Description clcevboxvjeo 2005-06-27 15:07:20 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

Some apps' icons (like gaim) don't look transparent in kicker, although they should.

Gaim folks say, it's something with freedesktop.org standards, but they can do nothing do with it, so can YOU do something or who?

From their FAQ:
---
Gaim supports what is called a system tray icon that conforms to the standards at www.freedesktop.org. This tray icon is supported by Windows, KDE 3.1, ....

Due to a flaw in these specs, KDE users may experience trouble with the background color of the docklet. There is unfortunately nothing we can do about this.

To be more precise, in app-launcher part of kicker, it's ok. This problem only occurs in tray.
Comment 2 Aaron J. Seigo 2005-06-27 18:04:04 UTC
yes, they are correct that it is a flaw in the specs that are on freedesktop.org. up till now nobody really cared to fix it, but we are working on a fix for KDE 4.0. this will only affect KDE applications, however, unless Gtk+ also adopts the improved standard. for Gtk+ applications using the systray, there is not really anything we can do one way or the other. the current mechanism is flawed, and it will be up to them to decide whether or not to adopt newer mechanisms which can improve the situation as they become available.

Ok, I'm glad you're working on it. Following standards is essential. Keep up good work.
