May be too little too late, but here it is. I used this as a base to make up for lost time.
Notes: Because the borders are/almost a pure white, be careful on choosing a wallpaper. The taskbar and borders get "washed out" real easy on bright wallpapers. I suggest a dark one or at least one that has consistent color without bright spots. The taskbar only looks right when used on the bottom, where a Windows taskbar belongs. Browseui.dll does not display correctly on Basic mode. I may update to show the search on start menu. Finally, the shellstyle is designed for the top shell mod (included shell32.dll). If you don't use top shell, modify the shell/find another/turn off by Organize -> Layout -> Details Pane.
I may modify later to show the search on the start menu. Wallpaper Icons

This was by far the most beautiful VS I had ever used when I was on Vista, and the only thing I don't like about Windows 7 is that I'm unable to use this VS on it. Please, for the sake of a truly beautiful user experience, will you port this to Windows 7, or even update it to Windows 8? Something this simplistic and minimalistic should be used by Microsoft themselves.
CooL! I got Windows 7... but I want Vista back! Themes for Vista are more beautiful (even default)! This one is not an exception - it is beautiful! Who will make the same for Windows 7?
Still using Vista...check em out:
