I love Vortex Tracker, but there's something I can't figure out…
Ever since the program was taken over by ivanpirog, when you launch the program, it universally changes the Windows 7 text selection colour to a dull blue colour. In the past, this reverted back to normal when you closed the program, but in the latest 2.6 version, it takes a system restart to get Windows back to normal again. (The particular Windows 7 setting is located in Window Color > Advanced Appearance Settings).
Anyone know what causes this? Just a bug? I'm guessing it's not a sign of malware, given that it's on GitHub so the code must be public?

Hi @Lee Bee,
Probably the best thing to do is get an account on GitHub and raise an issue.

Re: Vortex Tracker - why does it change Windows colours?
Thanks, and I'll probably do that at some stage. But, being as paranoid as I am about malware, I'd rather have someone other than the author reassure me that this behavior doesn't appear malicious (like some kind of clipboard logger). I may raise this on a more security-oriented site—but thought I'd try here first because this community is full of exceedingly clever computer nerds whose skills never fail to impress me
