HERE IS HOW TO INSTALL FOR LATEST 2.1.49 VERSION
Thanks to fylux's patch, Beautify Anki IS compatible with current latest version (July 6th 2022 on 2.1.49).
How to install it :
1) Open Anki and press Ctrl+Shift+A or simply open add-on preferences from Tools menu.
2) After the add-on preferences window is open click on the 'View Files' button. A folder will open. Then exit Anki.
OR simply
Go to < C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\ > or the directory where Anki keeps your add-ons
3) Download the latest version of Beautify Anki from the GitHub Page ( https://github.com/ShoroukAziz/Beautify-Anki/releases ). It currently is "V.0.3.3.zip" of 16 Jan 2022 (compatible with 2.1.49)
4) Open the .zip file, and rename the "V.0.3.3" folder to something else (like: Beautify_Anki) (it's important or it won't work because of the dots in the folder name).
5) Copy the folder you just renamed and paste it into the addons folder you just opened in step2.
6) Again open the Anki Add-ons menu by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A or look in the Tools menu.
7) Beautify_Anki (or whatever name you used for the folder) should appear in the list. Select this and click on 'Toggle Enable'.
8) Restart Anki. Voila! You just updated Beautify Anki.

Flatpak users unzip the file to $HOME/.var/app/net.ankiweb.Anki/data/Anki2/addons21/

very blatant

I really want to try this add-on out so please, please, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee update it.

Very cool looking.
But had to play around a bit to get it working on Linux.
To anyone wanting to know how, i download the zip from the github distro and unpacked it in the ~.local/share/Anki2/addons21/ directory
I also needed to rename the resulting folder to Beautify, probably bc there was some problem with spaces in the filename.
As a message to the creators, It would be nice if we had the style in the add and browse windows.

Just makes our lives easier!

Please upgrade to version 2.1.44, I want to use it and there is no way, there is no point in a beautiful designer and it can't be used.

please update for 2.1.44. this is a really beautiful layout, tired of the same generic anki one lol

If you want to make the GUI of Anki more good looking, yet are a lazy piece of shit (like i am), find an alternative for this add-on: to customize the look you have to wade through a whole slew of configuration files in the root of the add-on folder.

Awesome!

Works perfectly on the latest Anki, just download the latest version from Github and install manually!

Does not work on the latest version of Mac

The version up here and on GitHub does not work with the latest version (2.1.38). The addon looks awesome though. I will definitely be waiting for an update

Please can you update it and make it work with the latest version 2.1.35, please?

Really love this!
Unfortunately, I don't know how to update it from the GitHub page because your last update here is from May 2020 whereas the lastest one is from October 2020 on GitHub. I tried renaming the .zip file from GitHub to .ankiaddon but that didn't help. It would be great if you could guide us. (Edit: I figured it out. See steps below.)
IMPORTANT Edit for new users:
=========================
TL;DR: To update to the latest version which is not available here on Ankiweb but available on GitHub, just extract the .zip package from the GitHub page ( https://github.com/ShoroukAziz/Beautify-Anki/releases ) to <C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\> and enable it from the Anki's add-ons menu and restart Anki. Also, make sure you are using the Anki version that was released prior to the Beautify Anki version you're trying to use. As of 10th Feb '21, the latest compatible versions are Anki 2.1.35 (Oct. '20 release) which supports Beautify Anki v0.3.2-beta.3 (Oct. '20 release). You might also want to change some stuff in the add-on because the author has changed the looks a little.
Detailed Steps:
--------------------
So I figured out how to manually install add-ons on windows:
[But before we get started, make sure that you are using the Anki version that was released prior to the Beautify Anki version you're trying to use. As of 10th Feb '21 the latest compatible versions are Anki 2.1.35 (Oct. '20 release) which supports Beautify Anki v0.3.2-beta.3 (Oct. '20 release).]

OR simply

3) Download the latest version of Beautify Anki from the GitHub Page ( https://github.com/ShoroukAziz/Beautify-Anki/releases )
4) Open the .zip file and copy all its contents (should contain more than one files and folders. I say this because the author had placed the files inside a folder called 'New Folder' in her v0.3.0-beta.3 release.) to a folder of your preferred name (I suggest Beautify_Anki) and copy this folder to the one you opened in Step 2.
5) Again open the Anki Add-ons menu by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A or look in the Tools menu.
6) Beautify_Anki (or whatever name you used for the folder) should appear in the list. Select this and click on 'Toggle Enable'.
7) Restart Anki. Voila! You just updated Beautify Anki.

Please please please ........ update this addon with the latest version.

It didn't work for me sadly. No conflicting Add-ons, Anki 2.1.35. Error message saying the download code doesn't exist, or isn't' compatible with my version of Anki. (Windows)

This add-on does not seem to be compatible with the Crostini Linux version of Anki on my Chromebook.

So beautiful. Thanks for making this. I hope it could be possible to make it work with newer versions as well.

great

Excellent and modern view.

Very good but it weighs a lot. had to find a way to make anki not crash so much.

Gorgeous. Simply *marvelous*! Gorgeous darling!

Unfortunately it is not working

I am not able to downlad this addon.

I can't wait for the latest update

The design is fantastic and is a huge upgrade from the original Anki UI. I'm much more excited to do my reviews now :) Many thanks to the author for putting in the time and effort to make such a great add-on!
Comment from author
Thanks a lot for reviewing the addon! I really appreciate it.

Nice,but it is not installing in the latest version of Anki!!! :(
Comment from author
The latest update is available on Github if you'd like to try it. It will be published after doing some testing

Just installed it on version 2.1.24 and it works like a charm ! I have lived a huge amount of years with the standard interface and reviewing was still a pleasure because I put a lot of effort in the design of my cards, but interface indeed matters : this add-on makes Anki beautiful and more pleasurable to work on than ever. Thanks!
Comment from author
Thank you very much for sharing your review. I really appreciate it!

