Hi there everyone,After the version 80.0.351.0 update, I noticed that the title bars of the Apps installed through Edge show a colored title bar, which looks super cool...For example: YouTube has a red bar now:Similarly for the other apps installed through Edge also have a colored bar. What I wanted to know here is that if the team is deciding on the colors of those bars, or Edge is picking up the colors through an algorithm? That looks super dope though...Thanks!

Yes, this is a new feature we're working on! Now, when you install a site as an app, we'll automatically theme the title bar based on the site's colors. This happens automatically, but as always web developers can specify their own color and override this automatic theming. I'm glad you all like it. 🙂

  That's awesome! Is there information posted somewhere about how the title bar color is determined from the site colors?

  William Devereux Will there be anyway for the end user to change the color of the title bar? We use MS Dynamics 365 and for some reason when we install this site as an app it uses red which doesn't really mesh with the Dynamics 365 theme.
  
  Thanks

I just tried it on popular websites and except for Outlook that has an unexpected title bar color, the rest of them are working fine as expected and nicely.

Twitter

Facebook

Outlook (expected it to be blue not white)

Can a user disable the colored title bar? Some sites (such as Gmail) give a red title bar that is distracting and alarming (being red).

  No option as of now I guess.
