Matplotlib Widget Background Color in VSCode

If I use a dark theme in vscode & in matplotlib, the figure can be configured to have dark background, but the background of the widget / cell is still white.

%matplotlib widget

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.style.use('dark_background')

figure, axis = plt.subplots()

axis.plot(np.arange(100))

This also happens if I use the option of the jupyter extension to use the vscode theme in the notebook (actually, then it's even worse because the axis labels are not visible).

Note, that I need to use "%matplotlib widget" as a renderer, and cannot use "%matplotlib inline". For inline, I found a configuration that works.

In the browser, it works if I select the jupyter dark theme, so I guess, I would kind of select a different "theme" in the jupyter renderer extension, if something like this is possible (?)

Is there a way to configure the jupyter extension / vscode / ... to have a real "dark mode for matplotlib"?
