Usage

Two a matplotlib style and two functions are provided:

The style can be applied using matplotlib's plt.style.use function:

plt.style.use('vscdark.vscdark')

def set_style(new_theme: str | None = None, dark: bool | None = None, display_css: bool = True, verbose: bool | None = None) -> None:

This function applies the current theme configuration and potentially changes options.

Arguments:

The IPython.HTML object containing the CSS can also directly be accessed using the css function:
