    Hello,

    I need a way to identify different environments. For example: Production vs Quality Vs Development using both text and color in the dynamics screen toolbar. 

    Something like the following:

    Anyone has any ideas on how I can do this ?

    Hi,

    You can change colors in the forms by havinf css web resources.

    What you are looking for is unsupported. You can change the colors by modifying the CRM core css files.

    Please go to your Dynamics CRM (I am assuming you have CRM 2011) installation folder. There go to the styles folder.

    In my case the folder location is: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\_common\styles". There you will see the file "global.css". Change the CSS there (give the color there). That will do the trick, but it should be unsupported. In future releases or Roll Up updates, the "global.css" file can get replaced and updated. This will replace your changes and again you will have to do your color changes.So it is definitely unsupported, but in case you are going to make the color change, take a backup of this file and document your changes.

    I hope this helps. If my response answered your question, please mark the response as an answer and also vote as helpful.

    I think there is no customization that would support that type of change, as you are looking to overrid a specific stylesheet entry off main.aspx.  The style you are looking to override would be Div.ms-crm-TopBarContainerGlobal which is in them.css.aspx. 

    You could also look into creating a plug in that changes the above style if you load the page ...

    Hope that helps some.

    Although the above posts have useful information, I don't think they'll form a complete answer:

    • The problem with changing css or similar files (other than the fact it's unsupported), is that this would apply to all organisations on the same deployment.
    • Plugins can modify data, but not user interface components

    Another (again unsupported) approach could be to create and register an HttpModule that could intercept the web requests, and modify the results of either the .css or .css.aspx responses, based on the organisation the request is for

    One last question Ashish,

    On 4 I would like to have a field on the header identifying the environment. The color does not matter. Is this unsupported too ?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the kind words. Important thing is your issue is solved.

    In CRM 2011 header you can have fields, that's fine.

    I was actually able to change this , modifying main.css.apx. I was able to figure this out using IE's developer tool. Nonetheless thank you Ashish for guiding me to the right place.

    Hey Ashish,

    I'm having another problem: 

    If I change the background-color on the DIV.ms-crm-TopBarContainerGlobal div tag on main.css.aspx using the developer tool. The color seems to change. However, if I try to do this on C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\_common\styles. I do not see the change. 

    To debug this I have tried the following:

    1-Opened IIS Manager and made sure the web site pointed to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb

    2- Modified the main.css.aspx under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\_common\styles and refreshed the directory under IIS.

    3- Made an iisreset /stop, then an iisreset /start

    No color is reflected. If I revisit C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\_common\styles , main.css.aspx has not been changed or overwritten. 

    What am I doing wrong ?

    I also changed the theme.css.aspx by applying the following:

    DIV.ms-crm-AdvFind-SelectedFilterField,
    {
    <% = this.GetStyleCss(CrmTheme.Current.Global.AdvancedFindBorder) %>

    background-color: Red;

    }

    I've seen this done by modifying the masthead.jpg image. But bear in mind that the same images are reused by every organization in your deployment, so to have different coloured CRM application headers, you'll need separate deployments of CRM.
