Something seems... bolder #23

Hi, first thank you so much for this awesome collection of themes! 🎉

One question, and it's possible that this is something misconfigured on my end - after upgrading to v1.5.0, certain keywords seem a lot bolder than before, almost too bold, and feels kinda heavy.

For example, here's a screenshot of the website preview next to the editor with the same contents:

Was this an intentional change? Is something broken on my end? I believe the upgrade to 1.5.0 is the culprit, though my VS Code updated itself as well.

Hi,

The website is using shiki which doesn't do bold and italics on the preview.

But you are absolutely correct about the boldness. I was thinking about this too. The bold seems too much. I don't know if this is something to do with semantic highlighting or new vscode text rendering, but it certainly isn't easy on eyes. So I will revert the bold in the next update.

So I have released new version 1.6.0 and removed the bold styles completely (except from markdown bold). Also I have tweaked a few color tokens to make things more consistent. Do check it out and let me know.
