SUMMARY An application (Albert) has a tray icon that was not being displayed (invisible) in KDE Frameworks 5.79.0, then suddenly it was working in KDE Frameworks 5.80.0, then once again it is not displaying properly with the KDE Frameworks 5.81.0 update. Seeking assistance with a link to the exact changes that could be affecting this tray icon display issue with Albert. Don't know whether it is a bug in the KDE Frameworks that was fixed and then broken again, or a bug in the way Albert tries to add its icon to the tray. Have already been working with the Albert maintainer trying to find a fix. But it was not working in 5.79.0, definitely working fine with 5.80.0, and then broke again with 5.81.0. So the secret is somewhere in the difference between the three updates, related to the tray indicators. Other than the icon issue, the Albert tray indicator exists and is fully usable. The panel/tray just doesn't want to show the icon outside of Frameworks version 5.80.0. I'm not certain this (frameworks-plasma/libplasma) is the correct place to put this, but I couldn't find anything that seemed more relevant to a part of the KDE Frameworks that might specifically affect the indicator tray icons. Feel free to move it if necessary. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Albert on a KDE system with Frameworks 5.81.0 2. Look for the Albert tray icon (looks like a 3D square with an "alpha" symbol). 3. An item will show a tooltip of "Albert" but will have no icon displayed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0/5.80.0/5.81.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Can you provide a link to the application?

Created attachment 137662 [details] listIcons.sh
Just checked and the application is not setting the icon correctly. You can run attached scrict to list DBus properties of all System Tray icons. On my system for Albert is returns: {"AttentionIconName" = [Variant(QString): ""], "AttentionIconPixmap" = [Variant: [Argument: a(iiay) {}]], "AttentionMovieName" = [Variant(QString): ""], "Category" = [Variant(QString): "ApplicationStatus"], "IconName" = [Variant(QString): ""], "IconPixmap" = [Variant: [Argument: a(iiay) {}]], "IconThemePath" = [Variant(QString): ""], "Id" = [Variant(QString): "Albert"], "ItemIsMenu" = [Variant(bool): false], "Menu" = [Variant: [ObjectPath: /MenuBar]], "OverlayIconName" = [Variant(QString): ""], "OverlayIconPixmap" = [Variant: [Argument: a(iiay) {}]], "Status" = [Variant(QString): "Active"], "Title" = [Variant(QString): "Albert"], "ToolTip" = [Variant: [Argument: (sa(iiay)ss) "", [Argument: a(iiay) {}], "", ""]], "WindowId" = [Variant(int): 0]} Both IconName and IconPixmap are empty. Maybe the problem is that Albert set's the icon in a weird way? https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert/blob/dev/src/app/trayicon.cpp#L15 Most probably QIcon::fromTheme should be used (as mention in app bug report).

Thanks for taking a look. I will forward this info and ask the dev to try changing it.
