I clicked around for quite some time and never found anything resembling screenshot.

Do they really require me to download and install just to see how the app looks?

Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I am naive for wanting a screenshot. Either way I probably will never find out what it looks like...

A click away is this comparison with the beta:

It's the Blend interface and I dig it too. But I like dark windows and stuff in general - I know it's not for everyone.

Looks like this is shaping up to be the "Maddox Visual Studio, the best Visual Studio on the internet". Capital letters, black backgrounds, now we just need insulting error messages full of manliness.

Interesting, those colors are pretty similar to my custom VS2010 theme: http://i.imgur.com/bLOxQ.png

Although in VS2010 as far as I know you can't change the colors of the explorer menus and such, but it appears in those new screenshots that you can in VS2012.
