Here is the final release of the clear water visual style. It turns out the concept i had in mind for the start button [link] is not possible because of the way windows treates the normal state of the start button png. It always kept showing up with a double edge.

But here is what i came up with instead. It still has the clear minimal look i was going for. I'll keep messing with the start button to see if i can work it out. thanks to iavor for figuring out how to make the adress bar and search bar transparent w/o turning black. and to uk.intel for his advice on the start button problem.
