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: 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.
UPDATE:
Screen capture is here of the behavior: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6cu06ecwy2baa3/conemu.mp4

All works as expected on my side. Need for more information: run "ConEmu /log", make screenshot of full screen, attach screenshot and log files (created on desktop or in program folder). – Maximus – 2013-06-18T15:04:38.247
Hmm... tried it on another computer at work with windows 7 and it works as expected. The computer I had the problem with was my macbook pro with windows 8 installed. I can try it more after work later today. – Tomas Jansson – 2013-06-19T06:46:00.637
@Maximus, I've updated the question quite a lot. The problem wasn't the transparency, it was the color mainly. But it is still a problem. – Tomas Jansson – 2013-06-19T18:20:43.110
Without your exported settings I can only guess. "App distinct"? – Maximus – 2013-06-19T20:48:16.310
I was so in the mode of trying to figure it out myself so I totally forgot your comment about screenshot and log file, I'll do that later today. I notice now that the conemu at work always starts in admin mode which is weird, I am administrator but I haven't checked that it should start in admin mode. – Tomas Jansson – 2013-06-20T06:38:03.450
@Maximus, I've added logs and a screen capture of the behavior. – Tomas Jansson – 2013-06-21T14:39:23.270

- that is wrong log, from autoexited instance. I need logs from your running instance. And export of your ConEmu settings. Also, comment please, what are you doing on your video. – Maximus – 2013-06-22T16:54:25.507in the video I first start conemu two times just clicking it, and as you see the background is black. When right clicking and starting as admin the last time it is opening as I expects and the background is blue. I've updated the post with links to new log files and settings. – Tomas Jansson – 2013-06-24T14:22:28.707
