Intended support for VSCode's new Light/Dark 'Modern' themes?

[paulalexwilson]

A few months back, VSCode began shipping with new 'modern' themes, which I very much like:

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_78#_new-default-color-themes

They don't seem to be available currently from what I can see, however I can see the VSCode Dark+ and Light+ themes which now feel old/outdated at least to my eye. Is there an intention to offer the modern themes within Theia?

@paulalexwilson I believe they already are available?

They are contributed by https://open-vsx.org/extension/vscode/theme-defaults.

Looks like the last activity on the eclipse-theia/vscode-builtin-extensions extension repository was to update the baseline to the 1.77 release, however the new themes were released in the 1.78 release.

@paulalexwilson the screenshot I shared shows the same theme. It changed name in 1.78.0 after it was finalized.

Ok - so after downloading the VSIX and installing it, and reloading Theia I can see the Experimental version which looks great. Thanks for your help @vince-fugnitto .
