After updates on 7/26/19 the wifi applet has a black box around it and the icon is distorted regardless of theme or icon set. How would one troubleshoot this? ![Screenshot%20from%202019-07-26%2015-16-30](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/ubuntubudgie/original/2X/4/4ed307c29bd2ab350627540ca97206d9a1c168a6.png)

Known issue upstream. Restart the panel or logout and login.

Personally I use the network applet from budgie applets rather than this old network manager system tray app.

I removed the system tray applet and added the network applet. Work around complete! Restarting the panel removes the black box, but doesn’t help the icon appearance . 🙂

Probs an issue with your icon theme (Papirus?) then. I also use Papirus with the network applet, no issues. Try the Pocillo icon theme, please…

This is no longer a problem and I don’t care for the Pocillo icon theme.
