There seems to be a misunderstanding. Only one limit can be set at a given time. E.g. if you change the limit for ‘Today only’, then switch to use ‘This deck’ and change that as well, and then click ‘Save’, the limit for ‘Today only’ won’t be saved. If it was, there would be no way to disable it and the other limits would always be overruled.
In other words, the tabs widget is not only there to save space and avoid having thrice as much spinboxes, but its selected tab determines the currently active limit.
I understand that this might seem unintuitive to some, but I don’t know how it could be done in a clearer way.

A post was split to a new topic: Feature to copy fields
Thank for clarifying, Rumo. Yes, it’s probably not a very intuitive behaviour, I think most users would expect that if you modify several parameters and click “Save”, all modified parameters (and not just the last one) would be saved.
However, I think that “Save” doesn’t work properly if you enter the settings with the keyboard, but if you use the arrows instead, everything works as you describe:

2.1.54 used the Fusion Style | Qt Quick Controls 6.8.1. I removed it so macOS can use its native UI styles and added custom stylesheets for Windows and Linux to make Anki look more modern.
Is there a particular reason you want to go back to the previous style? Personally I find the UI in the 2.1.55 screenshot more pleasing.

I personally find the 2.1.54 screenshot far more attractive. Back when @dae did this initially a while ago he included the method I linked above to switch between the two because I did a survey and overwhelmingly people preferred that 2.1.54 look to the 2.1.55 look. Is there a reason you needed to remove that particular code? I think making both optional as it has been in the past is probably the best

I also prefer the previous betas style. I don’t find the round buttons so attractive

I prefer the 2.1.55 style. Maybe it depends on your operation system: .55 matches the macOS UI better better than .54.
Is it possible you guys are just used to it at this point? The fact that Anki used a non-native theme for dark mode on macOS was not an aesthetic choice; it was done to work around technical limitations - first because we couldn’t tell macOS the app should be running in dark mode, and later because it didn’t work correctly when switching between light and dark mode. The dark_mode_widgets setting allowed users who were willing to limit themselves to dark mode and never switch to light mode to access the native macOS styling, but it was hidden away because of how it broke things when the theme was changed.
Those limitations no longer exist, and Anki can now use the standard macOS theme in both light and dark mode, matching other apps on the system, and being consistent between light and dark modes. If you switch to light mode and run the following in the debug console, do you prefer it too?
mw.app.setStyle(QStyleFactory.create("fusion"))
(open something like the preferences screen to see the changed widgets)

I have always preferred the 2.1.54 style over 2.1.55 (hence why I mentioned even back in 2.1.20ish.
Running mw.app.setStyle(QStyleFactory.create("fusion")) in the debug consule made it very similar and seems like a reasonable compromise if that’s an option in Night mode as well.
You can use the same command to set the Fusion style with an add-on. Perhaps it would be a good addition to Anki Redesign.
I wasn’t able to get that to work with dark mode? But I’d be happy to do a poll on what people prefer?
They’re also linked at the top left of the betas page 
The update script didn’t add the new file - should be sorted now.
Thanks, should be fixed in the next beta.
Would be helpful to know what percentage of people prefer the old look.

Typed-in answer confirmation sometimes behaves a bit weirdly.
E.g. .54 (normal behaviour)
.55 beta3 (same with beta1 and 2)
Hi all,
Beta 4 is now available:
https://betas.ankiweb.net/anki2.1.55.html#beta-4
Unfortunately that is caused by the change in text comparison library, and not easy to fix.

I love the UI in the beta 4! Everything looks very clean and modern.
One thing I’d maybe change is make the font size of the intervals a bit smaller in the review screen. It seems a bit large now, I think it used to be about the same font size as the buttons.

Hello, in About window little margin between buttons Copy Debug Info / OK and frame of the dialog should be added. Noticed in beta4 and previous version of Anki as well.
Thank you for such great tool as Anki is.

Beta4: during adding tags in Add Dialog I have noticed that after one tag is chosen properly immediately after that the ‘x’ button appears for a second or so and then disappeard.
Secondly after editing tags I noticed also unnecessary ‘X’ buttons. Please take a look on the effect:

Nice to have a new beta! I really like it.
A couple things I noticed (Windows 10 qt6)
- if Reduce motion is active, the Editor fields get a very thick doubled bottom border
- in the Tags bar, a blue line (a partially hidden border?) appears to the left of the cursor
Also: in Deck Options, the right arrow stops being displayed as soon as the window is large enough to fit two columns.
The reason seems to be that button.right.svelte-1cm9jh7 is not defined in the css (while the left counterpart is), so after window resizing the right chevron moves down a few pixels?
Edit: also, in the Template editor, the ‘choose cloze number to preview’ menu seems a bit asymmetrical, the text a bit too close to the right border?

First off, absolutely love the direction the UI is taking. I try not to depend on addons so the adaptable side by side browser / note editor is also awesome!
In the Beta 4, Apple Silicon on a MBP 2021 / Ventura, in Dark mode both MacOS and Anki, the Browse screen’s card/note list coloring every other row has changed. I’m finding it hard to read. Is there any way to revert to the more subtle coloring from previous builds?

New UI is indeed much better. My primary issue is Card Browser. It’s not about tastes, it’s barely usable for those of us who cursed by poor eyesight. Some columns font is such small that I can barely see it even in glasses.
Please, have mercy. Such compact UI is hard to read already, don’t make it even harder with small fonts and paddings. To me scrolling isn’t a problem, but eyestrain is. I’d really appreciated something closer to material design.
