Wine Bar Monokai - Visual Studio Code Color Theme

Wine Bar Monokai is a dark color theme for Visual Studio Code that offers a unique and cozy aesthetic. Inspired by the warm, rustic feel of an old wooden bar serving high-quality red wine, this theme aims to make your coding experience more pleasant and visually appealing. It combines the classic Monokai highlighter with a distinctive brown-maroon color palette, creating a comfortable working environment with clear distinctions between your working area and functional elements of the workbench.

Features

• Meticulously crafted: (almost) all color elements are carefully chosen to optimize visual functionality, consistency, and aesthetic

• Intuitive Workflow: designed to enhance your workflow by providing clear separation between your working area (editor, terminal) and functional elements like the sidebar

• Monokai Syntax Highlighter: incorporates the familiar Monokai syntax highlighting, making your code visually distinct and easy to read

Customize the theme

Syntax color

If you want to customize the syntax color, follow the instruction here. I prepared some code sample of various languages in the repository to help testing the colors.

Workbench color

Customizing the color of workbench element is a bit more tricky, as there is no straighforward way to find out the name of the element you want to change (if there is, please let me know!). In any case, the instruction is available here.
