Certain UI elements pose visibility challenges when using Dark Mode

Another example:

As far as I see it, 1Password uses the Windows accent color for these elements. You can choose a different accent color in Windows personalization settings - using black as accent color for dark mode is not a good idea anyway, in my opinion.

Hello @GutiPerez! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into display issues when using 1Password. I'm not seeing the same issues on my end:

It sounds like you might have personalized colours in Windows itself that 1Password is then honouring (as Tertius3 mentioned). Try changing the colours to something that is more readable: Change colors in Windows - Microsoft Support

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Hello @1P_Dave

As Former Member and you pointed out, those elements have the color set depending on the Windows accent color. I have it configured automatically depending on my wallpaper (which changes daily), so sometimes the selected accent color is not the most appropriate for the dark mode. Anyway, this is working as intended, and now I understand what was going on.

Thanks you both.

Fantastic, I'm glad that the mystery was solved. 🙂

@GutiPerez I also used to use an automatic accent color for Windows dark mode, but since my wallpaper is very dark itself, the automatic color is usually too dark.

So I manually chose a color that makes good contrast but fits the dark theme. I chose standard blue as accent color (not blue but standard blue, which is slightly lighter). I deactivated displaying the accent color in start menu and task bar, and activated it for displaying window titles and borders (both in the color setup of the Windows personalization settings). This makes it all in all a nice dark appearance of my Windows system in general with good contrast for which the accent color is used.

Thanks for the tips Tertius3! 🙂
