| We would need to add a new config value for theme.defaultFgColor. Could you raise an issue for that @simon-abbott ? |

We have no way of knowing whether a terminal is in a dark or light theme. HOWEVER we do have one trick up our sleeves: the FgDefault colour is going to be black in a light theme and white in a dark theme. So we need to make use of that colour when rendering text. Previously we allowed the user to configure a 'lightTheme' boolean value that would determine whether to use black or white. We're now removing that config value and just using FgDefault.
