taskbar shows up without icons or text

[missymoo212]

Hi, I'm having an issue where the task bar shows up as a pink rectangle but without any of the elements visible. I know they are present, because I can hover over them and see the popups, but the actual bar is just blank pink. The menu appears as normal, but when I try to change the settings I don't see any changes in the skin. Thank you!

Same issue here.

Given Modular Taskbar uses MagickMeter, and by extension it's parent application "ImageMagick", that's where I first turned my troubleshooting to. There is indeed an issue with the latest version of ImageMagick, version 7.1.1, appears to be completely broken. Downgrading to version 7.0.11 fixed that issue and ImageMagick/MagickMeter now works as seen on the image below. However, even after a system restart this still didn't fix Modular Taskbar, so I'm not sure if the issue is related or not, but I can at least assure that even with MagickMeter working Modular Taskbar still isn't showing any icons.

My rainmeter is up to date and I followed every step of the guide(minus Spicetify-CLI, since I don't use spotify), so I dunno maybe it's a Windows update that broke something? I'm running Windows 11 Pro 24H2, if that helps at all.

I might try some other troubleshooting steps later like downgrading the rainmeter version and booting Windows in clean boot, just in case some other program is somehow causing this, but for now it's pretty much unusable on my machine, sadly.

Same happens to me. It appears the latest version that works is the v1.2.0 (Which is, not so surprisingly, the latest version before the v2, which doesn't work), . I'm going to try comparing what's different and try some manipulations.
