If you have a problem with the add-on editor: apply font color, background color, custom class, custom style post in this thread. This way I get notified. If you make a new thread I will likely miss it.
Hi, I donât know if it is possible but I wanted to change the background color of my cards.
In the same deck, I want some cards in blue, another ones in orange and last ones in green, in order to distinguish them at first sight.
My problem is that every time I change the color, it changes in all the cards that are the same type (I just want to change the specific card I´m edditing)
This has nothing to do with my add-on which is meant for highlighting small sections of one card.
There are multiple solutions.
You could use different note types. E.g. clone your existing note type twice and then adjust the .card property in the styling section of the card template dialog.
There are also more sophisticated approaches. Like adding an additional field to your note and then applying css based on the content of this field. This is often used when learning languages with different genders so that e.g. for German people use three colors for their vocabulary cards. Search the old forum and the anki subreddit about this. There are good solutions.
Check out the this article Changing the background. I think this would solve your problem.
If you donât understand this: To get started with card styling etc watch the third video âstyling cardsâ that is linked from the top of the manual, https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html Then maybe have a look at Anki: Customizing Card Style (font, color, hints, etc)

I´m sorry my question had nothing to do with your add-on 
Thank you so much
This is a really cool add-on, but is it possible to make the name in the Tools menu shorter? The length makes it way wider than it needs to be⌠Thanks!
@celsient: At the moment you need to change the source code of the add-on (and do this after each update of the add-on). In the folder for this add-on thereâs a file __init__.py that has a line action.setText(f"Adjust config for {addonname}"). Change it to action.setText("Adjust config for styling add-on") or something like this.
to go to the add-on folder: in the add-on window select my add-on and the click the button âView Filesâ.

@diogenes_nunes: thanks for reporting this bug. I just uploaded a new version to ankiweb that should fix it. Please update your add-ons and restart Anki. If you still have this problem or find another bug with my add-on please let me know.
Its complement is the best of anki! Congratulations!
The update resolved the previous error.
I found another bug now.
When applying STYLE INLINE it does not work.
The hotkey also does not work.
@diogenes_nunes: Thanks for reporting the new bug. I usually donât use inline styling so I missed it. Thatâs why I need good bug reports (like yours).
I just uploaded a new version to ankiweb that should fix it. Please update your add-ons and restart Anki. If you still have this problem or find another bug with my add-on please let me know.
@arpitdhiman777

A quick fix would be to update to the latest Anki version, however I will push a fix later today, just be a little more patient 
Edit: I just pushed the fix.
