It is. The KDE "start menu" also has a translucent effect. The
screenshot doesn't show it very well, but another part of the task bar
clearly shows the desktop background below.

The grayscale icons are just as problematic with and without
compositing/effects and this problem is not changed by the effects in
any way.
