Adds a fade in effect when screens change in Anki to smooth out the animation, this may help as a workaround when flickering occurs on Anki screens (e.g. Zoom add-on).

This fade in feature was inspired by the add-on "Advanced Answer Sounds" so some of the code is credited to them.

How to use

Download the add-on to enable the fade in. You can change the fade in duration in the options or disable it.

Option

Reviewer and other fade in adjustments.

Reviewer fade in

• Reviewer Fade in

  • Disabling this will turn off all reviewer fade-ins.

• Answer Fade in

  • Disabling this will only run the fade in on Question(Front) and disable the fade in on Answer(Back).

• Reviewer fade in Span

  • Sets the duration of the reviewer fade-in in seconds. e.g. if set to 1.0 it will fade in slowly over 1 second.

• Reviewer fade in Delay

  • Sets the delay before the reviewer fade in starts in seconds. e.g. if set to 1.0 the page will remain blank for 1 second and then start the fade in.

Others fade in

All fade in effects except for the Reviewer.

• Othres fade in
  • Disabling this will disable all fade ins except for the Reviewer.
• Othres fade in Span
  • Sets the duration of the Anki fade-in in seconds. e.g. if set to 1.0 it will fade in slowly over 1 second.
• Othres fade in Delay
  • Sets the delay before Anki fade in starts in seconds. e.g. if set to 1.0 the page will remain blank for 1 second and then start the fade in.

Note

1. This add-on has a feature that hides the Anki screen for fade in, so if a problem occurs the Anki screen may become invisible. If so and if you cannot operate Anki please press the Shift key while launching Anki and disable the add-on.
2. If a fade in effect already exists in your card template or other add-ons it may interfere with this add-on and cause problems. If so please report the problem to me and send me the card template or add-on name.
3. If your Anki version is a bit old or unsupported the fade in will stop automatically. If so please send me your Anki version and OS name (Win, Mac, Linux).
