KDE Plasma 5 ignores launcher icons on running applications

Hello, I have installed Firefox and Chromium and I am unable to change the icon, when they are running. The .desktop launchers follow the icon theme, but when I click on them to start, the running application has the default icon. This only appears on Chromium and GIMP. Firefox uses the icon from my icon theme. I edited the .desktop files at $HOME/.local/share/applications and also in /usr/share/applications, but nothing happened. You can find the screenshots below. What I have to do, so Chromium and GIMP follow my icon theme also when they are running?

Thanks, Voglscheichn

Launcher icons:

Taskbar icons:

KWin icons:

Try toggling the "use launcher icons for running applications" in task manager settings.

Offtopic: which desktop theme do you use?

@Soukyuu:
Thank you for your reply, when I check this and confirm it with Apply → OK, it is unchecked, when I reopen the task manager settings.

EDIT: The checkbox now works in Plasma 5.4, but in KWin, only Firefox uses the icon from my icon theme.

@AnAkkk:
I use the Dark Breeze theme.

Weird, it doesn't look like that for me. How did you manage to get it that "transparent"?

That is only because I made a screenshot with KSnapshot and it removes the background, it does not appear transparent at my desktop too.
