Until very recently, my Edge address bar showed highlighted text in my Windows accent color, dark gray. In the last couple of days, the Edge address bar highlight color has changed to a royal blue. I did not change any Windows or Edge settings. Is this a new "feature" in Edge?

    Hi Lewis,

    It seems like blue became the default after the latest Edge update. I have a yellow accent color set in my Windows settings, and it still shows correctly across the system. However, in Edge, the highlight stays blue no matter what, so it looks like it's no longer following the system accent color. In this case, please submit your feedback by pressing Alt + Shift + I if this change is affecting your experience.
