This is a fork of vim-monokai-tasty
which simply makes the background color
black, and adjusts the dark-grayish colors to be a bit darker. The screenshot
shows what I mean:
You can compare it to the original colorscheme included below:
Monokai forever! 🎉 Inspired by Sublime Text's interpretation of monokai, this colour is both gui- and cterm-supported. It works for all languages, and is particularly good for JavaScript and TypeScript development ❤️
Unlike other monokai implementations, vim-monokai-tasty
targets named syntax groups from a variety of modern syntax group plugins (listed below). *74% tastier than competitors 🌮
*according to me
I recommend using Plug.
Add the following to your .vimrc
and run PlugInstall
Plug 'patstockwell/vim-monokai-tasty'
If you use Vundle:
Plugin 'patstockwell/vim-monokai-tasty'
Add the following to your .vimrc
(after the Plug declaration):
colorscheme vim-monokai-tasty
If you use a terminal that supports italic text, add (before the colorscheme declaration):
let g:vim_monokai_tasty_italic = 1
colorscheme vim-monokai-tasty
To use the included lightline.vim theme:
let g:lightline = {
\ 'colorscheme': 'monokai_tasty',
\ }
To use the included vim-airline theme:
let g:airline_theme='monokai_tasty'
For JavaScript, TypeScript, and React development, monokai-tasty supports definitions from all these plugins. Add some of these for an even better look and feel:
Plug 'HerringtonDarkholme/yats.vim'
Plug 'pangloss/vim-javascript'
Plug 'MaxMEllon/vim-jsx-pretty'
Plug 'styled-components/vim-styled-components'
Plug 'elzr/vim-json'
Plug 'jparise/vim-graphql'
- If you use iterm2 (you should), there is an included monokai.itermcolors file.
- If you use GnuCoreutils there is a dircolors file (compliments the iterm colours)
