Chrome 1Password Mini...dark green "login row" highlighting on dark background impossible to see.
I just updated 1Password. The new Chrome 1Password Mini uses white text on a dark gray backround. This is OK, but when you are clicking through the logins, the highlighting of the selected row is very dark green. Especially in brightly lit rooms, this makes it almost impossible to see which login row is highlighted...it's dark green on dark gray. This breaks a basic rule of design...no dark on dark (ie no dark text on a dark background). PLEASE change this, is makes it much less pleasant to use the extension. All you need to do is to change the color of the highlighting when a login is selected. Thanks.

Hi @bokun,
Thanks for writing in to ask us about that!

It sounds like you've enabled the "Use dark menu bar and Dock" setting on your Mac (in System Preferences > General). We added support for Mac's new "dark mode" option back in 1Password 5, when it was introduced with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). So it's not new, but were you by any chance using 1Password 3 or 4 until recently? If so, that would explain why 1Password mini / browser extension looks different to you.

The color of the highlighting isn't determined by 1Password - we use the system's "Highlight color" setting, which you can find in System Preferences > General. It sounds like you've selected a dark shade of green there. If you change that to something brighter, can you more easily see which row is selected in 1Password mini?
