Frequently asked questions Why doesn’t the add-on work? You are probably using a newer version of Anki that had minor updates which have broken the add-on. Check your version of Anki (Go to your toolbar with Anki open and click “Anki” then “About Anki”). This add-on is guaranteed to work for Anki versions 2.1.20 and lower. If you’d like to use it, download one of those versions of Anki as they work perfectly fine. Newer version of Anki may break the add-on. I do not have the time to constantly update this add-on whenever Anki changes something in their code.

for me it says the add on does not support the latest anki version and should be updated

The addon looks amazing, but it’s a shame the author is no longer bothering to update it anymore. I imagine it’s a dead addon since it’s been 4 years since an update :(

Na versão do Anki que estou usando Versão 2.1.60, o Redesign não funcionou! Creio que não foi atualizado ainda.

It worked on version 2.1.19, though it’s quite heavy and didn’t work with a very important addon I use, so I won’t be able to use it :/

Really like this add-on. Beautiful redesign.
One problem though, I loaded it with Enhance Main Window, and my main screen always shifted to the left, any fix? Comment from author Unfortunately, changing the code for everyone would affect the appearance, but you might be able to adjust the code on your own. Go into the code for the add-on and open: init.py
Then, scroll down and you’ll have to manually adjust the code with trial and error with your Enhance Main Window add-on to see what w

So awesome, auther.

Greate design! This should be the default design and be integrated in Anki itself. It is a pity, that the backwards compatibility is not easily maintainable.
Thanks a lot to the creator, you did a wonderful job. It is minimalistic and really refreshing. It’s like an upgrade from Windows NT to a current macOS ;) Comment from author I appreciate the kind words!

Doesn’t support the latest version. I know this is mentioned on the page, but the app isn’t useful if it doesn’t work. Please update! Comment from author Use the last version of Anki. I do not have the time to constantly update the add-on whenever a minor update is released to Anki, and it works up to Anki 2.1.20.

Thank you, you are a true artist.
The addon works fine on 2.1.21.

awesome !! thank you for sharing. It’s so refreshing :)
Also I really love the progress bar on the screenshot but it’s not showing up on my computer.
Configuration: Anki 2.1.14 on a Mac running Mojave.
Is there a problem or is it an add-on that has to been installed separately?
thank you <(^.^)> Comment from author Thanks! I’m glad you like it! The progress bar is simply my redesign of the Progress Bar add-on made by a different developer. If you’d like my version, you can download it o

Great idea, but some bugs to work out. After completing a card, getting an error: “Invalid HTML on card: SyntaxError: Unexpected token <”; possibly with the cards themselves but the add-on should be configured to correct this or instructions provided to add something to the cards to prevent this.
Additionally, when working with the “More Deck Stats and Time Left” add-on, it left justifies the box that this adds to the main screen. I am on Anki 2.1.20.

Hi, I love this addon but just so you know, it’s giving errors with the new 2.1.22 update.

So beautiful! Really breathes some life into anki. There are two problems though, It collapses all tags, as in hierarchical tags do not work, I am using the “Blitzkreig II browser” add-on, second is the night-mode support, other than that it is an amazing add-on, thank you so much!
