vista aero + IDE?

I don't know how many of you use the arduino IDE with vista, while using the aero gloss effect as your visual theme, but for whatever reason, when I use the IDE it switches from the gloss effect to the standard vista blue theme...

what i find stranger is that this does not happen with neither the processing, nor the wiring ide's... anyone else have this issue?

This is actually an issue with the older version of Java that the IDE uses.

The easy fix is to make sure that you have the newest version of Java installed, and delete (or rename) the Java folder within the Arduino install folder.
