To create a more personalized experience for your company or to help you quickly distinguish between a development, staging, and production environment you can change the CRM title banner.
Begin by navigating to the "_imgs" folder on the server that hosts your on premise CRM deployment. This is usually located at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\_imgs" Backup and copy masthead.jpg, mast_back.gif, and form_tool_bar.gif to a temporary directory. Next, fire up your preferred image manipulation program such as Paint.Net or Photoshop and change the copied images as desired. For my development environment I've added a red hue to set it apart from the blue on the production CRM. When you are happy with your image changes, paste and overwrite the existing files in the "_imgs" directory. Make sure the images have the same security properties as the other files in the "_imgs" directory otherwise IIS may be blocked from accessing the files. Clear your browser cache and then refresh your CRM page and your new customized headers should now be in place.
