I find more irony in the union of Vanilla's beauty in plain simplicity and functionality with Vista's ugliness in cluttered, overdone buttons and icons everywhere and unnecessary complication. To each, his or her own view of beauty I suppose.
@Wanderer, no offense meant, but your own forum is no great paragon of minimalist beauty.
That being said i like the Vista style.
@Vishal, very nice work there, did you do any major theme changes (i see #session has moved a bit, but i suppose this could be done with just CSS) or is it mostly CSS?
this reminds me, i should really redone a custom style for my forum.
My forum works for me and my members thanks, I never promoted it as a "great paragon of minimalist beauty".
I think it's absurd (sorry Jazzman) to mimic an operating system "style" (for want of a better word) for a web interface, let alone such a pitiful excuse for one as Vista.
That said, I also dislike the Mac OS "style" on some web sites where they mimic the window style and buttons etc. Such "designs" are as kitsch as those three flying ceramic ducks people have on their walls.
The proof against using an OS paradigm for the web is those frenetic animated GIF ads with the grey Win 95 interface screaming "You've won a prize! Click here!"
I'd post an example, but I don't want to get anyone sick...

Yup, majority css. Few markup hacks here and there.
