Anking note types

Is there a way to change the color of the font in the lecture notes field, through the anking note type tool, so that it applies to all cards?

I donโ€™t believe you can change the text color of the Lecture Notes field via the AnKing Note Types add-on.

You can manually do it like this:
Goto Manage Note Types (Shift+Cmd+N)
Click to highlight the note type and then select โ€œFieldsโ€
Click โ€œStylingโ€ or Cmd+3
Scroll down till you see โ€œ/*~~~~~~~~~COLORS~~~~~~~~~*/โ€ or search for it
Insert this code, I chose between โ€œExtraโ€ and Hint colors

/* "Lecture Notes" Field Color */
#notes, #notes i {
  color: [Color];
}

You should be able to see the change in the preview
Hit save and youโ€™re done

If you use night mode, scroll down a little further and insert this code in the night mode color section

/* NM "Lecture Notes" Field Color */
.nightMode #notes, .nightMode #notes i,
.night_mode #notes, .night_mode #notes i {
  color: [Color];
}

Also, make sure you replace โ€œ[Color]โ€ with a color name or hex code.

Hope this helps and works out for you!

Thanks. Was hoping you could use the note types add on as I have a lot of cards that have lecture notes, and donโ€™t want to do each one individually. Maybe in the future the Anki team could add this?

This method would change all the cards that use the note type you edit, aka the entire AnKing deck. This is just the manual way of doing what the AnKing note types add-on does

Oh awesome thanks
