Staging Environment - Different Background Colour

It would be great if the white was replaced with a light green or red so it is clearer that user is in staging vs admin environment. I would assume it would be possible to code this attribute into the site, so it automatically updates the background colour when uploaded to staging based on the URL prefix of stg instead of admin.

  YES, YES, YES ........ 

  We have only just launched our LIVE site but I am constantly having to double check I am on the right site before I make changes. I am running reports and can't work out why the right data isn't coming out.   I know the tab are different but when you always have both sites open across multiple tabs it would be far more efficient to be able to see at a glance a soft coloured background to indicate that it was staging.    

  If I have both open, one on each screen I forget if LIVE is on my right or left screen and as you don't need to click a browser tab you don't even realise you may be on the wrong site.  It is not natural to check the tab colour each time, screen yes, tab no. 

  It will definitely stop errors and mistakes occurring among our 100 users!

  Yes I had given up on the idea and now log in and out of LIVE or STAGING to avoid confusion. If the different colour for Staging was possible it would be a huge benefit and time saver.
