LTDR: I want the fourth image to look like the second image.

When using Visual Studio Code and Jupyter Notebook, if I use Matplotlib widgets, the colour of the output cell background is white.

This is very inconvenient. This issue is not present when using regular output(only when using widgets). I need to use widgets to give me interactive plots.

What settings should I change in order to make it work the way I want?

I have searched GitHub issues for the Visual Studio Code Jupyter extension, and I have searched Stack Exchange, but they do not deal with my issue. There are questions that deal with changing the cell colours, but I do not need to change the cell colours. I need to change the output cell background colour. (Please see the last two images. I want to get rid of the white background.)

There is a similar, but not exactly the same and less detailed question that has also gone unanswered for a while now.

When not using widgets, no changes to plt.style

NO_Widgets, White

When not using widgets, but background set to black by calling plt.style.use("dark_background")

NO_Widgets_Black

When using widgets by calling%matplotlib widget and no changes to plt.style

Widgets_White

When using both, %matplotlib widget and plt.style.use("dark_background")

Widgets_Black
