Good

Anki version: 2.1.51 qt5
Everything works smoothly until there are no cards to review and a text saying "Congratulations! You have finished this deck for now. If you wish to study outside of the regular schedule, you can use the custom study feature." appears in the overview. Only then the custom background ceases to show up and Anki's default gray background (I'm using the night mode) shows up instead. Is there a chance to fix this issue in a future update? I'm kind of frustrated and I think of going back to the other version I used to have (2.1.35) where I didn't come up with any issues.

Love this add-on, but just updated to 2.1.55Qt6 and it causes lots of lagging when scrolling in the reviewer screen that only disappears when I disable it.

:D

Me encantó los fondos que están en la carpeta :). Es algo muy útil para cambiar el fondo predeterminado porque me cansaba ver el mismo fondo.

:)

I love this addon, but is there any way to make the gray rectangle behind the decks (introduced in 2.1.55) transparent so we can actually see our custom backgrounds? :(
EDIT: this addon looks like it solves this problem for now: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/153779542

For those concerned about the Times New Roman font on 2.1.55+ you can fix this yourself by browsing to the addon folder, opening it in a codebase editor e.g. VSCode and performing a find and replace:
find: "body {"
replace:
"body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;"
find: "body {"
replace:
"body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;"
Comment from author
This should be fixed now!

Great add-on but it changes the font to times new roman on 2.1.55

Great add on

great

👍

Makes opening Anki and the dashboard less mundane

good

I like that you can change the background to feel more at home instead of the boring grey/white.
One thing I found a bit irritating was that you need to move the picture to the specific Anki Addon folder where the default backgrounds are stored if you want to use another picture.

Looks good, thx!

Not working on version 2.1.54 on windows 11 with Qt6 and Qt5. The image is cropped and it's low quality.

Works well Anki 2.1.54 (b6a7760c) & MacOS 12.6

I really like the background, but I have a question. How do you get the stats on the decks page, like you showed in your examples?

Inferior to Dance Baloney in every way. Less stable, less options, more clunky. Shames Baloney is no longer supported, because even with no alternatives, I refuse to use this pos.
Comment from author
Please email me at ankingmed@gmail.com with what you don't like about this. I'm happy to look into updating things. I'm sorry that it wasn't working for you. Please recognize that I coded this add-on by myself as I was learning python. I have since been paying much smarter people to help update it. All of that time and effort was for free and that money came out of my pocket. It's quite frustrating to myself and other add-on developers to have their work called a "pos" when it comes at no cost to others, especially when the loudest voices refuse to use proper channels to communicate their frustrations that we are happy to address, despite those loud voices being the worst critics. I want you to be happy and enjoy Anki :)

Great add-on

The colors of the deck text cant change. The CSS files are empty.
Comment from author
If you go in the files to the "sources" folder you can edit the main ones. The empty css files are for you to put your own css in

Estilazo

Nice

Very cool! I love it!
One question, does the random option changes photos automatically every while?
One question, does the random option changes photos automatically every while?

I really like this addon, makes it fun while studying. However, it created a new button on my menu bar called "anking" and has the addon listed under that instead of the tools button. I'm on version 2.1.53. Is there something I need to do to change this?
Comment from author
That was intentional. We are listing all our add-ons under the AnKing menu to make it easier to find which ones are ours and reach out to us if there are problems. Is that the only reason you down voted this? Feel free to email me with concerns

Thanks you very much from Peru!!! :)

Works good and makes Anki look mighty fresh

It kills performance. I am on the latest official build. Still, it makes Anki unresponsive and slow on Win11 64bit. Uninstalling this add-on solved most of my performance issues.
Yes, it is nice, I love its functionality, but good enough performance is a lot more important. It made Anki unusable for me. :(

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm not quite sure what to do to speed this up. Did you try using lower resolution images?

It is bloated with social media links. It even adds them to your Deck screen in the Settings bar.

