Description

Adds a "Style β–Ύ" dropdown button to the Anki editor toolbar β€” both when creating a new note (Add dialog) and when editing existing notes in the Browser. Clicking it opens a menu with a few fixed colour styles (each shown with a colour swatch).

What it does

  • Nothing selected: the colour becomes the active typing colour, so you can just start typing in that colour
  • Text selected: the colour is applied to the selection only
  • Formatting that is already active (e.g. bold) is preserved
  • The colour is always written as an inline <span style="color: …"> (never a <font> tag), consistent with the rest of your card HTML

Fixed styles

  • GrΓΌn β€” rgb(0, 128, 0)
  • Lila β€” rgb(153, 51, 102)
  • Rot β€” rgb(255, 0, 0)

Developed for modern Anki (Qt6).
