README

Nocturne (by Ankicraft)

Anki's default interface looks functional. After three hours of reviewing cards, "functional" starts to feel grey, mismatched, and hard on the eyes. Nocturne replaces the entire color system β€” every border, button, background, and state color β€” with a palette designed to be coherent and comfortable across all of Anki's views. πŸŒ™

Nocturne gives Anki the visual polish it's missing.

FEATURES

  • 🎨 Fully redesigned color palette β€” covers every UI surface in both light and dark mode, nothing left at Anki's defaults.
  • πŸŒ‘ Dark mode that actually looks dark β€” deep navy backgrounds (#12161F) instead of washed-out charcoal.
  • β˜€οΈ Light mode with softer whites and cleaner contrast, easier on the eyes during long sessions.
  • πŸ”€ Modern font stack (Segoe UI Variable / Inter / system-ui) applied to all interface views.
  • ✨ Subtle ambient radial gradient in the background adds depth without distraction.
  • βš™οΈ Zero configuration needed β€” install, restart Anki, done.
  • πŸ”„ Responds instantly to theme switches β€” toggling Night Mode in Anki updates all colors on the fly.

HOW TO USE

  1. Install from AnkiWeb (Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Get Add-ons).
  2. Restart Anki.
  3. The new color theme is active automatically β€” no configuration needed.
  4. To toggle dark/dark mode, use Anki's built-in night mode setting as normal.

SETTINGS

No user-facing settings. Nocturne works silently in the background. If you want to inspect or reset the internal state, go to Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Nocturne β†’ Config.

COMPATIBILITY

Tested on Anki 24.x (Windows). Should work on macOS and Linux; if you run into any visual issues, please leave a comment on the add-on page and I'll look into it.

CHANGELOG

v1.0.0 β€” 2026-07-15 β€” Initial release.
