At the moment, no. This opaque background was intentionally added to make KDE3 icons (using RGB visuals) fit with KDE4 icons (using ARGB visuals) -- and the box is an RGB area.

I think there is a plan to completely remove the systray. But I don't quite know how they plan to achieve that.

Thanx again LinuxIsInnovation for informations.

Just one question: completly remove systray? and what kind of thing will replace it?

In KDE 4.3 the system tray is going to be removed and replaced by... a cashew! ;-)

OK, maybe not. Aaron has written about the system tray in his blog. You can read a little about it here, and there are also links for further information.

(Don't worry, the system tray will not be gone in 4.3. As far as I know.)
