As a Backstage user, there's no visual difference between `experimental` and `production` entities

See original GitHub issue

Currently, experimental and production entities have the same banner styles; the only difference between the two is under “Lifecycle” which a user can easily miss:

experimental entity

image

production entity image

Feature Suggestion

Differentiate styles for experimental vs. production entities. Possible suggestions:

  • Different banner colour for experimental entites?
  • Use different coloured tags for Lifecycle?

Context

I was working with an engineer to improve their information in Backstage and they were surprised how there’s no visual difference between experimental and production entities.

Thanks! Didn’t make a ton of progress yet, but I’m liking highlighting the label for any non-prod entity like this so far. Thoughts?

I’d suggest a small icon to the left/right of the word instead of a border. Perhaps even leveraging the builtin <StatusOK /> and <StatusWarning /> or similar for it? Or leaving it unmodified for the production lifecycle.
