Is there a way to clearly differentiate a test company? I have a feeling that would be very useful. In other words, live is the standard blue frames, etc, and test is green. So you always know- and are reminded- that you're in either test or live. If there's a way to do it now, I'd like to know. Or any other way users keep on top of that.

To round-out this informaiton, please refer to the following KB articles involving the creation of Test Companies.
KB 871973 Set up a test company that has a copy of live company data by using SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, or SQL Server 20

This second article also has the added value of not adding to your Employee Count if transferring Payroll information to Test.
An immediate thing you can do is add "<TEST>" to the end of the test company name. This will provide a pop-up warning to users when accessing the test company. While not as noticable as changing all the window colors between companies, it will provide an immediate message reminding users.
Take a look at the Support Debugging Tool. This has a great administrative function that allows you to change window colors between different companies along with many other useful tools.
A Google or Bing search will find you all the information you need but you will need to contact your VAR for a copy as it is only available for download from PartnerSource.
