    I have five sites running on a MSM installation, same domain but each in it’s own subfolder

    domain.com/europe
    domain.com/asia
    domain.com/africa

    I want it to be visually apparent which site I’m in at any time while in the control panel.
    Anyone have any styling tips for the CP CSS they’d like to share to make it damn obvious which site I’m in.

    Thanks

    Although not a CSS based approach, theres a free add-on to add a custom logo to the control panel, that might help: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/cp-logo

    EDIT: Sorry just saw you were using MSM so not sure if this would help you.

    Hello Welshfusion

    I ended up duplicating the corporate theme (corporate_theme_blue) folder a couple of times and adding a coloured border below the breadcrumb to make it obvious which MSM site I’m on.

    #breadCrumb {
        border-bottom:  15px solid #006699;
    }

    I also made first child element of the li tag in the breadcrumb larger to make the sitename more prominent

    #breadCrumb li:first-child {
        font-weight:  bold;
        color: #000;
        font-size:  20px;
    }

    A simple solution which works nicely and is now really obvious which site I’m editing. (I like simple)
