I've had a quick look at KAlarm with this patch. It looks good, but there are some issues.

1) The systray icon doesn't change for me depending on the disabled/part disabled/enabled status. (I did check that the ox8-* icons had been installed properly.)

2) I think that the notification needs to remain visible for longer - it hides itself very quickly, leaving not enough time to read the times for a list of alarms. Even with just one alarm, I have to move the mouse and re-show the notification just in order to read the time displayed, if I'm not concentrating and looking for the time.

3) Am I right in supposing that KStatusNofifierItem can't use icons/pixmaps which have been programmatically generated, so that is the reason you've created a disabled icon file?

4) The new icons will need to be created in a larger size (22x22). Probably the best way would be to do a screen dump of the old icons.

5) Can you please adhere to KAlarm's coding style for braces and tabs - braces are on a new line, and braces aren't used for a single-line 'if'/'else' statement. Use tabs to indent (which you have done), but use spaces thereafter to indent further for statement continuation lines.
