I just discovered yadr with an amazing look&feel that makes macvim really looks like Emacs:

I was wondering if anybody is aware of a way to make emacs buffer bars having a similar look?

    I don't know what you mean by "buffer bars" but if you're talking about vim's statusline in those screenshots then look at [Powerline](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PowerLine) to have Emacs' mode line formatted that way. – Randy Morris Oct 18 '12 at 13:01

The effect you are seeing is the Powerline plugin for vim. This idea has been ported to Emacs and is available on EmacsWiki. There are a few forks of this available on GitHub as well.

There are many Emacs ports of Powerline, but the most notable is this one and this being the original port to Emacs. A world of caution though - cool toys like the powerline tend to play bad with some modes and are mostly pretty rather than practical.
