I forgot to mention, I've also tried playing with the background setting with 
no effect.

As an aside, I also move streams a lot, so I'd like to see an option to have 
the stream controls always expanded, so that the dropdown menu is always 
visible.

I see now that you've responded to this issue before:
"Unfortunately this is a plasma/qt problem (see Issue 37). I'am search another 
UI element thant the combobox.. "

Have you talked to the plasma developers to get this fixed?
Seems like a pretty glaring bug...

This is the same bug as issue 37.

I hope you are aware that you can drag and drop application streams. For 
outputstreams i don't have a workaround.

I am still searching a sokution for that problem.