Really nice!

Not working with 2.1.30 version, please update.
Comment from author
an update is coming soon!

Not working with my version of ANKI (2.1.28)

It's cool! Thanks a lot!

Great design, but cannot drag and drop decks anymore (to create subdecks).
Comment from author
you can be renaming the sub-deck like this suberdeck::subdeck. Anyway the next update will have dragging and dropping

A really good add-on if you are looking to revamp your anki main page display. It does not work well with the 'Enhance main window' add-on as it causes to details to be jumbled up

I really loved it! As someone who's unfamiliar with codes and stuff, this is really convenient! Thank you so much for all your efforts.
Just like what I said I'm not into codes and stuff like CSS, HTML and such and I wonder if there's a way for me to at least adjust the size of the screen and make it fit to my own screen since it's way too zoomed in and I have to scroll up/down and left/right and I have no idea why. Thank you!

Comment from author
Could you please post an issue on GitHub with screenshots and your screen size so I could help more

Anki's interface is finally beautiful! Thank you SO much!

Omg i love u. It's amazing

my deck window with the pie chart isn't working. installed and reinstalled multiple times

Tested on V2.1.22 Genuinely, Genuinely phenomenal add-on. There's some tiny kinks to fix but it's already such a wonderful change that those are really easily ignored. You spent a ton of time on this and it shows! Each of the themes looks great, the customization elements are really well done, I never thought I'd want stats as easily accessible on deck pages but you made it really worthwhile and clear.
Thanks a million!
Thanks a million!

Great!

First time to rate an add-on, this is priceless

cool

Normal processing of Anki 0.3%.
Processing with this App 87%.
In this way beauty is worthless.

Its very nice but it is incompatible with "Rate Speed Focus Mode (auto-alert, auto-reveal, auto-fail)"[https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1046608507].

Wonderful!!!
PS : is there a way to change the background color of the bottom bar in the home screen ?
EDIT : found it on your website, it explained very well ! Thank you :)

Very good

Amazing add-on. Easy to use.

Very awesome! But can you add config that we can set interface lauguage?
Comment from author
Absolutely !! That's already coming in the next update

Awesome!! How to combine this addon with another that changes de buttom of review bottom bar e.g. Advanced Review Bottom Bar? The buttons of ARBB do not appear (infos, undo, skip, etc).
Comment from author
there's an option in the configuration file
"change answer buttons" set it to false
"change answer buttons" set it to false

Great add-on

amazing! it is like a game!

Brings Anki into the modern era! Thanks!

Very nice, works great, and I really like how I can customize pretty much everything. I also like the statistics on the side. Being able to see the amount of work left makes it a lot easier to keep going.
Comment from author
Very glad you like it!

Please make it compatible with "Enhance main window"
Comment from author
I'm considering it

Awesome add-on love your work!
Comment from author
Thank you!

Major improvement.
Comment from author
Thanks!

Simply awesome, very nice and smooth overlay. Good job. Thank you for this addon.
Comment from author
You're very welcome!

Please make it compatible with Enhanced Window
Comment from author
Hi, please post your request on github.

Although the addon is very beautiful, it is in conflict with other addons and, for example, the card rating bar is not rushed.

Made anki really slow when i tried to use it, so I uninstalled it. Now my anki has a weird gradient background that I can't get rid of...
Comment from author
Sorry, it didn't work for you. but if you uninstalled it there's no way it can change your Anki.

Hi, great add-on. Is there anyway to turn off the background images and keep it simple? like colours or gradient?
Can we manually change the background too? That would be nice.
Also can you make it so the icons and colours can all be changed for every element?
It is one of the best add-ons i've seen. Using it now, great work thanks.

Hi, you can delete the background images if you don't want them and you'll be left with the gradient. and yeah you can change the backgrounds and colors too you'll find instructions in the GitHub wiki (the link is already posted here)
Also, a major update is coming soon which will allow even more customization so stay tuned

Absolutely fantastic add-on, I think it really takes Anki to a next level, design and looks do matter, and this makes it the next anki session much more enjoyable. Great work man!
Comment from author
Thanks a lot!

Great! BUT CAUTION! There is no way to do filtered decks!

amazing

Hi, Please, don't report errors here. I can only track the ones on Github.
Anyway, If you're having this error and your Anki system language is English then you need to disable any addon that changes the look of the answer button.
If you're using any language other than English then wait for the next update

Anki revolutionizer!!!! <3 <3 <3 Finally I feel like I'm not in the 80s anymore lol
Comment from author
Thanks a lot <3 <3 <3

Definitely recommended: this addon is just amazing! Thanks to you, Anki has finally arrived in the 21st century. Altough it's a solo project addon, it truly feels like a whole new program from some large enterprise. The standard settings are already awesome and it's great having the possibility to customize it even more in order to look just like I want it to.
Of course there are still a few little bugs in it, but it's a beta version, so what? It's already more than just usable and I can neither imagine what the final version will look like nor wait for it to be published.

I've never written a review for an addon, but I've visited your GitHub page. You, madam are going to revolutionize the UI of Anki forever! I want to thank you for your hard work! I'm looking forward for the full release.
Again, thank you very much!

Really nice. Please make the the white box disappear around the heat map and the Decks on the main screen, make it like a full background please.
Comment from author before post was edited
It's still in beta. more updates will be coming.

Fantastic add on! There's still room for improvement, but this is already an amazing release.

It loads a few seconds slower than normal Anki but I like it. Thank you.

Beautiful add-on, makes Anki look really sleek and clean

amazing, bring anki to a modern level

Looks great but cannot use it: (only other extension enabled is awesometts)
