Just change style="ticks" to style="darkgrid" and add the following line:
plt.rcParams.update({"grid.linewidth":0.5, "grid.alpha":0.5}) # To enhance the grid's aesthetics

is there a way to define the background color that is not black with plt.style.use("dark_background")
to find a different shade like vscode or similar color
Also is there a way to implement this globally? for the whole notebook? (meaning the custom background color)
