- tuananh 9y agoseriously? A sublime theme that cost money? I don't think i've seen it before. And it's based on Monokai colorscheme. Not much originality here.
- monokai_nl 9y agoI'm interested to hear why you're surprised that it costs money?
- ship_it 9y agoTbh, I've used ST3 for years and never seen pay-to-use theme, especially not the one that looks 90% like free-to-use Monokai. What are the advantages?
- monokai_nl 9y agoMonokai was created in 2006. I felt it was time for an upgrade. These are the main advantages: 1. The colors are more balanced. If you look carefully at the old Monokai (through your eyelashes), you'll notice some colors 'pop' more than others. Monokai pro solves that issue by balancing its colors based on their perceived lightness. It reads more effortlessly. 2. Custom made, pixel perfect file icons, in matching colors. 3. A user interface that doesn't get in your way, based on the same colors of the syntax highlighting. Monokai Pro is a color scheme and user interface theme in one. It's an integrated whole. 4. Sidebar font syncing based on your user font setting. 5. Five filter variations based on the standard Monokai Pro.
- iEchoic 9y agoI haven't seen it before either, but this clearly took a lot of work and it seems like a reasonable price. I don't mind paying $10-15 for something I'll be staring at every day for possibly years. I really like it, nice work. The Filter Machine theme is my favorite.
