Add VSCode Modern Light / Dark theme to Windows Terminal

[janson403]

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?

What version of the Terminal are you using/?

#16953 added some of the earlier VsCode schemes.

There's also #15452 for earlier discussion.

Can you add your settings.json? There should be a setting to automatically adjust the color based on contrast...

1.22.11751.0

Yes but these themes are dark themes, not light themes.

There's also #15452 for earlier discussion.

Yes but i think the main problem is not solved in this discussion, that when the background is light, the foreground "white" should actually be black, at least should be darker than bright white, so as other light colors. (we could only solve it by adding our own color palettes, because none of the default themes is like this)

Can you add your settings.json? There should be a setting to automatically adjust the color based on contrast...

Yes i know there is, but even if i opened this setting, using one half light theme, and input "git clone", we still could not see "clone". I guess that this setting could transfer colors that very close to the background color, but not colors that are exactly same to the background color (for example, for theme tangle light, the white color is not exactly white, so this foreground white color is affected by this setting, but for one half light, the foreground white color is exactly same to the background white, so it's unaffected).

Here's my settings.json file, i added a vscode light theme here:
