I notice youโ€™re asking about changing card background color with the Recolor add-on in Anki. Let me help you with that question.

While this is an Anki-specific question rather than an AnkiHub-specific one, I can provide some general guidance and then point you to the right resources.

From your screenshot, I can see youโ€™re using the Recolor add-on in Anki and trying to change the background color of your cards. The Recolor add-on allows you to customize various aspects of Ankiโ€™s interface and card appearance.

To properly address Anki add-on questions like this, Iโ€™d recommend:

  1. Checking the documentation that came with the Recolor add-on (often found in the add-onโ€™s description page on AnkiWeb)
  2. Posting in the Anki Support Forum where there are many experienced Anki users who can help with add-on-specific questions

For general Anki questions like this one, the Anki Support Forum is the best place to get help since this AnkiHub Community forum is specifically for AnkiHub-related questions.

If you have any questions specifically about using AnkiHub features with your decks, please feel free to ask those here!

Hello,

Since the card background color is set by the card template, you will need to use a specific add-on to change it.

Please follow these steps:

  1. Download and install this add-on: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/952691989

  2. After itโ€™s installed, restart Anki.

  3. On the Anki main screen, navigate to AnKing > Note Types.

  4. Select โ€œGeneralโ€ or the Note Type for which you want to make the changes. There, you can set the background color.

Let me know if you need help with anything else. :blush:
