Entries in System Tray settings change their icons when their status changes, some of those icons don’t even reflect the status enabled/disabled. See attached image for more info.

That's correct. The code currently gets the icon from the applet itself, so it shows you the same icon you'll see in the system tray. However when an applet is disabled, that's obviously impossible since the applet no longer exists there, so it falls back to the icon specified in the applet's JSON metadata file. These may not match of course. And there's no way to force them to match, since the applet itself can change its icon at runtime.

So I'm afraid there's no way we can fix this, sorry.
