With the current font in my uxrvt-unicode terminal the separator does not look good (it does in gvim. Reading the source code I stopped at this line:
let lpad = g:buftabline_separators ? nr2char(0x23B8) : ' '

I think it would be nice to allow some other character via some globar variable like:
g:buftabline_separator_character

I know this will be disappointing: I’m not going to do that. You’re asking for something too specific. There are too many other hardcoded bits about the design of these tabs, some of which only work well with other hardcoded bits, and I don’t want to make them all separately configurable one by one over time whenever someone asks for another bit; the result would be a mess.

It would be nice if people could make their own designs. I’ll try to think of how to abstract out the design in such a way that the result makes sense.

(This overlaps greatly with #13.)

Ok. I see your point.
I think the request is firmly related (coupled) to the buftabline_separators, that's why I asked.

Hardcoding stuff is a bad design principle, so I agree about making a design change.

Thanks.
