Pure CSS based theme : D6
Okay. Not exactly pure since it depends on javascript but in the world of Drupal, working with themes always meant having template files (.tpl.php) bundled with them. In that sense, this is a pure CSS based theme. It works off the default output provided by core templates. Why bother with this? Well, this is just a test for me on creating one with the default markup. It also means less code to deal with and focusing on the design and implementing it with style sheets.
It may not be the easiest way to make themes for some but if your very good with CSS then a lot can be done. I'm sure that most themers will still use template overrides and that's where Drupal 6 shines.
This is an original theme banged out in a day originally to show what's possible in Drupal 6 and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Do as you wish with this theme but please give credit where it's due. License hasn't been decided yet. The theme uses parts of the Blueprint CSS framework. Mainly the reset styles and typography. -why it's not being contributed to the Drupal repository.

The theme still needs refinements and that will come later. And I know, the sliding blocks are annoying but heck, it looks cool.
If you have any questions about the theme then please use my contact form.

This site is temporary and can be pulled down at anytime.
Small update:
Just so the sliding blocks are a little less annoying.
Visual update:
Overall design changed a bit so it looks cleaner.
Update:
It's been committed into the Drupal repository. Blueprint CSS will be dual MIT/GPL license so the theme will be GPL.
