How to fix the display issues with Pretty-Printing of symbolic math in Ipython dark background?

I am using Spyder with Ipython console in dark mode. It is really hard to read the pretty-print of symbolic math in the console. This is how it looks like in light mode.

And this is how it looks like in the dark mode.

Is there any fix to this problem?

I know, while asking questions we should use minimal images. But the question is related to the display issue, so I thought it's better to add images.

Solution

  • Please go through this Github issue. The issue was resolved with this pull request

    All we need to do is, go to Preferences-> IPython Console-> Advanced settings-> check use symbolic math.

    If you want to set a custom forecolor for the SymPy, use this command in the IPython console

    ip.kernel.set_sympy_forecolor(background_color='dark')

    And it looks pretty cool now.
