WIP

Clean, clear, dark, color-coded theme without bullshit:

No italic or bold (except markup files)
No underlining (except links)
Good contrast
~~Bugs fixed, PRs merged, etc~~

Theme focuses mostly (but not entirely) on editor colors, the rest are defaults (default dark or something). Inspired by One Monokai theme, but instead of blending One Dark and Monokai, it blends Default Dark, Monokai Dimmed and Monokai (and a little bit of One Dark, it's complicated).

Light theme was also added to complement dark theme on bright days. It is a sensible theme with the same color-coding as dark theme, although it is rather a temporary replacement for dark theme, which seems superior.

Actually it appears to be much harder to make a good-looking light theme than a good-looking dark theme. So dark theme looks superior by default.

With that said, in my opinion, light theme is more practical than default light themes supplied with vscode.

There are also some CMYK colors were used (light themes are hard).

Tested on C++, Lua, Typescript. Markdown will also get some love (not too much). Shell seems to work fine too, as well as GLSL, but don't quote me on that.

Other languages might also work, i don't know. Theme isn't tailored for any particular language specifically, but it has quirks for C++ and Lua here and there.

P.S.

Two Monokai was taken, so it was renamed to Eleven Monokai to leave a room for Three Monokai, Four Monokai and so on.
