Preferences close button on wrong side of window

First off, I'd like to generally applaud a lot of the nice touches in the 1Password 8 beta for macOS. There's one thing that keeps on tripping me up, though – the close button for the preferences window is on the wrong side! It's on the right, which probably makes sense on Windows, but on macOS I always end up mousing to the top-left of preferences when I'm trying to close it. It'd be great if this could be fixed to make 1Password 8 feel a bit more comfortable for Mac users!

Hi @alexcr

This is something the design team is evaluating. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject. I've shared them with that team. 😊

In the latest NIGHTLY release the Preferences window is finally a separate window that can be moved independently of the main 1PW window, and has a standard macOS red close button at the top-left. My muscle memory can now carry on working as normal. Even after 6+ months of 1Password 8 usage, I still automatically went to the top-left to close Preferences. Never got used to it being on the right.
