What are the "default" themes?

Just looking for a little clarity! What exactly are the "default" themes? They look different than the standard versions of the themes obviously, but what does the naming convention mean? Default in what regard? I notice that Dark Default seems to be a much closer match to github.com's new dark mode.

Yes, that's basically it. If you go to https://github.com/settings/appearance, the themes are called "Default light", "Default dark" and "Dark dimmed":

In VS Code it's the same except that "default" is at the end. The additional "GitHub Light" and "GitHub Dark" themes are older version that users preferred to keep around. See #114.

Thank you for clearing that up!

It would help to add Legacy to the title of the old themes to differentiate more clearly.
