I've set up a sliding show schedule header for Air America, although unfortunately, you can't preview it yet. (That'll launch in April). I found a good use for the hoverIntent module there: when you scroll over a show icon, the upcoming show information will be displayed below. Usually, you would just use jQuery's .mouseOver event for that. However, using hoverIntent, it slows down the reaction, so if you zip your mouse past an icon, it won't automatically set the text: you'll instead need to intentionally point your mouse at it for half a second. I believe this makes the animation much smoother.
Views Slideshow uses that module if it's enabled as well. Note that hoverIntent requires jQ and (if you're using Drupal 5) jQuery Update.
Here's the snippet I used:
jmburnz and others are working on a CSS conversion of the Pixture theme. Here's the project page:

As I've made the other screenshots, might as well include Rob's. (Not as an oversight, I read his blog as well. Just that I had left out Garland until these comments.) Garland FTW!
Hate's a strong word, though I prefer CSS. But that site is another great example, thanks for the link!
Here's a screenshot to that site, that definitely qualifies as minimalist, being only a single column:
Thanks Wim, a good reminder of yet another reason I chose Drupal over Mambo/Joomla all those years ago: Drupal is minimalist at heart, so we can adopt a procedure of adding on rather than stripping down.
