[SOLVED] Icons of background applications disappeared

I have problem with system tray on panel. When I open applications like discord, boinc, caprine, xpad in background it's icon doesn't show up on panel. It used to work without any issues. Something has stopped working without any config changes made by me.

Thank you for your help in advance!

I use

 Xfce 4.18 with Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) 6.1.0-32-amd64

Do you have the "Status Tray" plugin on the panel?

You are right. It wasn't added. In polish language which localization I use with systray was listed under a very cryptic name (Wtyczka zasobnika stanu). I thought there is no systray to choose and I need to install something.

Thank you for your answer!
