Darcula theme just got a downgrade... why?

I just updated my GoLand version and boom, Darcula was changed. I went to my highlighting settings and was able to confirm that the defaults are now much more bland than before. I dug around for the GoLand release notes and found this:

There is a tiny snippet on syntax highlighting, but no mention of the changes to the Darcula theme. Does anyone know anything about this?

Built-in Darcula theme wasn't changed. If you copied it and modified before then your copy doesn't contain rules for highlighting function calls and may not highlight them. You can assign colors in your theme at `Settings | Color Scheme | Go | References | Function call` or switch to built-in one.

I'm seeing a similar issue with Dracula, maybe it's the same problem?

It looks like the style isn't properly being applied, in the screenshot we have actual code on the left and the settings window on the right and you can see it's not matching the identifiers in many places.

Setting a custom color for those identifiers also doesn't actually apply it ...

Compare that to Dracula Colorful, which is working fine:

This is how Darcula for Go

looks like now, it reuses the IDE-wide function call color. Feel free to change it.
