This has been around forever but I'm now reporting on it cause I've had enough of using ZQ and ZC in Windows 7 (or Vista's) 'basic mode'. I'm sure many of you are familiar with how whenever you open ZQ or ZC it turns off all the transparencies and switches away from the nice Aero theme.
You can force Aero by either changing some RegEdit values, or by running the built in troubleshooter (on 7). But, the problem is, is that whenever you change the theme while ZQ or ZC is running the whole program doesn't 'update' itself until you move around the window. So, say you force Aero and then go back into ZQ, you click on a tile but it does nothing. When you move the window around it'll update itself and you now see that it has selected the tile.
I hope the devs can look into making ZQ compatible with 7s and Vista's transparencies, because I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out a way to avoid the insanely ugly 'Basic Mode'.
EDIT: I realize this really isn't vital, and probably not fixable. I'm not positive on how most programs work with the new Window's transparencies but some don't, simply pointing out this annoyance in hopes for maybe an explanation on why this would or would not be possible.
