Windows Sidebar Styler is an application designed to allow users to tweak the Sidebar’s User Interface.
Custom
styles allow users to customize the appearance of Windows Sidebar so
that it fits the style of other UI elements, such as the Aero Glass
colorization or third party themes.
You can save your visual styles and share them with other users.
Windows
Sidebar Styler also adds support for WPF Gadgets; Gadgets now take full
advantage of Windows Presentation Foundation - a powerful managed
code-oriented framework for presenting rich visual compositions such as
vector graphics, 3D drawing, animations and more.

Minimalistic Style: 
The
visual styles below remove the grey Panel background, the "Add Gadgets"
button + the Close, Config & the Gripper buttons that appear when
you hover over the Gadgets (see image above). You can still access
these functions in the right click menu from the Sidebar & Gadgets.
The MinimalistiClear Style also removes the backgrounds.
