The renderer uses three different colors depending on which renderer you're using. They don't use the accent color. They became themable with #93229, so you can change them with a custom editor theme. I'd take a look at passivestar's theme for an example of how to do so: https://github.com/passivestar/godot-minimal-theme

Changing these theme colors individually isn't currently possible through the editor settings. If changing these colors through a theme file isn't enough for you, you might want to make a feature proposal for those colors to be editable in the GUI. I did a quick look through the proposals and didn't see anything that quite matched.

Ah ok, thank you for the info and links. I guess I should close the issue. I forgot the colors changed dependant on which you used, I always use compatibility. Changing its color is not a huge issue for me, just figured it was a bug, but I guess not. Seems weird with it not matching the accent color, but I guess coloring that for the render engine has some reason.

Yeah, I'm not actually sure why the current renderer has different colors. It's not something that changes a lot moment-to-moment while you're using the editor, so I'm not sure why it stands out so much. Maybe it's to make it immediately legible in screenshots what renderer is used? I know that using the wrong renderer is a big source of confusion, support questions, and bug reports.

Yep, that's the reason: godotengine/godot-proposals#5979 (comment)

Interesting, thank you for the link and answer on that. I will close the ticket then. Have a good one. Cheers!
