You also have to option to control the robots.txt visibility settings, in the newest version you get a watermark for posts that are in draft or scheduled, and a keyboard shortcut to hide the adminbar.
If you want to participate in the development head over to GitHub!
Screenshots
The basic idea of the plugin, 3 instances of a website, with 3 distinct color schemes and quicklinks between the instances. 
The Adminbar on the frontend, showing the info panel on the right and the watermark for a draft post. The info panel can be hidden with a click. And there are keyboard shortcuts to hide the whole adminbar and the watermark to see what the site looks like for a regular user. 
The settings page, with the options for the first of the 3 default stages. 
The import and export function on the settings page. 
The settings page when the settings are set using the filter add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-sites', 'sites_filter' );
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/apermo-adminbardirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the ‘Apermo AdminBar’ plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Open Settings -> Apermo AdminBar to set up the links and colors (currently you have to repeat this on all sites)
FAQ
- I have more than 3 sites, can I add more?
-
You can do so with
add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-types', 'your_filter' ); - I want more color schemes!
-
Feel free to add more, there are other plugins that do so. Or have a look at wp_admin_css_color() in the WordPress Codex
- Can I save the color schemes to my theme?
-
Yes, you can. Simply add and alter the following example somewhere to the functions.php of your theme
add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-sites', 'sites_filter' ); function sites_filter( $sites ) { $sites['dev']['url'] = 'https://dev.your-site.tld'; $sites['dev']['whitelist'] = array( 1,42 ); $sites['staging']['url'] = 'https://staging.your-site.tld'; $sites['live']['url'] = 'https://www.your-site.tld'; return $sites; } - Can I hide, for example the development page, for certain users
-
Yes, you can use the filter
add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-sites', 'sites_filter' );with the optionwhitelistto allow access to the corresponding site only for the whitelisted user ids.
An option for this might be added in the future. - Can I change the default capability needed to access the quicklinks?
-
Yes, use
add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-caps', 'sites_filter' );and just return the desired capability. - I do not need the watermark, how can I remove it?
-
The simplest way is to use
add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-watermark', function( $bool ) { return false; } );and turn the feature off. - I do not need the statusbox, how can I remove it?
-
The simplest way is to use
add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-statusbox', function( $bool ) { return false; } );and turn the feature off. - I do not need the keyboard shortcuts, how can I remove it?
-
The simplest way is to use
add_filter( 'apermo-adminbar-keycodes', function( $bool ) { return false; } );and turn the feature off. - How can I help with the development of this plugin?
