Can confirm, "Match system" theme option is still broken in 1password v8.8.0 since upgrade to Gnome v42 added new Dark appearance

relevant Electron issue https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/33635

As a workaround we can manually select 1password "Dark" theme, and to fix inconsistencies also select some dark theme for "Legacy Applications" in Gnome tweaks tool

I would also like to voice my support for this, though I understand it will be better to come from the Electron camp than 1Password. A number of apps I use don't follow the new color scheme directive and they're all Electron, but they do respect the GTK theme.

I currently use a custom script to alter the GTK theme based on which color-scheme is selected in GNOME, however there is a catch with 1Password where the Quick Access overlay doesn't fully transition over and the UI will appear washed out. Restarting 1Password solves the problem for the time being.

```

!/bin/bash

current=$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme)

In GNOME, the dark hint is set to 'prefer-dark', and the

light hint to 'default' (can optionally be 'prefer-light').

if [ $current = "'prefer-dark'" ]
then
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark'
else
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ''
fi
```

Currently we use Electron's default mechanism for checking system settings. I like that Gnome is going to put this in DBus. That's a really good home for such information and is relatively easy to query. It might get little bit tricky in our code where we would need to step in before Electron does. I'll make an issue for this and we will see what we can do about it. I'll also see if I can get upgraded to Gnome 42, but that might not be available to me for a bit longer.

I'm using the 1Password package for Fedora (1password-8.6.1-1.x86_64). When using the new freedesktop settings portal, it shouldn't matter how it's installed (as long as the Flatpak can talk to the settings portal over D-Bus).

Hi @owendaprile, thanks for letting us know about this. Can you tell me what your installation method for 1Password was on this device (package manager, tar, flatpak, etc.)? This might be relevant. I'll be happy to follow up on the issue for you!

I'm on the Fedora 36 Beta (with GNOME 42), and while there aren't really any issues, the experience could be better. The settings app now includes a light/dark theme chooser, and 1Password doesn't follow this when its theme is set to match system. Moreover, choosing a dark theme in settings and a dark theme in 1Password gives 1Password a light header bar, which looks out of place. I think the new color scheme preference should be used over checking the GTK theme (or however 1Password does it now), when it is available.

CharDSon Are you seeing problems with this right now, or are you anticipating problems from the update to Gnome 42?

I'll confess that I only a week or two ago got updated to Gnome 41, so I'm not even yet paying attention to Gnome 42.
