The colour scheme and font selection are particularly appealing to me
and with emacs23 I find that the window looks like it is missing a
border at the right hand side (partly due to the unusual decision to
place the scroll bar on the left) which is odd.  Some of this is just
familiarity, some of it could be fixed with configuration.
