Description

I'm running Ubuntu 17.04 with the light Radiance GTK theme instead of the default dark Ambiance GTK theme. I set themes using the Unity Tweak Tool.

The problem is that the Keybase tray icon doesn't adjust its foreground color to its background. Here's a screenshot:

System tray icons. All the icons are black but the Keybase icon, which is white.

Research direction

Start by locating the Keybase system-tray icon entry point for Ubuntu and the code that selects its foreground color from the GTK theme. Reproduce the issue with the Radiance theme on Ubuntu 17.04, then verify that the icon color matches the tray background without regressing the default Ambiance theme.
