Makes title bars black for most Anki windows and dialogs on Windows, though newer Anki versions already include dark title bars.
Resizes card images to a configurable max width and crops fixed top/bottom pixels to hide slide headers or bars during review, non-destructively, with live preview and note-type targeting.

README
AnkiBare
A minimalist macOS add-on that hides Anki's window title bar for a clean, bare look.
The title bar is made transparent and its space is reclaimed by the content, and the traffic-light buttons (close / minimize / zoom) are removed. The window stays titled underneath, so macOS keeps its rounded corners and native shadow — it just looks headerless.
Behavior
- No visible title bar or window buttons — the header space is given back to Anki's content.
- Rounded corners preserved — because the window remains titled, macOS keeps rounding it (a fully borderless window would be square).
- Dragging still works — the (now invisible) title-bar strip along the top is still a drag handle, so you can reposition the window normally.
- Resizing still works — from the window edges and corners, as usual.
- Close / minimize with the usual shortcuts (⌘W, ⌘M) or the menu bar, since the buttons are gone.
Great on its own, and pairs cleanly with translucent-window add-ons (e.g. AnkiGlass) since the rounded shape is kept.
Requirements
macOS only. On Windows and Linux the add-on loads and does nothing.
