Monokai Pro Vibrant theme for Nova editor

I neglected to blog about this in October 2024, so here it is now.

Monokai Pro Vibrant is my fork of the unofficial Monokai Pro theme for Nova editor, by Tony Keiser.

My fork has a few quality of life changes:

• Theme Vibrancy is enabled, making focused and unfocused windows more distinguishable
• Colour tweaks improve contrast when highlighting found instances of search terms
• Comments are now italicised

I use the Spectrum variation of the theme with the IBM Plex Mono font to great effect.

Monokai Pro

The original Monokai Pro theme by Wimer Hazenberg is not free, so I would encourage you to buy a licence even if you’re using an unofficial port or modification of the theme. It’s only right to support software developers. You can get a licence to use Monokai Pro from the original creator: monokai.pro

Download

I filed a PR for these changes, but it has not yet been accepted. I’m not comfortable distributing this on the official extension gallery at this time. So grab it from GitHub:
