🎨 Ankineer CSS Studio — make every card beautiful, without writing a single line of CSS
Anki cards are styled with CSS… but nobody wants to learn CSS to change a font or a color.
Ankineer CSS Studio gives you a visual editor: pick a field, tick the options you want, watch the live preview, click Apply. The add-on writes the CSS and the HTML class into your note type for you.

🚀 How to use
- Install with the code above and restart Anki.
- Open Tools › Ankineer CSS Studio (it opens full screen).
- Choose a note type, then a field — or 🃏 Whole card.
- Tick options in the tabs and look at the preview.
- Click Apply to note type, or switch on ⚡ Auto-inject to save every change automatically.
🧰 62 options in 7 tabs — each with a list of ready choices
- Text — font, size, weight, italic, color, letter case, alignment, line height, letter & word spacing, underline styles, text shadow, gradient text
- Box — background color or gradient, opacity, width, padding, margin, border (or a colored accent bar), rounded corners, shadow, glass blur
- Inside — style what is inside the field: bold (marker, pill, glow…), italic, underline, cloze, links, list bullets (✓ ➜ ★), tables, inline code
- Images — size, position (center, float with text around it), corners, border, shadow, filters, hover zoom, and night-mode invert for black-on-white diagrams
- Motion — hover effects and 11 entrance animations
- Night & code — separate night-mode colors, your own extra CSS, front/back injection
- Card only — the answer divider line, content width, vertical centering
✨ Features
- Live preview of a sample field or of your real card (front or back), with night mode.
- 📱 Phone & tablet preview in a device frame — and a mobile-only style: change the size or spacing only on AnkiDroid / AnkiMobile.
- 🎯 Click-to-select: click a field in the preview to edit it.
- Existing CSS detected: the add-on tells you first, shows the active options in green, and replaces the old CSS only when you apply. Remove the style and the old CSS comes back.
- 🔤 122 fonts included (sans, serif, display, handwriting, code, Arabic, plus free look-alikes of Arial, Times, Calibri…). They are copied into your media, so they work on every device after sync. + Google Font adds any other font from fonts.google.com.
- 📋 Copy a style to other fields or note types in one click.
- Safe: a backup of the note type is saved before it is changed; only the field you choose is touched.
