Inspired by brendanblackwood's material-monokai-syntax theme, my favorite Atom Syntax theme.

This theme uses sickill's vim-monokai as a base with its colors shifted to the Material Design color palette. It is recommended that you use a matching terminal theme.

NOTE: A terminal that supports true colors is strongly recommended. There is a 256 color fallback, but it doesn't look that great.

Install this color scheme using your preferred Vim plugin manager, then add the following to your .vimrc file:

set background=dark
set termguicolors
colorscheme material-monokai

Enable italic comments (terminal permitting) by adding the following to your .vimrc file:

let g:materialmonokai_italic=1

Enable subtle Spell highlighting:

let g:materialmonokai_subtle_spell=1

Disable the custom ALE indicators if you want to set your own or like the default ones:

let g:materialmonokai_custom_lint_indicators=0

Includes a matching Airline theme. To activate it, add the following to your .vimrc file:

let g:airline_theme='materialmonokai'

Enable subtle mode indicator. By default both sides of the bar will change color based on the current mode. Turning this setting on will make only the mode label change color. To activate it, add the following to your .vimrc file:

let g:materialmonokai_subtle_airline=1
