Monokai Slate is a VS Code dark theme with a focus for:

1. Long time reading (both code and markdown)
2. Quick and easy spotting
3. Best support for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON and Markdown.

It's ported and enhanced from my other theme for Atom editor: Monokai Slate - Atom, a top download (34k+) Monokai theme on Atom marketplace.
