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.

Examples of how to override settings in settings.php:

environment_indicator_text
The text that will be displayed vertically down the indicator. e.g:
$conf['environment_indicator_text'] = 'DEVELOPMENT SERVER';
environment_indicator_color
A valid css color. e.g:
$conf['environment_indicator_color'] = 'darkred';
environment_indicator_enabled
A boolean value indicating whether the Environment Indicator should be enabled or not. On your production environment, you should probably set this to FALSE. e.g:
$conf['environment_indicator_enabled'] = FALSE;

The Environment Indicator's visibility depends upon the permissions of the viewer (access environment indicator).
