Atomatically switch theme plots in jupyterlab

[silviuuv]

Hi,

Is there a way to detect the change of juypter theme and atomatically switch the plotly theme?
E.g. for Light Jupyterlab Theme -> plotly_white and for Dark Jupyterlab Theme -> plotly_dark

I would like to avoid doing this manually:

layout=go.Layout(template=‘plotly_dark’)

Thanks.

Hi @silviuuv,

i mentioned this topic some time ago already, see here

Make plotly graphs automatically adadpt to JupyterLab theme

Hi @Alexboiboi, I really like this idea, though it would take a bit of work. The challenge is that Jupyter’s architecture is designed so that a kernel can’t directly ask which front-end it’s running in (e.g. IPython console, QtConsole, classic notebook, JupyterLab, etc.). The way around this, for JupyterLab, is to make this information available to the kernel from a JupyterLab extension. I added an issue comment with the idea at https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/1473#issuecomment-47…