We use the income from these projects to build and sustain these add-ons so that we can provide them to you for free

makes anki more beautiful

good

love it but every update re adds the stock images to the folder even if you remove them, so i disabled updates

the flashing issue is too distracting and choosing a smaller background photo as recommended by the developer as a solution didn't work , without mentioning that unchanged Icons
Comment from author
Unfortunately this is not something that I can change. I would recommend making the opacity a bit lower and changing to night mode as this makes it a tad better.

quailty

Make a beautiful view

Worked perfectly. Had issues with font but switched to night mode.

i loved the feautures

Thank you

Nice!

This add-on is better than I expected. Thank you :D

works well

Great for every person who wants have backgrounds and have extra options

makes it so much more fun

it makes me fell great!just a small tip for user: don't use another language in png name,that will make the add don't work.

nice

It really upgrades your experience on Anki.

Works as expected, the only problem right now is glitching picture.
The picture glitches and reloads once in a while. This does not cause me any inconvenience or trouble. But I wish that it goes away.

I think this is just Anki reloading the background. Using smaller file sizes will help with this

Hey there, thank you for your addon but is there also an option to adjust the text's font-color of the browser which opens if you click on a deck. I am talking about the menu which opens when you click on a deck (the one which has the "study now" button). I tried all .css data and adjusted everything but this browser remains unchanged.
Without the addon, if Anki wanted show that it wants to sync, the "sync" button changed color. Since I have dark background pictures I had to change the toolbar's text color to white (via the .css data). Unfortunately, now the text is always white and I am therefor dont get the information again. Is there a way (e.g. a command line) to still have it change the color if it wants to sync?

Love this. Pretty good add-on.

Great add-on!

it's alright but still not perfect cause the graphic of the pictures are not too good and there are some boring backgrounds
Comment from author
I saw your comment on github and we found the program. You are on Anki 2.1.9. This add-on can be only be downloaded for 2.1.22+.

Love it! Finally a prettier Anki <3

good one

I can change the background and buttons easily, but when I open the CSS in windows notepad no code shows up for me to edit.
Then again I'm not the most technically savvy when it comes to code, so maybe I'm doing something wrong? When I watch the tutorials on YouTube and people open the CSS with text editor on their apple/mac computer the code is already there for them to edit, so I figured I would see something similar on windows but there's no code showing at all.

Shoot me an email and I'll help solve your problem so you can turn this to a like :) ankingmed@gmail.com (Unfortunately I updated the add-on after I made the video, but it's a simple fix)

GOOD JOB

Nice addon..no more dreary gray canvas

work as advertised

makes me happy to see sth else than white and black all the time

Hi! I seem to have a problem with mine, where there image is centered but it doesn't fill up the whole Anki screen, leaving white bars around it. This stays even if I try out different photos or make Anki full screen/not full screen. Any advice?

Some months I feel like Firewatch background. Some I feel wizardry and put Hogwarts on the wall.

so cool!

Amazing! My go to when I have to study!!

.

So dope.

only background change works everything else is not working for me
Comment from author
I'd be happy to help you with this if you want to report it to me (via email or Github). If you just want to leave a dislike on that add-on, use this. If you want the add-on to get fixed so you can use it properly, doing this sends me no notifications and I have no way of messaging you back to troubleshoot. I'm very available and happy to fix problems as they come up

It does not work in the newest version of Anki. It gets installed successfully but it does not appear in the toolbar section to change the background.
Comment from author
It definitely does work on the newest version of Anki. The toolbar settings are under the AnKing menu now. If you have another problem, feel free to email me at ankingmed@gmail.com and I'll get it working.

I like how easy it is to control everything within this add-on :D
But I have a question, the demo pictures you show here have very nice text colors and everything is clear, could you please attach the css code somewhere so we can achieve the nice look you have in the pictures? I would appreciate it.

I didn't actually modify anything in those pictures, that's just what it looks like on my high res monitor.

Easy interface

Works as intended. If I may ask, what is the add-on you are using to display that grid calendar?
Comment from author
Review heatmap :)

Thank you this addon is amazing

My Anki looks so much better. Thanks!

Great, thanks a lot!

dont want to dislike it because i love the extension but i got a new pc downloaded anki etc and its not working anymore :( i can change the gear icon but when i choose an image to be the background nothing happens it just stays black
Comment from author
hmm.. this is weird. Can you submit a github issue with as many details as possible so I can look into it?

I don't really know why it doesn't work on my anki app. I can set my background but css style can't.

Didn't wanted to dislike but Im getting the following message:
"One or more errors occurred:
1210908941: Invalid code, or add-on not available for your version of Anki"
Anyway I can fix this?

thank u it works perfectly

Doesn't work with newest Anki update?
Comment from author
This should definitely work with the newest Anki update. Rather than putting a downvote on here, can you please email me details or post an issue on Github? I'm happy to look into it.

Great addon. Though I hope there will be a feature that could blur the background at the top and bottom to make the cropped part a little more appealing.
Comment from author
I wish there was a way to do that as well. It's impossible to line them all up because the top, the main part and the bottom essentially function as 3 separate webpages and since everyone resizes anki to different sizes, this was the best solution I could come up with.

It works perfectly now. Awesome add-on! Keep it up

Awesome addon!

If you are using Anki 2.1.40 and the add-on stopped working, there is a simple way to fix it:
On Anki, go to:
Tools --> Add-ons. Select the add-on and press "View Files"
Now open the file "meta.json" with a text editor and change "max_point_version": -38 to "max_point_version": -40.
Save the file and restart Anki, the add-on will work now.
-----
PS: To open the file "meta.json" on Windows use, for example, the app NotePad. On macOS you don't need additional software.

Thank you for not disliking. This should be fixed now. In the future, email is the fastest way to notify me because I don’t actually get notifications when reviews are posted

Thanks for update! love this

Don't work in linux version
Comment from author
Can you please give me a bit more information as to what isn't working? Happy to look into it. A negative review on here (especially without any details) doesn't do anything to help me get it working. You can submit an issue on GitHub or email me at ankingmed@gmail.com and I'll try and look into it so you can turn this into a like :)

Works as expected! 😋
It works just as in the description. One small annoyance I had with it was the additional useless menu category of options it added. I just commented the lines from the code and now my Menu bar is clutter-free.

Taking the time to do this.

Awesome

Hi I’m on version 2.1.46 and the background gear option is not showing up in the tools. Can you help me fix that?

觉得换了背景后字看不清的朋友!可以先下载“nightmode”,在偏好设置中打开夜间模式,背景一下子就协调了!

I love it so much <3. Thanks you x3000 aahhhhh

Great addon.

👍

Like it!

It makes the quality of life when AnKing way better!
Edit 2021-06-02: Absolutely loved the recent changes where you can change the opacity of the main and review images separately.
The first day I graduate and get a job, I'll be supporting your work as a way to express my gratitude!

Unfortunately it will always show in the reviewer because the top bar is always the top bar by Anki's settings and doesn't change for the review screen. I'd recommend using the No Distractions add-on if its annoying. Thanks for the feedback though!

Amazing!

This works great!
Suggestion: Idk if this is possible, or if it'd make peoples Anki lag a bit, but it would be cool if there was a feature within this to download images from an RSS feed. That way, you could download the daily NASA wallpaper or something like that.

I wish I could make jpegs transparent as well

Great addon.
Can you please give a guide on editing the CSS files (mine are empty).
To be precise, I want to change the colour of the horizontal lines that separate decks on the deck browser from Black to White (or maybe grey).

Feels great not staring at a grey screen when you use the app about an hour every day :)

For some reason when I downloaded the add-on the color of all fonts stayed black so I can't read anything and couldn't figure out how to make it white

Shoot me an email at ankingmed@gmail.com and we can get this resolved so you can turn this into a like :) Try switching to nightmode or off of nightmode and that should fix your issue

Amazing it supports gifs thank you so much!

A great add-on!

A very nice add on, but could we not have the AnKing menu at the top?
Comment from author
If it bothers you so much that you're going to post a dislike, I can explain to you how to remove it. Email me at ankingmed@gmail.com

Works great! I only use it for my main screen however, as it can glitch a bit in reviews (half the screen goes black and covers up the card)

Game changer

Worked perfect without any problems! Thank you!

Great addon. Only change I would like to see implemented is the ability to have a different background in normal and night mode.
Comment from author
That's a great idea. I'll consider that for future versions!

beautiful

great ad-on

Thanks once again!

Thank you very much!

