@Chow Loong Jin: The colour behind the icons is the same as the colour of the panel, if you remove any background image or transparency.

With regards to Opera, perhaps they don't _need_ to get involved. This change happened outside of the applications affected. The mechanism they all use to produce a tray icon has changed its behaviour, it seems.

Of course, I can't back that up with any proof. It's just my educated guess. I just find it hard to believe that so many applications suddenly had a regression without it being a shared, external factor.

The issue presents itself irrespective of the GTK theme used, or whether compositing is enabled.

The workaround of updating each individual application to use "GTKStatusIcon" (?) instead may work, but it's not really fixing the cause of the problem, I suspect.
