Then, the shadow that's around its SVG appears black, because the desktop can't handle the alpha channel. I thought applets with support for opaque mode should have their additional SVGs provided. So you should just make another lancelot SVG theme and put it into opaque/lancelot . It will be used to render when composite is off.
