< so, the decorations in this bar...
Did you make your color-theme yourself? I have a vim color theme on one computer that I really need to figure out how to port to my other machines because it always makes me smile to use it.
No I didn't. I use zenburn.

It is a port of a vim theme. Have you made yours yourself? I'd love to see it.
I have all my emacs config versioned, can't you do the same with your vim config, including theme?
