Hey, I'm using the Soothe theme, with local modifications: https://github.com/terhechte/emacs.d/tree/master/elpa/soothe...

The original can be found here: https://github.com/emacsfodder/emacs-soothe-theme

Another nice theme is Cyberpunk: https://github.com/n3mo/cyberpunk-theme.el

As jbeja answered, I'm using powerline with the default theme for the status bar: (require 'powerline) (powerline-default-theme)
