✅ Avalonia - Can't see anything even though control is styled

I am trying to follow along with this lovely example. https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.Samples/blob/main/src/Avalonia.Samples/CustomControls/RatingControlSample/README.adoc The problem I am having is that the example uses ReactiveUI and I am using the community toolkit, but really that shouldn't matter since there isn't any MVVM going on in my code. I just want to see some stars. For some reason I can see the stars in the resource file

But I can't see it in the main window when running.

The main window is super simple so I am not sure how I could've messed that up
