Differentiate your CRM Live and Test environment

Guy Riddle has a nice feature on his blog that shows how to differentiate your CRM Live and Test system.

I work a lot with two instances of CRM (Live and Test environment) and sometimes this is confusing. By modifying the global.css file, you can change the colors of Dynamics CRM (Not Supported by Microsoft).

!!! When you upgrade/re-install/repair your system you may need to reapply this change you are about to make, so you have to make a copy of the original file and a copy of the modified file.

To make this change you will need to modify the 'GLOBAL.CSS' file.
This is located in your \CRMWeb\_common\styles folder on your CRM server. This file can be edited with Notepad.

Locate the following section:
body.stage{background-color: #acc0e9;padding: 10px;}

and modify the colour (I.e. replace #acc0e9)


Guy has also a nice post about adding your company logo to Dynamics CRM
