Hello, I found [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/9z8gje/a_useful_trick_for_styling_in_css_based_on_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) on Reddit which offers a seemingly clean way of styling cards based on tag. I wanted simply to have a different background based on the tag for starters. However, when I apply it to the reversed card template (I would like this to be applied to all my reversed cards), nothing changes. EDIT: Curiously, the changes are visible in Ankidroid, but not previewable on the desktop version! If I change the background using CSS on the desktop and try to preview, I don’t get an update. I am able to preview them on Ankidroid, however. Might be worth posting this on a separate thread. Is the solution in the Reddit thread still compatible with Anki Windows 10 version 2.1.44? What do I need to do to change my cards’ background based on tag? Is it possible? Apologies if this has been asked multiple times before. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. EDIT: It appears to be an issue with Anki on desktop. If I save changes and synchronize, I can preview the cards on Ankidroid and the changes work as expected. Might be worth checking this issue on a separate thread. ---
