MAC OS and Rich Icons? What are best practices? How can I turn them off?

I was under the impression it was better on a Mac OS to not have Rich Icons. I notice on my Mac that Rich Icons are now populating - previously I had them turned off, but can no longer find out how to turn them off.

Questions:
1. Is it still best practices for Mac OS to not have Rich Icons?
2. If so, how can I turn them off?

I'm sorry for the double-post but I have good news! The rich icons issue has now been resolved with the latest update to 1Password.

Please update to version 8.10.24 or later: How to keep 1Password up to date

Thank you again for your patience and your report. If you still see the issue after updating and restarting 1Password then please let me know.

Dave,

Thank you and the 1Password team for the fix, but I still appear to have some rich icon issues:

  1. I updated 1P for the Mac and when searching, it no longer shows rich icons. However the extensions show Rich Icons whether or not I search them?

  2. When I use 1P for the iPhone, and search, the app no longer shows rich icons, however, it shows rich icons under “recent”?

Thanks for the reply. I'll respond below:

1Password in the browser has a separate setting for rich icons:

  1. Open your browser.
  2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
  3. Click Appearance or Appearance & shortcuts (depending on the browser).
  4. Turn off "Show app and website icons".

When I use 1P for the iPhone, and search, the app no longer shows rich icons, however, it shows rich icons under “recent”?

I can reproduce this as well and I've filed an issue to have the team investigate further. Thank you for the report!

Thank you Dave! I was able to turn off “Show app and website icons” in the Safari 1P and FF 1P extenions. The FF extension was a little different, but I found it.

Also, I appreciate your checking and filing an issue regarding the iPhone, and rich icons being found under “recent”.
