Problems setting SETTINGS in python file/notebook, particular seaborn style

Description: Changing some settings from within the python script seem to have no effect, the specific case which is bothersome for me is

SETTINGS.plot_seaborn_style

Setting this to be either one of darkgrid, whitegrid, white, or dark produces no discernible difference in metrics.py_API_Documentation.ipynb.

Note, an example of the change is the following modification to cell number 2

from evo.tools import log
log.configure_logging(verbose=True, debug=True, silent=False)

import pprint
import numpy as np

from evo.tools import plot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
# %matplotlib notebook

# temporarily override some package settings
from evo.tools.settings import SETTINGS
SETTINGS.plot_usetex = False
SETTINGS.plot_seaborn_style = 'dark'

and the same effect is seen in a python script which I'm writing to plot some figures automatically.

Please give also the following information:

evo version number shown by evo pkg --version: v1.25.1
Python version shown by evo pkg --pyversion: 3.8.10
operating system and version (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 or Windows 10): popos 20.04 (ubuntu 20.04 basically)
did you change the source code? (yes / no): no
