Changing to a dark window frame would require changing the tabs to match as well. Nothing that I feel up to doing I'm afraid. Besides, doesn't this violate a million Apple HIGs? ":set go-=T" is the closest to this that I think I'd like to go. > * You type or click. The toolbar disappears.

This topic has been brought up in the past and it just leads to discussions that I'd rather not participate in (or read for that matter). Sorry, I'm not a big fan of the green diamond either, but it is here to stay. > I love MacVim. Thank you for your awesome work. Cheers! That is always nice to hear. :-) I always appreciate suggestions for change even though I don't really want to accommodate any of the ones you just brought up. Please don't take this as me saying I don't want any change at all -- in fact, I do think we should allow ourselves to be influenced by other editors somewhat.
