  • Very handy

    Thanks a lot for publishing and maintaining it. I'd only wish it would jump right at me by coloring the whole bar instead of a corner of the screen.

  • Useful for developers like us

    I'm like the author. I sometimes change admin color, but can never remember what color I set for Prod vs Dev.

  • Essential plugin when working in multiple environments

    Super handy if you are click-happy with your mouse like me. Red "Prod" badge in admin bar is effective way to prevent you from accidentally messing up the production