Love it!

i like it

Its different for windows, but very good

So easy thanks to this addon, thanks you so much!!

Excellent update!

Love it!

Great update Anking and the mates, the changing of wallpaper and customizing became so easy

Should be implemented in Anki

Very nice, however, is there a way for me to cycle through my own custom background images, or do I only get to stick to 1 image if I use my own one
Edit: nevermind i found out it changes every time you open the app not when the app is open

Hi looks/works great, but when I use in night mode when I go to study a deck the portion where the question is shown is grey & the question is written out in white making it hard to see, do you know how to fix this?

Good Add on

Thanks!

Easy to use, love it!

Great!

Very nice!

Thank you so much this is useful

Thanks, of a lot helps

good

does exactly what it says it does. although when I collapse or expand a deck, the background goes away briefly and returns

01/01/2020 Firstly, the dislike was chosen only due to lack of better option. I am trying to use a image of my own. However, it is not working. The format is PNG by the way. Is there any requirement in regards to the image features?
02/01/2020I fixed it. The transparency needs to be on point for Anki to be able to use the image as a background. I changed the dislike for a like. Thanks a lot. Your support was very prompt. Great Job, AnKing.

It flashes white whenever I click onto a deck. I'm not sure how to fix this as I'm new to Anki. When I switched to night mode it flashes black. Really unfortunate since this looks amazing.
Edit: Made the image file size smaller but there is still a white flash which is an eye-strain. It's slightly better than what it was before though. I'll just try to deal with it

Comment from author before post was edited
This is due to Anki reloading the page and is an issue with Anki, not the add-on. If you try to use a smaller file size image as the background, it should decrease that. Feel free to email me at ankingmed@gmail.com and I'd be happy to troubleshoot it with you and then you can turn this dislike into a like :)

رائع شكرا جزيلا

nice

I don't know why but the pictures are blurred and for some reason a white screen appears when i click on something... It's really frustrating because it's a great add on but it doesn't work for me :(
Comment from author before post was edited
I'd be happy to troubleshoot this for you if you wanna switch the dislike to a like :) The white screen issue has been determined to be due to having really large file size images (which the default are). Unfortunately using a lower file size image usually means decreased quality. Feel free to shoot me an email at ankingmed@gmail.com and mention this discussion

How amazing!

Very aesthetically pleasing

خیلی خوبه

Nice looking!

A great add-on, but I'm also having a white-flash whenever I click on a deck. Did anybody ever find a fix to this issue?
Comment from author
You need to use smaller file size images for the background and that will resolve it.

Add-on looks good, and changing the background works.
But for some reason, I can't change the gear icon (it's still the same default gear icon even after restarting Anki).
Running Anki version 2.1.35

good thx a lot

Thank you!

Cool !

this makes anki look 1000x better, it doesn't look like 1990s anymore if you pick a good image!

It looks really good but it flashes white every time I change screen or open a folder of decks
Comment from author
Mine doesn't do that, but I'd be happy to look into it for you and see if there is a bug! My first thought is that maybe it works better with nightmode. Can you email me at ankingmed@gmail.com? Then you can change this to a like :)

I love it. I feel excited with them.

Amazing add on to make the anki experience more enjoyable and pleasant! ;)

Nice

Great

awesome feature

I did report an issue that may be caused by my carelessness, and the Add-on creator solved it patiently and efficiently. Thanks to the author~

After nightmode addon was deprecated I was at a loss but thanks to this addon I can choose any background I want back again. Thank you for your work.

Amazing and simple to use!

Works great

very nice!

Beautiful

cool idea

Cool addition

Excellent!

Makes the interface more apealing

super!!!!

Very pretty. Thanks!
Also, for those wondering, put Anki on night-view.

Check out the video linked above. It'll explain how to use the custom css files to change things like that!

Works great

¡¡¡BUENA!!!

Fab!

Very handy addon!I wonder if there anyway to make toolbar and background a whole image?

Cool add on. Definitely an improvement beyond the sort of bland and ugly white screen.

really cool and can add own backrounds!! i suggest doing that (sorry but the preset backrounds are really ugly lmao)

tnx

Amazing and very cool

thank you! beautiful

good!

