In my case specifically the tray icon of syncthing-gtk and solaar. The AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support Extension is showing the missing icons correctly under wayland(however it is missing other icons). I would guess this is due to both being using native wayland, so maybe this is not an issue since the README says this extension only supports xwayland...

Exactly, they're using pure Wayland. You can bring them back by using command: GDK_BACKEND=x11 app_name

I'm sorry for bumping this @MartinPL, but may you please elaborate? What is using 'pure Wayland' & how is that affecting this? I'm also having this issue, i.e. different icons missing in different tray extensions. Thank you.
