1Password 8 accent color does not match system accent color

brsu

1P8 does not consider the system accent color(in system preferences->general). My system accent color is red but in 1password, the color when selecting items is blue. In 1Password 7, the color when selecting items is red.

I think that this is a side-effect of Electron. But I totally agree as someone who uses a different accent color, the Mac app should honor that preference if at all possible.

Incidentally, a related issue is that the Safari extension also does not honor the accent color. I imagine, being the Safari extension, you could query what that color should be from Safari's API somewhere. I know that the extension is largely a port of the Chromium one, but like with the main app, the browser extension should honor the macOS accent color, not assume that it is blue.

@brsu, @alexclst:

Thank you both for the feedback! I see that our developers have an issue open to discuss this, so I will let them know you would also like to see this :+1:

+1 on this one; when people complain about Electron apps not feeling "native" this is one of the big contributing factors- not following along with system-wide UI customizations like accent color.

Understood; thanks @StevenBedrick. I've added your voice to that issue as well. :+1:

Thumbs up for the accent color. Each time I open 1password this blue is freaking me out as I use an alternate color as an accent color. Only app I considered poorly designed use their own accent color without taking care of the system settings.

Hi folks.

We don't have any current plans to do this, but we'll continue gathering feedback, and we appreciate the input.

This is a bad news for the product, poor macos integration. Only the few poor designed tools I have doesn't match accent color.

+1 from me. Ignoring essential platform properties like accent color or the 'design' of the fake preference window on macOS is really keeping me away from even considering version 8 as an upgrade to 7.

Hi all,

The system accent color is now taken into consideration in the latest nightly build of 1Password 8 for Mac (80900003). 🎉
