Pi Theme: Monokai Classic

A Monokai Classic theme package for Pi, inspired by the classic Monokai palette and the VS Code Monokai theme.

This theme aims to keep the familiar Monokai feel while adapting it to Pi's terminal UI:

• softer borders
• neutralized tool panels
• balanced code colors
• Monokai-style thinking borders
• dark, readable message surfaces

Included theme

• monokai-classic

Install

pi install npm:@gravewhisper/pi-theme-monokai-classic

Then select it in Pi with /settings, or set it in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{
  "theme": "monokai-classic"
}

Design notes

• Built for dark terminals
• Based on classic Monokai colors
• Tuned specifically for Pi surfaces like:
  • tool output boxes
  • markdown and code blocks
  • selected rows
  • editor thinking borders
