How to get PowerShell colors when running as admin

Question

I'm trying to setup conemu and like the transparent window feature and being able to specify color scheme. It works great with transparent and color window when I'm not in admin mode. This is what I have as a prefined task

cmd  -new_console:a

powershell  -new_console:a

Everything starts as expected but the windows don't get the color I expect. If I remove -new_console:a I get transparency, but I'm not administrator anymore. So what can I do?

UPDATE 2:

UPDATE: Some more information. I'm running Windows 8 on a Macbook Pro Retina if that could be causing an issue.

I've updated the title and subject since the problem wasn't the transparency; it was that the color was black, but the black color didn't have the same transparency "effect" so I didn't see that I had transparency. However, there is still the problem with color. I have setup powershell.exe to user powershell color scheme, but it is still white on black.

I can use a work around by always running conemu as administrator, but I would like to know how I can solve it without that.
