Why is the fivestar rating displaying/suggesting 4 out of 5 stars when no votes have been made? When adding a node which has a fivestar field and there are no votes yet, it shows 4 out of 5 stars as "on". Is this intended/ normal?

In my preprocess_page hook:

&lt;?php
if (isset($node-&gt;field_rating)) {
                $field = field_view_field('node', $node, 'field_rating', array('label' =&gt; 'hidden'));
                $rating = render($field);
                $vars['title_rating'] = $rating;
            }


which gets rendered like this (with no votes made yet):

&lt;div class="fivestar-widget clearfix fivestar-widget-5"&gt;
    &lt;div class="cancel"&gt;
            &lt;a href="#0" title="Cancel rating"&gt;Cancel rating&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="star star-1 odd star-first on"&gt;
            &lt;a href="#20" title="Give it 1/5"&gt;Give it 1/5&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="star star-2 even on"&gt;
            &lt;a href="#40" title="Give it 2/5"&gt;Give it 2/5&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="star star-3 odd on"&gt;
            &lt;a href="#60" title="Give it 3/5"&gt;Give it 3/5&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="star star-4 even on"&gt;
            &lt;a href="#80" title="Give it 4/5"&gt;Give it 4/5&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="star star-5 odd star-last"&gt;
            &lt;a href="#100" title="Give it 5/5"&gt;Give it 5/5&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Same problem here. I've made a workaround putting a class and set "display: none" in it.
