Why are the system tray icons not showing correctly?

Hello

I'm posting this here because - although this is a KDE glitch - I didn't experience it in Kubuntu so I'm assuming the glitch is because of a missing package in KDE Neon (which I'm using) or something like that. So: my issue is that the system tray icons for my applications are not showing correctly. The Viber icon shows fine, but the icons beside it (for Clementine and Skype) don't show right. I'm using the Papirus icon pack, but this glitch existed with the Breeze Dark icon theme too.

If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know

The same problem (missing skype and megaupload icons) have appeared after plasma 5.7 update. And in plasma 5.7 system tray was rewritten so I guess it is systray bug.

OK... Is there a KDE developer online that could inform me of when a patch for this will be made? I'm using KDE Neon User Edition 5.7.0 and all of my applications are up-to-date.

just curious ,,,,,,,,, do you all have "libappindicator1" and "libappindicator3-1" installed ?

I do not have that many non standard apps , but the ones I do have "Dropbox" "QMplay2(compiled from source) do show.

Yes I have libappindicator* packages.

Well clementine and skype are not "non standard" apps. And their systray icons worked fine in plasma 5.6. On other hand, viber and qmmp icons still work fine. Go figure...

And YES, I am sick and tired of buggy, not-working-as-it-shlould-plasma5-systray......

Are there any packages available which could fix this glitch? If not, when will there be a Plasma update which fixes it?

Try to remove sni-qt and sni-qt:i386 packages. This trick works for me with Skype and MEGA icons in systray, but not with Teamviewer icon.

Exactly this. Thank you.

TeamViewer seems to call itself TeamViewer while the breeze icon is called teamviewer. The following fixes it:

Code: Select all
cd /usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/48
sudo ln -s teamviewer.svg TeamViewer.svg
cd /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/apps/48
sudo ln -s teamviewer.svg TeamViewer.svg
