Identify the theme elements and compatibility requirements that need standardization. Done means the theme format is consistently aligned with those ecosystems and is suitable for future import into CodeEdit.

Description

We should work towards standardizing our themes more so they fall in line with Textmate and VS Code themes. This will later allow us to import these themes into CodeEdit and provide users with better control over themes in general.
