3 years agoAdd options to change 1Password for Safari's icon
The icon for 1Password for Safari doesn't follow convention and clashes with the other icons on Safari.
Take a look at this screenshot using this community site as an example. The other icons on the Safari Toolbar (Noir, 1Blocker, Share) have sections that are transparent, and look pretty good against the page's theme-color
. This oddity is even clearer on a new window, where the 1Password icon is noticeably darker than the others.
1Password Version: 8.7.0 (Beta)
Extension Version: 2.3.1
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

I know that this extension is basically a repacked version of the chrome extension but please update the icon to align with Apple design guidelines and make it a monochrome icon like the 1PW 7 extension does.
(1PW7 on the left, 1PW for Safari on the right)I hope there are at least a few people left at 1Password that actually care about those details and willing to do things the way they are supposed to be done on a specific platform.
Thank you

I know this is the world's tiniest complaint but I agree with the folks here. Just from a UI fit-and-finish perspective an icon update for the Safari extension could go a long way here.

Thank you both for championing this feature. Since I use 1Password frequently, I personally like the look of the icon, as it makes 1Password easy to locate among my other extensions. Additionally, I'm someone who tends to switch between browsers, so I find the visual consistency of the icon helpful when using 1Password in the browser across different browsers.
Having said that, I can understand the appeal of having the icon match your other extension icons in Safari for a consistent and clean look. This remains an open item in our team's backlog and I've made sure that all your feedback has been heard by the team.

I also feel like the icon sticks out like a sore thumb, where the 1Password 7 icon looked great on Mac OS. Would love to see a return to a OS consistent icon for Safari on MacOS.
Other Chromium browsers do show coloured icons so this ones suitable there, just not for Safari.

I stumbled upon this thread while looking for a way to turn the 1Password Safari icon monochrome. I would appreciate the option too, it looks severely out of place in Safari right now.

I just signed up for 1password because I've seen screenshots of the app and the design looked much better than LastPass, what I'm currently using.
Literally everything about 1password seems AMAZING apart from this eyesore in my safari header that cannot change.
Just registering here that the icon will be the one and only reason I do not become a paying user. At least lastpass's icon (what I see 95% of the time) isn't out of place.

I'd really love to see this addressed. This icon is a really disappointing regression compared to the Safari extension for 1Password 7.

I've recently started using Safari more and yeah, this is an insanely ugly icon. it's especially confusing because the icon was great with 1P7
the more I use 1P8 the more it feels like just a massive regression from 1P7 :/

I'm guessing this won't change any time soon. They probably want the icon to stick our like a sore thumb because that means more engagement and interaction than if it were to simply blend in.
Even so, the current icon is horrendous and it would be really nice if this one simple change would happen. That would prove that a company is listening to their users which doesn't seem to be the case.
I do not see any "wow look how beautiful this icon is in Safari" posts. At least make the ugly one the default with an option to change it in Settings.
