Envbar allows you to differentiate between environments by adding a custom colored bar above the top navigation. This should help backend users to identify the environment ( e.g local, develop, staging, production ) and prevent anyone from accidentally changing content on the wrong environment.

Features
- Enable or disable plugin temporarily.
- Enable plugin for Superusers only.
- Start with pre-defined environments (
development,staging,production). - Add additional environments and choose the color of the bar.
The full plugin documentation is available here.
