Skinning Console windows

in Media center

Umm, like how do you do this? I can't find a checkbox or activator anywhere in the configuration window.

This feature was removed...I think it had something to do with a conflict with per pixel alpha-blended frames...the per pixel won.

Wow, look at that. Someone else besides me that wants the feature back. Hummm, what do you know...?

I was waiting for you to comment!  

I agree with you that I'd like to see it back too.  But I wouldn't trade per-pixel for it.

No need to do that chaps, I have found a better solution...

I recommend downloading "Console" from sourceforge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

This will skin like any other application window and even includes alpha-transparency, I have also configured mine to run the Cygwin bash shell in its main window as I'm a bit of a *NIX nut but you can also run Powershell or Dos.

Someone please give me a blantant example of what per-pixel does visually for us? I can't seem to find a definative answer to this to form a proper viewpoint on it. More specifically, tell me what you couldn't do without it that you can do now? Specifics please. Pictures would help.
