I used to do the same thing with RDPs to windows production servers. I'd set up a different colored color scheme on each computer, with prod being bright red :)

- e12e 9y agoFor Windows work, I made sure to have one regular user and one admin user. And set the desktop background of the admin user to red. An additional benefit is that the garish background is uncomfortable to work with, and so discourages being logged in as admin all the time...
- philipov 9y agoChanging the desktop background alone isn't enough. You will inevitably get into a situation where fullscreen windows are occluding it. To avoid any ambiguity, set the color scheme to high contrast and then set all the windows title bars to red, and tint the task bar red. On QA, I tint everything purple, and on DR I tint everything green, or yellow.
