Hi everyone!

I made my first add-on, **Deckorator**. It gives Anki’s deck list, overview and study screen a modern look. I wanted something that looks nice when I open Anki but doesn’t distract me while I’m actually studying.

**What it does**

- 8 presets, or your own accent color. It can also take the accent from your system or your desktop wallpaper.
- Backgrounds: spotlight, dot grid, line grid, grain, waves, your own image, or your desktop wallpaper
- Calm study mode: the background goes quiet during reviews
- Bigger review counters and tinted answer buttons
- Works with Review Heatmap (restyled, colors only, or untouched)
- Turns off the blur automatically on weak laptops
- A settings window with a live preview of _your own_ decks and cards

I’ve only tested it on Linux (KDE) so far, so feedback from Windows and macOS users would help a lot. If something looks off, the settings have a “Copy diagnostic report” button. Paste that here or in a GitHub issue.

Thanks for trying it out!
