Qt5 & tray icon = fail

[alxchk]

So, I have

• awesome (d51a647)
• Qt 5.4.2
• mysystray = wibox.widget.systray()

And Qt tray icons looks like shit.
Dropbox icon is with grey background, hipchat icon overwrites other icons.

Wow, that "hipchat overwrites other icons" is a new one. No idea how they actually manage to do that, but apparently they fight with awesome and are not happy with the size that is assigned to their tray icon.
Anyway, that's a different issue than the "Qt5 does not support transparency with tray icons" one.

If it matters, vlc/qt5 case is the same as with hipchat. Also I have this in config:
bottombox = awful.wibox({ position = "bottom", screen = 1,
fg = '#00FF00',.
bg = '#000000',.
height = 16})

bottombox <- panel with tray

can't reproduce it no more: dropbox 3.4.6 and hipchat 2.2.1373
UPD: but still reproduces in few other Qt apps, but anyway it seems like smth on their side

The hipchat problem should be worked around with 4daa6e8, the background problem is on Qt's side and is hopefully fixed with Qt 5.5 or 5.6. Reopen if I am wrong.

Still same behaviour with hipchat =\

The problem not just with size. Hipchat icon just put itself over existing icons.

HipChat icon still overrides other icons. I've forced HipChat to use other icon sizes and it doesn't solve the problem. As @alxchk said HipChat just puts itself over other icons. It's very annoying - is there a way to just blacklist HipChat from systray?
