Expected behavior (Desired behavior?)
When I use a dark theme in VS Code, I would like to be able to decide whether matplotlib (and possibly other plotting libraries?) defaults to the 'dark_background' theme or not. Even when I call another theme for plotting, the plot is rendered with the dark background theme.
Looking at the dark background in the editor is fine, but when I call savefig() to save the figure, it still saves with the dark theme, even when specifying a different theme for the plot. It would be nice to not have to piecemeal re-set various parts of the figure to have a white background, and then set the text back to black.
Actual behaviour
Plots are rendered with the dark theme, even when specifying a non-dark pre-packaged style. See screen shot.
