Electron application Object Browser shows only generic "Panel" objects in tree

I've worked a lot with TestComplete on Java/JavaFX desktop apps.  This is my first encounter with Electron.  It does not seem correct that 99%+ of the objects are generic Panels.  There are very few other object types such as a "Select" or "Textbox."   It seems like there must be a configuration missing.  I have the extensions

- Chromium Embedded Framework Support and Web Testing both enabled.  Am I missing something?  TIA.

      Thanks for the quick reply.  Yes, all requirements met.  Please see attached for an example of my object tree.  TC finds the objects through Object Spy (red-highlights individual objects).  But as mentioned, all (almost all) are id'd as Panel objects.  Very limiting for identification and useful methods/functions.

        OK...update.  It looks like we're using an ancient version of Electron - 1.6.  Good grief.  I see TC starts support at 1.8.2.  LOL.  Maybe that's it.
