Quit Photoshop.
Move the support script in Presets/Scripts/Stack Scripts Only/LatteUI.jsx to the Desktop.
Then, save the code below with the same name to the same location as above.
Restart Photoshop.
If this works, then great! If not, replace the updated file with the original that you moved to the Desktop.
