How do I change to light mode on ankiweb?

My ankiweb on my chromebook is really dark and makes it hard for me to study my deck. I tried changing the device to light mode and my website to light mode nothing works.

The AnkiWeb site doesn’t have a built-in dark mode, so that’s either coming from your web browser or the formatting on your cards.

how do I change the format on my deck?

There are 3 Styling and formatting places it could be coming from. The usual and most efficient places to change it are #1 and #2 – but if that’s not working, it may be because of color being applied at #3.

  1. The styling for your note type, where classes of formatting can be defined overall for all of the cards, or for specific cards, or specific parts of cards.
  2. The card templates themselves call those classes defined in styling, but they can also contain formatting for specific field replacements.
  3. Formatting in the text of a specific note is controlled in the note editor by the editing toolbar. If there’s a lot of that to remove, Find and Replace might be useful. You might need to open the HTML view (click < > above the field) to see it in the field.

Once you figure out what needs to change, if you need more specific help with the HTML or CSS in your templates/Styling, you can post it here – as text (not a screenshot), and in a preformatted-text/code-block – and folks can probably help you with what needs to change.
