Description

I installed Ice to hid various icons from my Menu Bar. It worked well for a month or two. Now all icons are shown and the 'Menu Bar Layout' section of the Ice Settings shows two empty bars: no icons at all are shown.

Steps to Reproduce

Restarting the app didn't resolve the problem.
The steps to reproduce are boring: run the app!

App Version

0.11.12

macOS Version

26.2

Additional Information

No response

[wernerfred]

Also 0.11.12 and 26.2.

Please use the latest pre-release: Ice 0.11.13 (macOS Tahoe Beta 2)

Fixes it for me, thank you for the swift response!

For me, this *changed* things but didn't fix them. [image: ice bug.png]

Sadly, this changed things for me, but didn't fix them.

Now the Menu Ber Layout page just stays on "Loading menu bar items..."

@melvynm You can try my test build here: #711 (comment)

[melvynm]

Hi Toni, thanks so much for the lightning fast response. I downloaded the test build, overwrote the 'old' one, launched the test build and granted it all the necessary permissions (after deleting the old entries from settings). Result was the same: "Loading menu bar items..."

You could try to remove everything Ice related with e.g. Pearceaner and the retry.

[melvynm]

That's a useful tool which I didn't know about. Thank you. I installed Pearcleaner, cleared everything Ice-related off my system, reinstalled the test build, and..... Result was the same: "Loading menu bar items..."
