Forums mIRC Help windows aero issues with desktop windows

So basically I setup my windows in mirc to go transparent once I place them on the desktop. It all works fine. But for some reason, just ONE of the channels I'm in...when I switch that channel to the desktop, it reverts back to the basic windows aero scheme. It's still transparent, but the bar at the top gets that light blue color. I don't want this.

Any ideas?

The most likely reason is that the channel is using unicode for the channel name or topic and since mIRC is not a unicode application and needs to use a custom display routine for the titlebar, Windows Vista/7 disables aero glass for that window. I am currently working on converting mIRC to a full unicode application. It is an enormously difficult project, the largest that I've undertaken with mIRC so far, but hopefully, if all goes well, the new version may be available before the end of the year - at the very least as a public beta release :-)
