Created attachment 146201 [details] System Tray applet - gray on desktop SUMMARY System Tray applet's popup looks like there is a gray overlay (or "underlay") in front or behind of it, when added to the desktop containment (not on a panel). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add System Tray applet to the desktop, or move an existing one from a default panel. 2. Click on any plasmoid's icon that has a popup (e.g.: Audio Volume, Clipboard, Disks & Devices, Battery and Brightness etc). OBSERVED RESULT The popup is gray, as can be seen on a screenshot attached. EXPECTED RESULT Popup should be normally colored.

Can confirm. Only noticeable when using a dark color scheme though. I couldn;t tell the difference when using the Breeze Light color scheme

Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. systray: Fix applet's appearance on a desktop All the sizing and positioning code in this SvgItem relies on assumption that plasmoid's location would we strictly either one of four edge types. So this patch ensures that this thin separator line is only visible when this assumption is true. Otherwise its both width and height get reset (by binding `undefined`), and SVG starts filling up the whole available area, which leads to a visual glitch that looks like a as grayed out or faded applet.
