have you launched this theme? there are some link to download?
1 - I like this style small fonts, it helps to save screen space. (i have a 1024x600 netbook!)
2 - but in contradiction, the size of each interface takes too much unnecessary space.
3 - maybe you should rethink the place and how each interface is shown on the screen.
put the names in the title format in each interface (This is "interface name")
gives a feeling that I always need to look at the title to see the interface
in which I am, it occupies a lot of space and become useless after some time of use.
4 - I suggest using instead, a hidden label (on bottom) that shows up "OnEnter"
a good theme.
I'm listening!
I myself (You might have guessed) is using the big screen think the extra space work since the information itself is rather compact.
But i made a few tries and the "Title" can of course be hidden by default and shown on "OnEnter".
Compact(er)

Your resolution

And there's only one "interface box" (Time, Sysinfo,music) shown at a time.
as its theme does not seem to be available for download, at least post a video on youtube so we can see your theme in action. I edited your screenshot to illustrate my suggestion (without titles, plus hidden labels or tolltips = saving screen space)
There isn't a theme to download because there isn't one yet, its all photoshop.
Here is the new preview...

Been looking at modules but having a hard time finding documentations on some of them, a lot of them are old ls-sits that are down.
Modules come with docs and are placed in the docs folder per the theme standard. What specific module docs are you looking for though...I still have a good chunk of things from LSnet on my desktop at home.
xDesk and xLabel had missing </title> in there html so it didn't show anything when i opened it, an easy fix though.
It's alright, but I'm not big on hyper-minimalism.
I'm shearing with you all a "beta" of the theme.
It's far from finish but I'm having some problems.

* Taskbar (has a lot of work)
ButtonText are at the left edge and i cant find anything that change that. Colors when Tasks are groupt seem a bit off, cant get Active group to have its own color.
The taskbar will have two rows ( i think), either it will be as it is now with a fixed height or the height will change if there are more tasks then one row will allow. Grouping task makes is a lot smaller so perhaps its not necessary with two rows on larger resolutions.
* Systray
Beside the fact that i hate the icons all the programs have (unsure if i can change that, information is conflicting).
The scrolling seem to change the order of the icons so that the same icons show up again on a different place instead of being fixed.
* Labels
I've been trying out DiamondXplosion idea and use [line('$ConfigDir$yourtext.txt','1')] to display labelText and all the info, having them in a txt will (hopefully) make it possible to have all the info-ligns on different rows in the txt-file for easier editing.
Problem is that Litestep can't seem to find the file (or any other for that matter). Tried Evar and hardcoded path.
* Layout
When I've gotten the basic functions working the idea is to perhaps have the Labels movable.
Might wanna have a look at this:
http://o-t-s.sourceforge.net/theme_crea … rstructure
Also use this to fix your taskbar text:
xTaskbarFontBorders 0 0 0 0 <- (Left Right Top Bottom)
or
xTaskbarFontBorders 0 0 <- (Left+Right Top+Bottom)
or
xTaskbarFontBorders 0 <- (Left+Right+Top+Bottom)
And:
xTaskbarFontAlign .center (Can be left, right, or center)
xTaskbarFontVertAlign .center (Can be top, bottom, or center)

I'd work on it some more but I'm working on my own theme.

evars *face palm*
I'll take a look at it all, thank you!
Would be nice to know why I couldn't find and use a file with line() of fileExists().
A new version to pick at.

Some small changes in the design has happen.
Tell me whats wrong!
Have an idea to have two bars, one bottom with Taskbar and systray, where the systray will not be shown but will popup when you hit a button or a Hotkey.
The top bar will have all the info labels: NetIn/Out, System info, HDD etc. Perhaps the clock will be up here or it will be on the bottom bar.
The bottom bar or the top will have a small bar with buttons that show/hide all the different modules.
Anyone have any useful input on that idea?
