Description

Description of the new feature

When using light theme One Half Light and input "git clone", the word "clone" could not be seen. We could hardly see "clone" in theme Tango Light and Solarized Light. However, the light theme in VSCode does not have this problem. I got the color palette using the extension "Generate Windows Terminal Scheme" and everything looks right (the final picture). Could you please add VSCode Modern Light / Dark theme into the set of default themes? And if possible, the blue cursor?
