The Environment Indicator adds a coloured strip to the side of the site informing you which environment you're currently in (Development, Staging, Production etc). This is incredibly useful if you have multiple environments for each of your sites, and like me, are prone to forgetting which version of the site you are currently looking at!
This module can help you avoid making configuration changes to your live server by mistake, by adding a coloured strip to the side of your site, clearly marking each version of the site.
The Environment Indicator settings page allows you to modify some elements of the indicator's behaviour and appearance. Individual settings, such as the text to display and the colour can be overridden for each of your specific environments in the site's settings.php file. This allows you to customise the indicator for each of your environments without needing to make any changes in the database. This means that the Environment Indicator will always display correctly when moving your site from development to staging to production.

Sweet - I usually just modify the site logo, but this means that I can easily integrate this into my development environment without changing the site at all.

I like it
I was going to do something like this - I was doing it using a bit of theme code.
I was thinking this might be well rolled into devel module and even chatted with moshe about it - and he was open. It does seem like you'd get a wider audience that way.
Thanks for doing it! I'm happy. Looking forward to trying it out.
