Thanks for the find and the fix - lacking a Mac kinda prevents me from seeing such things happen. Fix will be in next release

No button labels or icons either on macOS Mohave and XQuartz 2.7.11. See attached. Worked fine until I just upgraded from version 4.2.

  As indicated earlier - I dont have a Mac - so I'm not going to be much help here. However, given that MacOS Mohave is rather recent (June 2018?) and XQuartz is an Apple-ized replacement of the Xorg Xserver, I cant help but suspect that something might be amiss in that arena or with the combination of the two with whatever version of TK is being used.
  I dont dispute what you see, Im just saying there doesn't appear to be much that TkDiff itself (the application) can do about it, unless someone knows of some arcane workaround.

I applied Kevin's toolbar fix to my copy, and it definitely fixes the tooltips (I applied it to tkcvs too. Thanks Kevin!) As for the button labels, I see them on High Sierra, which is as far as my 2011 iMac will go. However I should be able to look at it in two weeks when my new Mac Mini arrives.

Thanks for the efforts. Previous report was on my work computer (MacBook Pro 15" 2017)). I just tried it on my home computer (iMac retina 5k 27 inch 2017) and 4.3.5 works fine! Same version macOS (10.14.2) and XQuartz (2.7.11). I will try to find possible differences.

  The invisible-button-text problem in Mojave is unrelated, and is a problem in Wish itself. It's fixed by installing Wish 8.6.8 . I filed a new ticket on that, so this one can be closed pending the toolbar-raise fix.
