Monokai AC Theme

Monokai AC is a dark color theme for Visual Studio Code. It adapts the classic Monokai palette with adjustments to text, syntax, and interface colors for a clear and consistent editing experience.

Installation

To install a packaged build locally:

1. Open the Extensions view in Visual Studio Code.
2. Open the Views and More Actions menu.
3. Select Install from VSIX... and choose the generated .vsix file.
4. Open Preferences: Color Theme and select monokai-ac.

You can also install a package from the command line:

code --install-extension .\theme-monokai-ac-1.1.0.vsix --force

Development and Test Packaging

This extension contains a JSON color theme and does not require a compilation step. Install Node.js and the official Visual Studio Code Extensions command-line tool:

npm install -g @vscode/vsce

From the extension root, generate a test package with:

vsce package

The output filename is derived from the extension name and version in package.json, for example theme-monokai-ac-1.1.0.vsix. Install it with the command above, then verify the theme by opening representative source files and checking syntax colors, editor selections, diagnostics, and common workbench surfaces.

The extension also contributes syntax support for GNU assembler (.s, .S) and NASM (.asm, .nasm). The samples cover x86-64 AT&T and Intel syntax, ARMv7, and AArch64.
