Do they exist?

Watch almost any episode of La Femme Nikita, Theatre Matrix, Andromeda, Stargate etc.. and you'll see the computer screens have very flat, yet functional designs with basic colours (usually light blue wireframe borders on a plain black bacground.. you get the idea). I spent all day & night yesterday scouring the archives for skins like this but the nearest I could find was a Longhorn skin but even that was a far stretch from what I'm looking for. I suppose the only utility that could perfect this would be something like winstep or litestep but alas my skinning skills are about as proficient as an elephant learning to drive a motorbike on an ice rink. Those two programs are a bit old and not many skins exist for them.
For those of you who might be getting the wrong idea.. I'm not looking for tv-themed or movie-themed skins with pictures and paraphanaelia cluttering up the desktop. I have always liked the clutter-free "what you see is what you get" simple, almost monochromatic, layout of the computers in those kind of shows and movies. This approach is often used in games because each game has it's own interface instead of relying on the windows interface.
This is the sort of thing I am talking about:

Imagine that filling the entire screen.
That's obviously from Nikita but I don't necessarily want that exactly, just something generic but would not look out of place in a modern espionage or sci-fi show. When you see this type of thing on tv, it is unrecognisable as anything we currently use, like XP. Now I still want the functionality of XP (I'm never going to install Linux for example) as my PC is mainly for games and a few Windows apps.
So the bottom line.. does this sort of skin exist or not?
