Description

This add-on was funded by the AnKing Memberships. Please consider signing up as a member so we can continue to fund add-on projects like this (and get access to our current beta add-ons!).

This add-on has been tested for Anki 2.1.41+ up to 2.1.50. It may work on older versions, but it has NOT been tested and we can't provide support for that at the moment.

ReColor your Anki desktop to whatever aesthetic you like! Combine with the Custom Background and Gear Icon add-on for an amazing look!

How to Use:

  • After installing, there will be an AnKing menu at the top. Click the ReColor submenu to open the ReColor dialog
  • The colors listed are everything that Anki customizes (unfortunately some things are linked together so changing one will change the other and there's no way around that for us)
  • Once you click "Save", the colors will update.
  • Click "Advanced" if you want to input html colors or see the underlying code

Share your pictures with #ReColorAnKing and tag @AnKingMed on social media so we can re-share it!

Tests & Formatting

This project uses mypy type checking for Python, and standardjs for formatting Javascript.

python -m mypy .
npx standard --fix

You will need to install the following python packages to run mypy:

python -m pip install aqt PyQt5-stubs mypy

This project doesn't use a strict python formatter. Even so, please make it look pretty enough :)
