Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
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).
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!
