When I open any application that uses Xembed, the icon shown have black background. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open skype, deluge, vlc, etc...
Created attachment 96207 [details] Example
Note that SNI/appinidicator is *always* the only supported way. For Skype and VLC that is definitely available. look for sni-qt 32bit for skype. I don't know about Deluge, but if it does not support it a bug should be filed against Deluge for not following modern specs. Can you also confirm you have 5.5.1, there were some changes in this area between 5.5.0 and 5.5.1
I'm using 5.5.1. In my laptop skype looks fine, with the correct background, but in another computer with the same packages, skype (and all xembed apps) have the black background. I've tried installing lig32-sni-qt, and nothing. What can be? Thanks.
Fresh archlinux install today on the same computer (plasma 5.5.2) and the issue persist. Installing sni-qt and lib32-sni-qt the black background in vlc dissapears, but in skype continues. I hope you can fix it. Thank you and merry christmas
I've seen this behaviour when using hexchat. The occurrence if not always, but frequent.
Happens with 5.5.3 too.

Created attachment 97013 [details] Screenshot Confirming this on Plasma 5.5.3. In my case, the issue was introduced several days ago by a package update in openSUSE Tumbleweed. http://i.imgur.com/7of6W2v.png

I have also a purple tray symbol background on the Telegram Desktop app (Version 0.9.28, I downloaded the application directly from their website. It autoupdates).
Purple background with the official telegram desktop client downloaded from https://desktop.telegram.org/
not sure if this has the same root cause, but it sure sounds related: the somewhat dynamic gnome-mail-notification tray icon dissolves into a blurry mess over time. it appears that it expects the proxy window to be pre-cleared for it.
The issue seems to have been solved for me in the latest versions of Plasma 5. I haven't seen it for quite a few months with Skype.
I haven't seen this issue anymore. I believe that this can be closed as resolved.

For what it's worth, I'm getting this too. Happens on desktop (intel iGPU) but not laptop (nvidia). Apps are Megasync and Enpass: http://i.imgur.com/z39j2Y6.png Plasma version: plasma-desktop 5.8.5-1

For me, this only happens if the app is set to start at boot. Putting in a 15 second delay in the startup command fixes the issue. Something about them starting before X maybe?
I am seeing it too, with Chrome (including Hangouts extension icon) and Slack. Plasma 5.10.3.
(In reply to Jakub Schmidtke from comment #21) > I am seeing it too, with Chrome (including Hangouts extension icon) and > Slack. > Plasma 5.10.3. Hi Jakub, I also use slack with KDE 5.10.3 but never has this problem. Are you using latest version of Slack from their official website?
I am using slack-desktop 2.6.3-1 from AUR. Also, I just removed xf86-video-intel to try to deal with some other graphics issues (so I'm supposedly using modesetting driver instead), and that's when this started happening.
slack tray icon has no problem on my Antergos Arch-based.
