They take too much screen space, I would prefer a thin ascii char splitline in VIM. > Any way to customize the scrollbar in emacs? Do you really mean the scrollbar, the vertical one that is on the right or left of a buffer's display (called ``a window'', btw)? Or do you mean the horizontal separator between windows, the one below the displayed text, where you see the buffer's name, the current line number, etc.? For the former: (scroll-bar-mode -1) will turn off scroll bars. For the latter: no, you cannot disable it, nor make it a single thin line. About the only thing I know of that can help you is to customize the `mode-line' face to use a smaller font.
