I have a live and a production server. I'd like to have something to visually confirm I'm on the right one. I was thinking of overlaying in the top right of the screen "Test" - but I have no clue how to do this.
 
Here's some ideas:
* Put a "hueoverride" on yourself, that way you will know you are on the dev one.
* You can also see the server name on the top left, the title of the window shows that information - just put "dev" on your server name in the configuration.
* You could also send a global broadcast that it's a dev server (might get annoying).
* If you want a gump to show up, you will have to hook a couple things (login / resurrect / etc), but keep in mind that gumps can be invasive and annoying.
 
Yeah - my char on the dev server wears a bright neon robe so I'm sure I'm on that server. I've also set the welcome message to read "TEST SERVER" at login.

I admit that over the years I have rebooted the live server a time or two by accident :D
