+" Theme to mimic the default colorscheme of powerline
+" Not 100% the same so it's powerline... ish.
+"
+" Differences from default powerline:
+" * Paste indicator isn't colored different
+" * Far right hand section matches the color of the mode indicator
+"
+" Differences from other airline themes:
+" * No color differences when you're in a modified buffer
+" * Visual mode only changes the mode section. Otherwise
+"   it appears the same as normal mode
