How do I make comments contrast more with the dark background?

I am curious about customizing dark themes in jupyter notebooks. I installed jupyter themes with the jupyter-themes package:

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterthemes

The available themes seem to make the comments too light. i.e. they don't contrast enough. I tried various themes:

jt -t chesterish

Soft blueish Headings and bolds but comments almost not visible

jt -t monokai -m 200

markdown is in bright green (i.e. headings, etc). But comments are some dark brownish hue making them almost invisible.

jt -t onedork # contrast too low

Onedork has even less contrast for all text (except numerical values and commands) [![onedork has low contrast text][1]][1]

I want to make it like a bright grey, like the here in the stackoverflow dark theme?

If you use MS Edge, a work around that impacts all websites, not just jupyter notebooks, is a browser extension called Dark Reader. https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dark-reader/ifoakfbpdcdoeenechcleahebpibofpc

Before installing it... I reset the jt dark themes and restarted jupyter notebooks

jt -r
jupyter notebook &

Contrast in Jupyter Notebooks with Dark Reader extension

  • Not happy that I had to make it a browser extension. I plan on disabling it when not using jupyter notebooks. – CodeSamurai-like Dec 26 '21 at 20:46
  • Unfortunately, it removed the colors, but at least the contrast is high enough. I will probably revert back to without the extension... because the colors made things easier to see. I will just have to live with the whiteish background. – CodeSamurai-like Dec 26 '21 at 20:46
