Custom icons for 1PW items

I just found the way to fix icons for Software Licenses - in Edit mode the little downward carat "v" shows up on the icon. Clicking on this brings up the text "Choose new icon..." selecting that brings up the Applications folder and when you pick the app - it changes the icon 🥳🎉

Now I'd like to figure out how to do this for other items. Is there a format it's looking for? maybe a PNG file? This could be related to this post  Member: 1P_SimonH | 1Password Community I was commenting over there but probably nobody looks at "solved" posts. I've seen some items pick up common graphics from just the name and then other times that doesn't work.

  • Hi dxzdb​! Thanks for your question.

    Login items will add an icon from the rich icon server based on the url in the first listed website field. For Software License items, it's based on the name of the item. These are both assuming you have "Show app and website icons" turned on under Settings > Privacy, and that the icon exists in the server. 

    If an icon doesn't exist, or you'd like to name a license item something that doesn't match the software name, you can add a custom icon as you described while editing the item. To my knowledge, most common image file formats can be used for custom icons.

    It looks like you linked to my colleague Simon's profile rather than a specific thread, so apologies if I was missing some context. Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks again!

      I'm not sure why - but previously I had trouble getting an item to pick up the graphics. Given what you said above I edited the website and it immediately picked up the graphics for several items.

      Below is the post I was trying to link to. There seems to be 4 enhancement requests in progress for this?  I'm a bit confused why they didn't mention PNG files but maybe that wasn't the way the question was asked. For me this unlocks all sorts of possibilities since I have graphic tools around that can create PNG's with abandon 😊https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/enhanced-ability-to-choose-item-icons-for-non-login-items/154074

        That's great to hear dxzdb​! I can't say I've dabbled much with custom icons myself, but I can see it being quite helpful for visually linking items, especially if you have the skills to make some fun PNGs!

        Thanks for sharing that link! It sounds like you might be set now, but just to confirm can we help with anything regarding your comment in that thread?
