Here is the first build of a child style that you hopefully like.
It has no templates changed, so import it as a child style to your existing styles.
You can view a live-demo here (http://www.vbulletin.nl/community/index.php?s=&styleid=71)
Note: I only modified a few images, but hopefully we can all work together to get more cool images? Contribute them and I will include them in the .zip!
You can download the style here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118649).
