROD environment. And with this little plugin, it is immediately obvious which
environment you work in. And it also works on WP 5.6 – just checked…

 [Pedro Mendonça](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pedromendonca/) 5 Febbraio 2020

Really enjoy this plugin. It’s simple and well integrated with WordPress admin UI.
I really like the optional configuration through wp-config.php. After configuring
it once in wp-config.php, I won’t ever need to reconfigure because it doesn’t loose
settings on importing settings (eg. staging <-> production). Great job @audrasjb!
