Aero Glass Theme (Windows Forms)

A litle while ago I was on Codeproject and came across a cool little tesxteditor and the whole form was made out of aero-glass, and the whole textbox was too. But I can't find it anymore. Does anybody know where it's gone? Or how I can make my Windows Form completely made out of Aero Glass?

Thank you :)

So this time with the launch of Windows 7, Microsoft provides the Windows 7 API Code Pack. The Windows 7 API Code Pack not only just allows incorporating the aero glass effect, but many other features which will let you to work more conveniently with Windows 7.

The Windows API code pack allows developers to develop those features which are not available with .NET Framework. So to get started visit:

Windows® Code Pack API for Windows 7 & Windows Vista

Windows Training Kit 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1C333F06-FADB-4D93-9C80-402621C600E7&displaylang=en

The training kit includes the demos and presentations, hand-on labs for developers. I haven't yet started with Windows 7 development. But as soon as I get started I will blog some demo for Windows 7.
