The difference is that applications on Linux use X11 which supports a
number of type hints:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idm140146176778320
When we forward this information to the MS Windows OS, setting the
window type is not sufficient to preserve the same appearance.
I have now applied a fix for this:

This application now works much better both in Windows and Linux, you
can find a 0.14.0 beta Windows installer here:
