Most of the credit goes to Studio Pres Designer, Lauren Mancke and perhaps others on her team. Took some trial and error on the background. An easy guide is to take a large photo, draw a white rectangle somewhere off the artboard, draw black rectangle over entire artboard including photo and over the white rectancle. Set black rectangle opacity to so underlying white rectangle matches the color of the demo site's laptop, roughly #6d6d6f and tweak from there.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantcneuman, activating HTML5 in all themes is discussed in multiple pages both on and off the Studio Press website. It all starts here:
http://www.studiopress.com/news/genesis-2-0-resources.htm
You should back up your site before proceeding. Then download to your local machine, your functions.php and style.css files from your child theme's folder.
In the functions.php file, you paste inadd_theme_support( 'html5' );
, upload and make sure you site didn't break. If it did, undo the recent change on your local machine and upload again to restore or restore from your backup.
Once your site is converted, it will look goofy until you change your CSS tags to match the new HTML5 tags that resulted from the conversion. The reference for those tags is found here: http://my.studiopress.com/docs/genesis-markup-comparison/
You have to go down the list replacing one tag with the other such as replacing #wrap with .site-container which I do with a search/replace_all command in my editor.That gets most all the tags but not always each and every one. So you have to investigate and see what other issues you face.
Also, when you do this, your header text will probably come back if you had it hidden before . This is pretty easy to remedy by logging into your site, go to Appearance/Header and reset the former selection.
In any event, if you worked on files on your local machine and uploaded them, you can simply reload the reverted files. It might be a good idea to save a back up version of you functions.php and style.css (funtionsBAK.php and styleBAK.css works) in case you get totally flustered....it's happened to me.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantDev, I hear where you're coming from. The new Agency appears to have abrubtly abandoned it's former self. I think it's cool just in and of itself, however it's target is way off in a different place. Why would SP do this? I don't know. But as you said, the buttoned down version is still there and I have very successfully converted it to HTML5 enabled status. I'd keep my old version because the general styling of it was very malleable.
So, in effect, we have a new theme.
Also, you mentioned Executive but that has been redone to HTML5 in a relatively conservative style. I think it's a keeper, too.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantI just noticed that it doesn't have a portfolio page. With Executive Theme, I believe you can have multiple portfolio pages. I think that same thing would do Agency Pro wonders. Maybe with a few lines of code, that also can be done.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantMaybe I'm a curmudgeon but I don't see the draw or how anyone could think this enhances user experience. For me, I couldn't figure out how to find the pages I was sure were there, such as layouts, colors, etc., it being a Studio Press theme.
When I saw the menu, I still didn't have it figured out and went to another page. Then I couldn't figure out what it was I did to show the menu before. The back button of course didn't work. I was as lost as Rip Van Winkle at Grand Central Station.
But all things being cool, I might just have to go sit in my dark corner and wait for the fad to pass.