This my motivation to study more big. Thank you for all your work.

nice feature

It is a good complement but I do not know how to change the image it only opens the files but I do not know how to make it change the image, what do I do?

Makes it less boring

wonderful

Super amazing, makes anki little less boring! :D

The background image changes size slightly every time a card displays an image, is there any way to prevent this? Otherwise absolutely incredible addon
Comment from author
Hmm.. I'd have to evaluate your settings and see pics of what's going on. Feel free to submit on github or email me at ankingmed@gmail.com and I'll look into it

Excellent add on man,but I can't get the image for full screen in my windows.
Do you have any idea why..

Nope, I just altered the settings in the heatmap options :)

great add-on, however, I found the addition of the background image to the review cards annoying as I already had a bunch of customized card styles that worked well on desktop + mobile.
If anyone wants to disable the background during reviews, set "Reviewer image": false. Thanks for the add-on!

awesome, but is there a way for me to upload my own custom background?

It's great!

Thanks for this Add-On!

Works great but I do have a question
If I don't want the background to show on the review cards, I set it to false. However, it still shows the top and bottom bars as the background image. Is there any way to fix this?

That little extra that keeps me going! Thank you so much

Fantastic add on, took a little playing with to figure out what each setting really did. Lastly I liked how before this most recent update the toolbar image was only the top in the reviewer. Im sure a lot of people probably wanted both, but could there maybe be a setting to turn top or bottom toolbar on seperately for both main overview screens and then reviewer, so basically toolbars would be 4 settings rather than just 1.

Love this add-on!! The ability to now have the image displayed in the reviewer as well as in both toolbars makes it even better!

good

wow! I wonder what's the name of your add on for the design on the desk overview page!?

Very sweet to have a nice background image!

Great stuff!

Awesome

Amazing add-on. Only problem is I can't get the image to follow onto review cards as well, even after your 3/21/20 update. Any tips? Tried messing with my card templates but this hasn't worked either.

The version with images in the reviewer is currently a beta on my patreon. Once I get time to finish cleaning it up and testing it I'll release it on here :)

Love it and thank you! Any idea why the image isn't taking up the whole screen though? I'd say about 80% is covered by the pic and then the rest is just the normal anki background.
EDIT: Went to your youtube video (awesome video btw) and figured it out. Thank you kindly!

I can't change the gear icon. The rest is working perfectly.

It seems there's been some conflicts with the enhance main window add-on. If that's not your case, you can submit it on github or email me and I can look into it if you want?

Great!!

Awesome!

The add-on refused to download, and I checked that I had Anki 2.1.
Comment from author
You have to have Anki 2.1.22 or later, unfortunately. Update to the lastest version of Anki on Ankiweb and then you can change this to a like cause you'll love it :) (in the future, I and all other add-on authors would appreciate if you comment on github or send an email instead of a dislike for issues like this)

beautiful!!! (i am curious though how to include the background during review also.)

!!!!

Great work

yooooooo

This is what I was wanting for years! Awesome work!

sorry for the dislike, man:(
thanks for all your effort

Very good addon, also take a look at this https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/378638814 that supports gif
Comment from author
This one should support gif as well! That add-on tackles the issue in a different way, but they should both work

Beautiful. Thank you very much, AnKing. I have been wanting to do this for a long time.

Great add-on

great!

Makes Anki more beautiful :)

I highly recommend this addon for anyone who is looking to customize their anki to make it more suitable to their own needs.

Fantastic addon

Aesthetics

How do I change the size of the image to fit with my laptop screen?

*EDIT* Just found out it isn't compatible with enhance main window. Please make it compatible and thanks!
Great addon for the background! Sadly, changing the gears isn't working on my end. Even with the first install of the addon, the config is set to Anki.png but the gear icon still remains

I think the gears isn't compatible with enhance main window. I'll look into it though!

Amazing!

I LIKE LOOKING FLY WHEN I ANKI OR DIE.

Maybe add an option to show one image in light mode, and another image in dark mode.

The best... Thanks as always

Thanks Anking!

hell yeahhhhh!

So cool!

What a wonderful addon!
I would suggest, to make things even better, a slide option so we could put 5-10 images.
