Clojurians Log v2

Hi all. I'm attempting to get started with cljfx and don't have really any experience with javaFx. Also things are complicated by the fact that I'm using crostoni, a linux container built into ChromeOS, though usually i've found it's rare that I run into crostini specific issues in general and they tend to be general linux issues. Anyway I've found that most of the examples will render as 1 pixel wide and very small height unless i specifically set :min-width. Setting these is an ok workaround for now, but I cannot make it work with :fx/type :dialog which doesn't have :min-* properties. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

i am able to resize these 1pixel wide boxes/dialog (if i set :resizable on the dialog) and things work perfectly besides for the sizing
