I would like to get console2 to work nicely with UAC

Particular problems I would like to tackle:

If I start non-elevated, have a way to elevate while running. It'd be especially nice if I could elevate individual tabs
I would like to get different coloring for admin/non-admin, similar to: this link. Basically, if I can get the console to execute a command on startup (similar to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun registry value), that's all I need

How do I get this working? Would I have to modify source code to get this to work, or can I use different tab settings/do hacks w/ shell executables?

I am using Windows 7, although I would imagine any working solution would also work on Vista.
