Status icon for GTK3 applications present but not visible.

[ArthurBorsboom]

Hi,

Recently I have noticed that two GTK3 applications (Audacious and Xpad) who both use a GtkStatusIcon have the status icon working in the systray (all functionality works), but the icon itself is transparent / invisible.

Before I thought that GTK3, the applications, theme, or Arch environment might be to blame, but maybe it is an lxqt-panel issue.

Please read the bugreport which I started at Audacious for details and a screenshot.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue?

I have noticed a positive change in behavior, due to a recent update to lxqt-config.

Since this commit it is possible to select the Qt widget style. On default my widget style is on GTK+. When I change it to any other style, the GTK3 status icon of Audacious becomes visible. When I change back to GTK+, it stays.

An uneducated guess is that lxqt-panel does not update the Qtree completely. Below the screenshot of the new lxqt-config menu where I change the widget style.

Does this help enough to fix this issue?

I did some dirty hacks to workaround this bug. It might not be the optimal solution.
However since the notification area (systray) spec is deprecated, spending to much time on it is a waste. So some workaround to make it work is enough, I think.
Please confirm that if this fix your problem. If not, please re-open the bug.

I confirm the issue has been resolved.
Thanks mate! Good work.
