Themes or UI Customization

Is it possible to change the window look and feel for the shell? I like the
command line, but, it is still very limited in colors, window widgets, etc.

Thanks

Re: Themes or UI Customization

Below is a sample script from Lee to customize.
---------------------------

The following commands customize your PowerShell console windows to make
many tasks easier:
Example 1-4. Set-ConsoleProperties.ps1
Push-Location
Set-Location HKCU:\Console
New-Item ".\%SystemRoot%_system32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe"
Set-Location ".\%SystemRoot%_system32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe"

New-ItemProperty . ColorTable00 -type DWORD -value 0x00562401
New-ItemProperty . ColorTable07 -type DWORD -value 0x00f0edee
New-ItemProperty . FaceName -type STRING -value "Lucida Console"
New-ItemProperty . FontFamily -type DWORD -value 0x00000036
New-ItemProperty . FontSize -type DWORD -value 0x000c0000
New-ItemProperty . FontWeight -type DWORD -value 0x00000190
New-ItemProperty . HistoryNoDup -type DWORD -value 0x00000000
New-ItemProperty . QuickEdit -type DWORD -value 0x00000001
New-ItemProperty . ScreenBufferSize -type DWORD -value 0x0bb80078
New-ItemProperty . WindowSize -type DWORD -value 0x00320078
Pop-Location
These commands customize the console colour, font, QuickEdit mode, buffer
size, and window size.
