We have blogged about "Glass CMD for Windows Vista and 7" which enables Aero Glass in Command Prompt windows. Lots of Vista and 7 users liked it but those people who are still using Windows XP couldn't enjoy the thing.
But now here is a good news for XP users. The same person behind "Glass CMD for Vista and 7" and our friend "Komalo" has developed a standalone CMD executable for XP users.
You can download it using following link:
Just run the EXE file and you'll get the Glass CMD in XP.
NOTE: You'll need to install Microsoft .NET Framework to be able to use this app.
PS: Its under development, so keep visiting the page for updated versions.

Nice VG but there is any Glass theme for XP?

^^ You'll need to use WindowBlinds to get Glass effect in XP.

VG, have you got a portable rar unzipper which is not uploaded at sourceforge.
sourceforge is blocked by most proxies.
Ps: surf through school network. And unblockbypass.com says the file size is too big. :-(

Just got a little problem: I ran Glass CMD for XP, but it changed to full screen and then to window; I went into normal CMD.EXE and set to window for future windows, and I ran glass CMD for XP again but the problem is I see up/down and left/right scroll bar, and some text appears but doesn't appear more until I move the window. I typed EXIT but the window empties when I pressed Enter. How do I fix this?

Sorry, I meant to say was: I was running Windows Classic color scheme instead of XP style.

sorry guys for late but i don't always check the comments here
@Michael Higham
these issues will be fixed
@Leonel T.
i don't think i can implement it in other programs but i will give it a try.
@Kein
actuallyi don't get it, but i think that's because your VGA card doesn't support layered windows
