Change Theme for Jupyter Notebook from Default to any from the list:
- onedork
- grade3
- oceans16
- chesterish
- gruvboxl
- gruvboxd
- monokai
- solarizedl
- solarizedd.

You need to install jupyterthemes library on you Python. In this video I am using Python 3.5.2. For this example I selected Monokai theme for my Jupyter Notebook.

Please be aware about issue if you get an Import Error (cannot import name ensure_dir_exists). That means that you need to upgrade your pip version to the newest one.
