Ok, I figured it out. There is actually a simple fix for it:
just call this
panel_applet_set_background_widget(applet, GTK_WIDGET(applet));
//passing applet for the first and second parameter
when the applet is being initialized.

Title:
Some gnome-panel Applets still use GTK theme's panel-background, even
if "use system theme" is not selected
Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
Confirmed
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Package: gnome-panel 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6
Some panel applets do not following custom background, images, colour or
transparent-colour.
This bug has been around for a long time.
A messy hack to fix this is to set no panel-background options in the
GTK theme (e.g. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/gnome-panel-
transparency-fix-ubuntu/ )
