Expected behaviour

Tell us what should happen

Have a nice looking monochrone icon in the tray area

Actual behaviour
Image

This is how it looks in Linux (GNOME) with the "Tray Icons: Reloaded" extensions. It is just black. If you point on it with the mouse (see screenshot) you have the shadow around it. So icon is there, it is just completely black.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the Talk desktop client settings on Linux with the GNOME Tray Icons: Reloaded extension, then inspect the desktop client's tray-icon handling and monochrome-icon assets. Done means restarting the client produces a visible monochrome tray icon rather than a solid black one.
