Aegis: Option to change icon colors

Created on 6 Jan 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: beemdevelopment/Aegis

Are the default icon colors random?

Could we have an option to edit these colors, if possible, please?

I agree, but that's what the custom icon feature is for. You can select a custom icon for each entry by tapping the icon in the "Edit entry" screen. We're still working on making that experience better by providing an icon pack for popular services.

Based on the issuer (or account name if empty), the icon colors are picked from a list of predefined colors.

These colors were picked to fit well with the style of the rest of the app. I don't think it's worth the trouble to allow them to be customized, to be honest.

The colors may fit the app style, but don't you agree that a purple icon doesn't recall Google at all, for example? (nor associate github with an indigo color, etc)
