The X button one the addon info window is invisible



Same happens if you look at the changelog.

Not sure when it started happening.

The area where the x button should be still works.

Mine is still shown, on 2 different puters.
Maybe your computer antivirus or whatever does not allow to extract textures Minion tries to use (if Minion does this for ther X texture).
Try to install Minion to another folder than standard and allow Minion's folder in your antivirus etc. (add to whitelist, add to exclusion) or try Minion 32bit even if your OS is 64bit.

Did you scale your resolution of Windows recently? Maybe it got to do with this.

Minion broke this way for me today as well.


Was working yesterday, I made no changes to system since so is Minion created issue.


And just now tried okaying it with antivirus apps, and the x button is still busted.

But I understood it correctly, it's just invisible but still there and clickable?
Maybe install Minion to another folder than the standard c:\users\...\AppData\Minion

Did you recently update Windows or Java?
What Windows version are you guys using?

Same problem here.

Started happening yesterday or day before. Had not updated windows or java. Using Windows 10. There was an update waiting for me this morning, which I ran. Still have the problem. Seems like it started happening after recent ESO patch which is kind of odd.

Eso and it's game files got nothing to do with Minion!
Minion only downloads addons, so even if eso would not be installed at all it would not make any difference.

I'm on Windows 2004. I had made no changes at all to my system in between Minion working two days ago and Minion with invisible x button yesterday.

Considering not one of you read the sticky post and added their minion.log file, all anyone can do is guess.
Minion uses FontAwesome for those icons and they still show for me, so you probably got some antivirus update which blocks loading that font for whatever reason.

Sorry...never had to post here and found this thread via a google search.


Can't add log, file size too big.


Forum does not accept .rar or .7z

The log doesn't show any obvious errors, but after some digging I found out that the version of controlsfx used by minion does not include the font file and instead loads it via the internet (later fixed by this commit). It's getting blocked by your antivirus, firewall, proxy or some other program.
If you do not know how to update the configuration of those programs to allow it again, the easiest fix is to replace the controlsfx version with one that embeds the font.

Steps to do that:
1) Go to the folder where Minion is installed and locate controlsfx-8.40.11.jar in app/lib.
2) Move or delete that file
3) Download controlsfx-8.40.13.jar from here.
4) Important: Rename it to controlsfx-8.40.11.jar (since that's the name Minion is expecting)
5) Move it to the app/lib folder

With that it should show the icons again. I haven't tested if updating the controlsfx version causes any other issues, but at least Minion was loading fine for me.

Thank you, that fixed it.

Yeah it's a mystery to me as well, if something is blocking it, could only be Windows Defender or firewall suddenly and mysteriously blocking it, because nothing was changed my end between it working then next day not working, and my other security software already gives Minion access.

Windows Defender has something called "Cloud-delivered protection", which can push security updates in the background at any time without you knowing about it. Maybe it started blocking that font file for some reason? You could try to press Win+F and report the issue in the windows feedback hub. Maybe Microsoft will fix it.

Interesting. can you try if it downloads the font when you visit this link? Maybe it's blocked by an ISP and you all happen to live in the same area?
