How to Set Custom Status Bar Colors in SSMS to Differentiate Environments

In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), you can customize the color of the status bar when connecting to a specific database. This feature is particularly helpful for distinguishing between different environments like DEV, UAT, PROD, etc. By visually differentiating these environments, it reduces the likelihood of performing actions in the wrong environment, helping prevent accidental mistakes. This simple customization can add an extra layer of caution and improve workflow efficiency.
