It can’t look exactly like the normal cloze note type for several reasons (mainly the scroll functionality), but I updated it to be more plain by default:

## Changes

- Remove all color functionality
  - I had forced this upon you without it being requested and never explained how to use it.

- Simplify styling
  - The default style is now as plain as reasonably achievable.
  - I commented some variables and left definitions you can tweak on top.
  - CSS that is meant to be preserved for the note type to work is now minified.

- Extra information is now blurred on the backside, not completely hidden
  - it can be revealed by
    - scrolling
    - clicking/touching anywhere
    - hitting Tab (key can be changed, search for “keydown” in the code)

- Demo deck contains fewer notes (one for each method).
- AnkiMobile is now supported.
  - Header stays fixed now.
  - Some buggy visuals on card flipping have been observed on my old iPad.

@01101 I left the default accent color blue as this is what most people are used to. If you want the clozes to be green, you can use something like `#04aa6d` for the variable `--accent-color`. Please let me know if this is any better.
