News source: The top visual styles of the GUI Olympics
(moderator hat on regarding comments)
These are the visual styles that judges representing multiple websites in the skinning community along with thousands of users also like. If you personally don't like them, that's your choice.
But please show some respect to the skin authors who put in a lot of time into creating skins that you are able to freely use.

It's more a problem of pampered man-children who can't restrict their own infantile urges to crap on the hard work of other people. One too many wedgies and they feel they gotta take out their angst on the world.
Incidentally, the top visual styles in just THIS event get about $1,000 in cash, a Radeon XT, an ATI All in Wonder 9800 Pro, a bunch of software, etc. and of course they all get free copies of WindowBlinds, SkinStudio, etc.
Let me know if you ever see an msstyle contest that has prizes of this magnitude.

(just to name 3 that are on there).
Calling people's work "crap" isn't feedback. It's just disrespectful.

Best Minimalistic visual style event
Some people around here need to realize that many, if not most people out there who are into skinning want to change their Windows GUI in a pretty significant way. They're not looking for something that's like classic but tweaked to be a bit flashier. There were something like a dozen visual style events that covered all kinds of area.
Also, look at the most popular Winamp skins, they're not minimalistic either. They tend to be very feature-heavy. My own tastes on skins change depending on what I am doing. Sometimes it's minimalistic, sometimes I want something that looks really cool and different.
