Minimal skins have become quite popular when using Stardock's WindowBlinds. They have always been what I personally prefer as they don’t really interfere with the desktop, and overall I just like clean designs. There’s a big selection of WindowBlinds skins on WinCustomize that cover nearly every type of design you might like, but today I wanted to focus on minimal skins so here’s 5 of my favorites.

Good choices...mine? Echo...dani.
Still looking for a minimal white skin, on the lines of Luster or Seer for Win 8. Win8 Metro would be cool if there were a white version. I guess people are more interested in exotic and more colorful type skins.

Seer - there's a blast from the past... Hmm. Maybe time for an update?
But of all the minimal skins I've done I wouldn't have picked laguna to be honest. Primavera might be a more minimal alternative?
nice selection...
'Notepad' is my favourite of Tom's minimals... link..
dani's 'Corporate' is another minimal that is a delight to use..
Madcat21's 'Oblivion' is another goodun... link..
I'm with you, Tim. Primavera still my daily driver.
