Colored Banners for Different Environments #13247

Closed mchandschuh closed 1 week ago

mchandschuh commented 1 week ago

Is there an existing request for this feature?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

It is very easy to accidentally run a request against the run environment. In many systems, different banner colors are used to make it obvious to the user which environment they're executing against.

Describe the solution you'd like

Any solution that makes it obvious which environment I'm running requests against. My initial thought was similar to how chrome profiles changes the color of the browser window, we could optionally enable environments to change the color of the postman application window with the ability to set colors based on environments. My application has certain colors based on environments so they dev/test teams know which environment they're executing against. I would want to be able to use the same colors in postman for consistency.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The other things I can think of involve confirmation clicks which would just be annoying, but would also be nice for really sensitive requests that perhaps should never be run against certain environments.
