In dark mode, the tray icons in taskbar are not easily distinguishable. For example, see the following screenshots

• SystemInformer

• Process Explorer

See the difference in the tray icons.

There's also a visibility issue in light mode under Windows 11:

Setting IconTransparencyEnabled to 0 reverts to the non-transparent background

Setting IconTransparencyEnabled to 0 reverts to the non-transparent background

It does work but the results are not applied to all icons. See the second one from right.

The colors are not so distinct. Also editing XML file is not so user convenient 🤓

Good! That was exactly the parameter I wanted.

In fact, this is rather easily done through the advanced options tab.

2 tray icons get transparent color after first redrawing (after start bg for all icons is black):

• "SystemInformer icon (static)" is transparent and empty
• "Disk history" icon has transparent background.

All other icons get and keep black bg. All this with IconTransparencyEnabled set to 0, on Windows 10 22H2 and SI 3.0.5527.

I've changed the settings so the transparent icons won't be enabled by default.
