Really appreciate all the effort and bringing these fixes so quickly!
Regarding the not really recommended editing of the settings file: I had some time and wanted to mess around with it a bit, sadly no luck over here. Any changes resulted in Minimeters immediately crashing upon opening, I see why it wasn't recommended haha. No worries though, I can hold out till the update arrives. Also replacing the settings file with the original backup and then restarting solved the crashing.
