Has there been any kind of response to this? I have the same problem. Has there been any kind of response to this? I have the same problem. Created attachment 184965 [details]
Icon is present, just difficult to see
Just to clarify this bug, it's not that the icon doesn't appear, it's just that there is no contrast between the dark icon and dark theme.
I would recommend adding a background to the icon so that it would appear regardless of the user's theme settings. Using a black icon with transparent background means that it'll be difficult to view it.

Created attachment 158999 [details] screenshot of system tray with invisible KDE Connect icon (area circled in red) SUMMARY System Tray Icon not visible in Microsoft Store version of KDE Connect STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open system tray OBSERVED RESULT Only a very faint shadow of the KDE Connect icon can be seen. EXPECTED RESULT Should be able to see icon. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 11 version 22H2 build 22621.1776 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have circled this in red in the screen shot (attached) as it may not be visible after upload. Center of circled area responds to mouse right click and a popup appears with phone functions, quit, and configure. As a new user this completely confused me and I assumed the SMS function was not working. There does not appear to be a way to initiate the SMS function if KDE Connect is opened from the start menu icon.
