Change the Theme in Jupyter Notebook?

Question

I like dark themes. However, the default theme of Jupyter notebooks is light, and I can't find the option to change the theme/background-color. How is this done?

Answer 1

This is easy to do using the jupyter-themes package by Kyle Dunovan. You may be able to install it using conda. Otherwise, you will need to use pip.

Install it with conda:

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterthemes 

or pip:

pip install jupyterthemes 

You can get the list of available themes with:

jt -l 

So change your theme with:

jt -t theme-name 

To load a theme, finally, reload the page. The docs and source code are here.
