Most of the time they don't display any useful information, so I'd rather save some screen real estate by making them smaller or, even better selectively toggling them on/off. I did some pretty extensive searching, but all I could find is the face named "fringe" which can be customized (which would allow me to change the fringe color). Furthermore it looks like there once were parameters "left-fringe" and "right-fringe" in default-frame-alist describing the width of these fringes (I found some elisp code named "fringe.el" by Simon Josefsson which mostly manipulates these) but setting these does not seem to have any effect in emacs 21.3.
