pygments_style background ignored

[rtimms]

I may be doing something wrong, but simply setting

pygments_style = "xcode"
pygments_style_dark = "github-dark"

in conf.py results in notebook cells displaying with the wrong background color in dark mode. Are there other settings I should be editing too?

Light mode looks as expected:

Dark mode has a light background instead of dark:

Thanks!

Hi @rtimms, what extensions are you using? This theme might not play well with notebooks and such. It works for 'plain' code blocks, but I never tested/developed it for notebooks.

My guess is that whatever extension renders these notebook cells (if that's what they are) as code blocks overrides the background color of the .highlight class.

I'm using the following extensions:

extensions = [
    "sphinx.ext.autodoc",
    "sphinx.ext.intersphinx",
    "sphinx.ext.mathjax",
    "extend_parent",
    "sphinx_design",
    "myst_nb",
]

Yeah, I think that is what is happening. It looks like other themes do some custom stuff to overwrite pygments CSS files, e.g. see what pydata does.

Ok, I'm going to check myst_nb and my theme. No guarantees though.

Great, thanks! I tried just adding a custom pygments.css but that also failed. I'm not totally sure of the order in which things happen and what takes precedence.

@rtimms does this look ok to you? I made a PR with some (hopefully) improvements.

Looks good! Thanks for the quick fix.
