applet doesn't load right on login

[esheris]

Hello,
I recently started using this applet with mate/i3. I got my i3 config all set up and added the panel. everything seemed fine, even picked up my colors.

The problem comes when i start my computer back up in the morning or log out and back in. The panel loads but its just white. If I remove it and re-add it, it comes back looking and functioning correctly, but this is a bit of a hassle every time.
