Environment Banner for End-Users

Jared CSep 17 2025 — edited Sep 17 2025

Oracle APEX 24.1.6

Hi, we have a test environment that we want to make available to end users. However, we want the end user to be made aware that they are in the “test” environment with a banner, preferably, but a message may also work.

I know that since APEX 21.2 there is an environment banner for the APEX Builder itself, which would be visible to Developers that are making changes. But what I am talking about is a banner on all the applications within a given workspace (or better, instance) so that anyone who uses the applications themselves is aware they are in the test environment.

I saw this older post from Jorge Rimblas but I'm not sure how he is getting that watermark to show up on the background. The blurb about #GLOBAL_NOTIFICATION# seems to be making the Developer Toolbar a different color, not having anything to do with this watermark. He simply says he makes it "available to all apps” and then at the end he is describing the CSS Selectors for the image… I feel like I'm missing something. In any case, this strategy, while it would work, is not ideal because I'd rather have an option to just set a watermark / banner at the instance or at least workspace level so that all apps have the specified watermark / banner without me having to add it manually for each app.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
