Differentiating the look and feel of FME Flow for different environments (DTAP)

Hi,
Yeah, this was an old wish, to be able to easily see the difference between the FME Flows on the tabs in a browser when multiple FME Flow servers are running, e.g. for development, testing, acceptance and production (DTAP).
 
We took it even one step further - see image below
 
Two simple changes: a different color for the icon on the tab and for the bar on the left hand side.
  • to modify the icon you will need to have access to:
<FMEFlowDir>\Utilities\tomcat\webapps\fmeserver\images\favicon-fme-flow.svg
The (one?) good thing about the new FME Flow logo is that it is monochrome, so it is easy to modify favicon-fme-flow.svg (with an SVG editor, for example Inkscape) to set a different color.
  • to modify the color of the sidebar you will have to edit
<FMEFlowDir>\Utilities\tomcat\webapps\fmeserver\styles\safe-software-app.min.css
Search in this minified CSS file for
.sidebar{margin-right:0!important;background-color:#2C2C2B;
and
.sidebar>ul.nav{background-color:#2C2C2B}
respectively and change the color #2C2C2B in both cases to the color of your choice, e.g. #D69E00, the same color you used for the icon in favicon-fme-flow.svg.
 
Repeat these steps for each environment, of course using different colors, and - yee-haw! - you will be able to easily switch in your browser between your different FME Flows.
 
What do you think?
 
Cheers,
