Why is app icon different in Linux?

klieber

I installed the latest 1Password on a VM of Linux Mint 21.2. The app icon is one I've never seen before and doesn't look anything like 1Password.

Is there some way to use the regular app icon so it's visually consistent across my various OS installs?

Hey @klieber, thanks for reaching out.

I tested this on a Linux Mint VM and encountered that same icon you're seeing. After some further investigation, this appears to be due to Linux Mint Icon themes overriding application icons with their own versions.

I noticed that the Mint-Y theme appears to be using a default "password" icon for 1Password rather than the actual app icon. Changing to a different icon theme (such as Mint-X or breeze) resolves things:

Let me know if that works for you or if you have any further questions!

Thanks - that helps. I also found instructions via google to replace just the 1Password icon without having to change the entire theme (which I otherwise quite like)

Anyway, glad it wasn't a 1Password thing as it seems rather silly to change the icon for just one platform.

You're most welcome @klieber, I'm glad to hear you were able to find steps on how to replace the 1Password icon without changing the theme!

Hi, I have the same problem and I can't find anything useful in google. Do you remember how you fixed this?

Thank you very much.

In my case, the 1password icon had been replaced by the theme I was using. Fixing it was as simple as locating where the theme stored desktop icons and replacing them with the stock 1password ones.
