Custom Background Image and Gear Icon

Description

KNOWN FLASHING ISSUE: I've had many reports of the screen flashing white or black (depending on if you're on nightmode or not). This is due to Anki reloading the images when you click "deck" and is not something I can fix. The best solution is to use a smaller file size image for the background so that it loads faster and the flash is less noticeable. KNOWN FONT COLOR ISSUE: Many people have struggled with white or black font. The best trick to fix this is to switch anki to night mode or normal mode. This add-on pairs very well with our new ReColor add-on! HUGE thank you to u/ijgnord for helping me learn bits of python and helping make this add-on. Also thanks to u/dollajas for the original idea. (NOTE: This can only be used on Anki 2.1.22+ which was released a day prior to this add-on) If you like this add-on, please give it a like :) There is a link in the AnKing menu for the folders to put your own images or css in. I recommend making them 20-50% transparent (you will need to use photoshop or another photo editing software). To configure the background, go to the config If you want to edit the main anki css (change colors, etc), you can change the files in the "sources" folder, but they will overwrite when updating the add-on. Any css added to the files in the user_files folder will remain after updating. If you choose to style the toolbars, the top toolbar will remained styled during review. If you'd prefer to hide this, I would recommend checking out this No Distractions add-on. This Dancing Baloney add-on can also be used to customize the background, although in a different way. Background images were obtained from Pexels.com Gear icons were obtained from Wikimedia Commons Problems, Bugs, Errors, Improvements If you find a serious bug, please submit it on Github or email us at ankingmed@gmail.com. Please remember that we are not great coders and thus may not be able to provide support. Changelog 2020-3-19: Initial Release 2020-03-20: Added an option in the menu bar to link the config 2020-04-17: Added config options to keep the image in reviewer, make the toolbars look better with the bottom toolbar showing the bottom of the image and top toolbar showing the top of the image, and an option to change the background color. 2020-12-27: Quick fix for 2.1.36+. All features have not been tested. If you want to try the next version's beta, please visit our Patreon 2021-01-02: Imported update from our Patreon beta testing. Added a new "AnKing" menu at the top bar that has the config. Config will update the background in real time.

Very cool! I love it!
One question, does the random option changes photos automatically every while?
on 1654559002
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
on 1653672679
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. :(
Comment from author before post was edited
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?
on 1651008483
It is bloated with social media links. It even adds them to your Deck screen in the Settings bar.

love it but every update re adds the stock images to the folder even if you remove them, so i disabled updates
on 1647909154
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.

It really upgrades your experience on Anki.
on 1641822076
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.
Comment from author
I think this is just Anki reloading the background. Using smaller file sizes will help with this
on 1639949970
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?
on 1639624672
Love this. Pretty good add-on.
on 1637984355
Great add-on!
on 1637688102
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+.
on 1637064179
Love it! Finally a prettier Anki <3
on 1636730785
good one
on 1634063738
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.
Comment from author
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)

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?

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
on 1628979496
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.
on 1628683386
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.
Comment from author
I didn't actually modify anything in those pictures, that's just what it looks like on my high res monitor.

hmm.. this is weird. Can you submit a github issue with as many details as possible so I can look into it?
on 1627800199
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?

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.
on 1627387732
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.
on 1627227771
It works perfectly now. Awesome add-on! Keep it up
on 1627222339
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.

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 :)
on 1625742521
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.

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!
Comment from author before post was edited
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!
on 1622572204
Amazing!
on 1622480872
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
on 1622139611
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).
on 1622120872
Feels great not staring at a grey screen when you use the app about an hour every day :)
on 1621709249
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

does exactly what it says it does. although when I collapse or expand a deck, the background goes away briefly and returns
on 1609608846
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.
Comment from author before post was edited
You should be able to use a PNG or JPEG or GIF. Are you configuring it properly? Have you seen this video that goes over it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XAq0KpU3Jc&feature=youtu.be

The best method, in your case, would be to submit an issue on github or email me at ankingmed@gmail.com and I can try to help you.

I'm more than happy to assist and would appreciate if you change this to a like.

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 :)

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

Comment from author
You need to use smaller file size images for the background and that will resolve it.
on 1604536876
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).

Also, for those wondering, put Anki on night-view.

WORKS WELL, but how can I change the color of the title of the decks (like A-missed Qs)?
Comment from author
Check out the video linked above. It'll explain how to use the custom css files to change things like that!

Works great

Fab!

Very handy addon!I wonder if there anyway to make toolbar and background a whole image?
on 1593363720
Cool add on. Definitely an improvement beyond the sort of bland and ugly white screen.
on 1592962871
really cool and can add own backrounds!! i suggest doing that (sorry but the preset backrounds are really ugly lmao)

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

Edit: How do I change the background?
I know, I'm newbie in information.
on 1590950727
Exactly what I needed! Thanks
on 1590856733
Makes studying a bit better :)
on 1590596014
nice feature
on 1590092815
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?
on 1589569648
Makes it less boring
on 1589528034
wonderful
on 1589457919
Super amazing, makes anki little less boring! :D
on 1589158784
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
on 1589103805
Excellent add on man,but I can't get the image for full screen in my windows.
Do you have any idea why..
Comment from author
Check the config for background-size. You can set it to "cover" instead of "contain"
on 1588663349
Thanks!
on 1588451258
good addon
on 1588190564
EXCELLENT. How did you get your heatmap to look like that? Did you customize the code?
Comment from author
Nope, I just altered the settings in the heatmap options :)
on 1587991791
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!
on 1587908591
awesome, but is there a way for me to upload my own custom background?
on 1587722550
It's great!
on 1587683196
Thanks for this Add-On!
on 1587669895
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?
on 1587328014
That little extra that keeps me going! Thank you so much
on 1587281962
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.
on 1587227408
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!
on 1586215034
good
on 1586150150
wow! I wonder what's the name of your add on for the design on the desk overview page!?
on 1585751060
Very sweet to have a nice background image!
on 1585749179
Great stuff!
on 1585681214
Awesome
on 1585670104
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.
Comment from author
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 :)
on 1585599967
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!
on 1585569675
I can't change the gear icon. The rest is working perfectly.
Comment from author
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?
on 1585363464
Great!!
on 1585330055
Awesome!
on 1585306777
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)
on 1585280975
beautiful!!! (i am curious though how to include the background during review also.)

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
on 1584900291
Beautiful. Thank you very much, AnKing. I have been wanting to do this for a long time.
on 1584835311
Great add-on
on 1584781423

Makes Anki more beautiful :)
on 1584765629
I highly recommend this addon for anyone who is looking to customize their anki to make it more suitable to their own needs.

How do I change the size of the image to fit with my laptop screen?
on 1584740412
*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
Comment from author
I think the gears isn't compatible with enhance main window. I'll look into it though!
on 1584734456
Amazing!
on 1584732301
This is solid!

Great add-on!

Maybe add an option to show one image in light mode, and another image in dark mode.
on 1584668154
The best... Thanks as always
on 1584666717
Thanks Anking!
on 1584666198
hell yeahhhhh!
on 1584665671
So cool!
on 1584664019
What a wonderful addon!

I would suggest, to make things even better, a slide option so we could put 5-10 images.
on 1584662769
Awesome addon. Thanks!

Amazing add on
