Problem

It would be nice if I could set the background color of the progress bar. right now its a near-white gray color. Jupyter puts ipywidgets into a white box so I can barely see where the end of the progress is. (see image below)

Proposed Solution

There is already an attribute for bar_color. and some other widgets apparently have a background attribute according to the documentation (https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/8.0.7/examples/Widget%20Styling.html). So maybe IntProgress can accept the background style attribute too to allow for adjustable background colors.

Additional context

Alternatively or in addition, it would be nice for widgets not to pop up in a white box but rather whatever color the vscode skin is set to. but i think that's VScode's problem, though I'm not sure.
