description
This script offers a nice buffer list that does not get in your way. Just hit a key to open it, it will "slide" in from the left, select the buffer you want to go to, and *swoosh* the list is gone again.

See http://devel.burningsoda.com/vim/bufferlist_ani.gif for a short demo.
 
install details
Just copy the file into your ~/.vim/plugin folder. And be sure to check out it's contents for some settings. It uses a nice trick to get a "full colored" background.
