+1 for me too.
The point is we should make the tray more consistent and less cluttered
ihmo, esp. because it kinda disorient "regular users" about the "things"
the tray stores. Be them plasmoids, application's tray icons, or daemons
reminder, the user doesn't care about how they are implemented, but which
actions they provide. Soooo yep, having all monochrome icons is a great
improvement about consistency :)

An other thing that will improve _a lot_ consistency (thus, the user
experience) is to have a default "look" when the tray icon are clicked:
just think about what you see when you click on the battery or device
notifier icons, versus the klipper or kmix ones. (by the way, please
forgive me for not having finished the kmix qml port yet; hopefully this
month i'll be less busy :)
Cheers,
Diego
