Description
For my 5th style (has it been 5, it feels more like 25) I decided to continue to push the boundries of the traditional VS whilst hopefully keeping to my minimulist roots. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether I have exceded my grasp or not.Be sure to see the readme before installing the style. It contains important info regarding the startpanel. Also be sure to install the included fonts before installing the style as well. I have also included several wallpaper variants.
Lastly I want to give a big thanks to heylove, for being my sounding board on this project and for putting up with my manic rantings at times. She was the inspiration behind the startpanel by way of showing me what could and could not be done in stylebuilder. So if you like it thank us both and if you hate it blame her
Just kiddin.enjoy
Update........
Due to DA's spasmatic on again off again download performance an alternative download can be found here [link]

Great skin! I've been using it for a long time now but this is the first time I noticed that there is an alternate widget animation and then I realized this feature was not working on my computer, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Important
You say (In the readme-file) that the font Century Gothic is a payfont. Which is just partly true. It comes along with the MS Office-package so if you have MS Office installed on your computer - you already have Century Gothic and there is no need for a fontinstallation.
Awesome minimalistic theme though! Well done!

An interesting Theme, but the start menu needs some attention.
The fact that the titles of applications are white on such a light background is a little off-putting in use.
Also, the colour bars in the start menu could do with some adjustment.
While they are a nice addition, they intrude into the programs list far too much and having the same colour around the power/log off area creates an 'L' shape that feels a little odd, visually.
Also, the 'Active' state for windows doesn't seem to fit the style of the theme.
Perhaps try a look without the heavy boarder?

You people make me laugh. If you read the comments you will see Grayhouse posted a link to another source...
@Gray: Excellent work, mate. This is pretty much perfect for me.

Erm, I like it. Still waiting on someone finding me a nice pale contemporary desktop to go with it, along with some icons (using your "Box 3" ones atm, but they don't match this new color scheme so well).
Excellent work though.

It really still angers me the amount of people who give little more than a 'fancy screen shot' a favourite and not on the fact that they have actually tried and *liked* the thing!
The simple fact is that as a concept piece its a nice 'image' that we have before us.. but downloading the Visual Style and actually attempting to use it would allow you to see that its not useful in everyday use!
Once again I am giving Grayhorse a 3/10 rating.. because I've tried it and absolutely *hated* the thing after 5 minutes of elongated use! It just DOESN'T GELL TOGETHER.. there are portions that are invisible to see.. its a WASTE OF DOWNLOAD TIME ..
View the image and enjoy it.. but please, don't waste a click on 'favouritng' it without having downed it (if you don't wish to trust my view) ..
Sheesh.

Wow dude talk about being tackless !

dude seriously shut the fuck up. untill you can do something better then keep mouth shut. if you don't like it then simply say you don't like it and why. there's no need for your harsh comments. especially when someone worked hard and took the time to create these for you. not everyone will like it and that's fine but that doesn't mean if you don't like it you can bash the shit out of the person who took the time to make it. why the hell do you care about what people favourite? how does that reflect you in any way? if something like that really angers you, you should seek professional help. that's all i have to say.
oh by the way, grayhouse you did an excellent job

After downloading it and trying it, I'm not too fond of it overall. Great concept but the business with the font deterred me from using it. The font is too small and hard to read but when I tried to change it, not all of the fonts all over changed to what I want even though I changed all the places they could be done. I'm more a fan of rounded edges just ever so slightly. Still, the overall style was really nice.
