Simple dashboard with recent files

What? The only dashboard plugin that I know is quite old, and it really looks like emacs, it has a style that I don't like.

Why? I would like a much simpler dashboard, with a message, a list of recent files and the ability to do some customization easily (colors, ascii art for the message ...)

Potential existing implementations: I don't think they are ... There is of course the dashboard plugin And a mru vim plugin
