Description

Ankicraft Logo 1

Anki's default interface looks functional. After three hours of reviewing cards, "functional" starts to feel grey, mismatched, and hard on the eyes. Nocturne replaces the entire color system — every border, button, background, and state color — with a palette designed to be coherent and comfortable across all of Anki's views. 🌙

Nocturne gives Anki the visual polish it's missing.

FEATURES

🎨 Fully redesigned color palette — covers every UI surface in both light and dark mode, nothing left at Anki's defaults.
🌑 Dark mode that actually looks dark — deep navy backgrounds (#12161F) instead of washed-out charcoal.
☀️ Light mode with softer whites and cleaner contrast, easier on the eyes during long sessions.
🔤 Modern font stack (Segoe UI Variable / Inter / system-ui) applied to all interface views.
✨ Subtle ambient radial gradient in the background adds depth without distraction.
⚙️ Zero configuration needed — install, restart Anki, done.
🔄 Responds instantly to theme switches — toggling Night Mode in Anki updates all colors on the fly.

HOW TO USE

Install from AnkiWeb (Tools → Add-ons → Get Add-ons).
Restart Anki.
The new color theme is active automatically — no configuration needed.
To toggle dark/dark mode, use Anki's built-in night mode setting as normal.

SETTINGS

No user-facing settings. Nocturne works silently in the background. If you want to inspect or reset the internal state, go to Tools → Add-ons → Nocturne → Config.

COMPATIBILITY

Tested on Anki 24.x (Windows). Should work on macOS and Linux; if you run into any visual issues, please leave a comment on the add-on page and I'll look into it.

CHANGELOG

v1.0.0 — 2026-07-15 — Initial release.
