I'm not too sure if this is a bug but it's quite annoying. When using /setlayer 255 it doesn't occur but when I use /setlayer 254 or a number less than that and minimize mIRC to tray and then double click the icon to open again it goes completely black.

If it's a low number (/setlayer 100 lets say) it goes a greyish colour and returns to it's white state when you drag the status window.
