How to Customize Your Anki Background

Big nope. Your tutorial is even 2 yrs ago. Your anki format is not even the same as the format now. Wasted my hour instead of studying.

Why are my CSS files blank when i open them on the textedit?

Im not gonna lie Anki king is quite complicated with everything he does, I understand your tutorials much more easily. Thank you so much!

The config option didn’t appear when I installed the add on like the coding page it’s not there

dude, anki was so ugly i didnt wanna use it but now that it has my background its so much more comforting

I put your code in and it changed my entire anki, how do I change it back?

If that text color code listed doesn't work completely you, you can just put body{ color: white;} in the same area along with the code provided!

I copied the css but now when I'm doing my anki deck my review-new count is gone. (I mean when I'm studying I could see how many cards I had left but now I can't see that and it botheres me extremely-). Or does it have to do with the background? Can anyone help?;_;

It shows me that pretty sky on the main part but nothing in the tools menu. I'm using 2.1.51 Qt6.

I am still having issues with which version I have letting me use this add on. It does change my background to the stars, but it will not let me see that drop down menu in the tools section. Help me please!

How to do i get rid of the bars at the top and bottom?

I don't have that table of completed cards on my Anki windows home section ! the newest version looks more simple and is harder to set up like before !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I restarted my anki but the color are not changing can anyone help. Thanks

You look great bro Thanks man!

How did you make the text at the top white (decks, add, sync, etc)?

How do you make Anki text white tho?

hi, i can't see the option "review heatmap option". what do i do if i would like to see the review heatmap?

thank you vinamilk

I’m super confused. I don’t have the option to select “set up background/gear (config)?

This video is much less technical, but equally helpful! Did the background of your cards change as well? Mine did I wish it stayed blank for easier visibility. Do you know how to fix that?

how do i turn my text white

hey, is there a way to make the background disappear when in the actual review screen? thanks!

When I create new deck. They Automatically goes under subdeck. I want them to be main Deck

Hey Zach what version are you using? The code didn't work on my version 2.1.20. Anybody had the same problem?

hello! my anki background lags in appearing with every click that i make. anyone facing the same issue and knows how i can fix that?

thank you, this was really helpful, I just have one problem: Everything worked, apart from changing the text color - it stays black for me. I also tried to put the hexa number for white instead of just writing "white" but it still didn't work..... did anyone else have that problem?
Edit: Nevermind I found out that I just had to put Anki in night mode... I'll still leave the comment here, in case someone has the same problem.

Super helpful thanks! Anyone know if theres a way to change the color of the cloze deletion text? its still dark blue while the rest of my text is white on a dark backgroun? makes it hard to see the answers

Ive redownloaded my anki several times properly but custom background gear icon stil doesnt show up, waht do i do? ive uninstalled and download a older stable version but it still does not work.

Hey thx for the video. unfortunately when I go to tools I don't find the custom background ... I tried to delete the add ons and install it again multiple times and my anki version is 2.1.46 What should I do to fix that ?

I can't find config in the new version of anki , I searched in the Anking tab but I still couldn't find it !

I can't find custom background gear icon in my tools ..what should I do .. help me 🥲

For anyone that's looking for the "Custom Custom Background Gear Icon" that should be located under Tools, it's been moved to the right of Tools and should be called "AnKing", under there you will find the "Custom Custom Background Gear Icon".

this guy is jacked

What can I do if the Custom Custom Background Gear Icon doesn't appear for me in Tools? It's downloaded, I've restarted Anki and I'm using the lastest version!

how do you get that stats section on the home page? i have to click on stats to go to a seperate page to see those little boxes that show progress.

I just checked your video today, lol I know it's late, but why my background setting looks totally different than yours? I don't see such "programming codes" in my settings. Is it because I'm using windows instead of mac? Or has AnKing simplified the setting view?

My text is still black when I have enabled nightmode and a background so I can't see what has been written. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance!!

Code 1210908941

is it as easy if you don’t have a mac? like a pc?

this video so helpfully,thanks

This was a lot of help! Thanks so much! The best tutorial I've gotten on customization so far :)

How can I turn the top options such as deck and panel to white?

How many reps of the bicep deck do i have to do to get built like you?

You r really taking Anki on another level !

I did everything in the video, but I do not understand why the top stays black. When I put a dark image, all the writing where it says Deck, Add, Stats, Sync stays black...
How can I make it all white? 😕
I have Anki version 2.1.35 and not any of the night add-ons I have installed seems to work 🤔

why does my anki look different than yours man
i have anki for ipad and for android, and both dont look remotely like yours.
especially ankidroid is crap
