+<longdescription>
+  Zenburn for Emacs is a direct port of the popular Zenburn theme
+  for vim, developed by Jani Nurminen. It's my personal belief (and that
+  of its many users I presume) that it's one of the best low contrast
+  color themes out there and that it is exceptionally easy on the eyes.
+  Zenburn is a low-contrast color theme. It's easy for your eyes and
+  designed to keep you in the zone for long programming sessions.
