It depends on your experience with computers, SRS systems, etc. Those
with heavy experience like it. But, new users can be bewildered.

This is probably not the forum for this. You could ask on Anki's forum.

If I wanted to change the background color of a card, I would open a
deck, click "Add" at the top of the window (to add a card to the
deck), and then click "Cards" to get into the "Card Types" window
where the "template" for the front/back of the card is defined. This
is where you specify how you want the fields to appear.
(Side topic: Your card might have more than a "front" and "back"
field. You might break up a complex front/back into smaller units of
information that you could layout in the "front" and "back template".
To create those fields, you'd click "fields" instead of "cards" at the
beginning of the prior step.).
There is a "Styling" window on that screen with the default Anki
styling:
.card {
font-family: arial;
font-size: 20px;
text-align: center;
color: black;
background-color: white;
}
You can change the font-size of all the fields by changing that CSS
(stylesheet) property. Also the background color.
If you want your fields to be sized and colored differently, you'd do
this:
<span id="field1">{field1}</span>, <span id="field2">{field2}</
span>
span#field1 { font-size: 16px; background-color: blue; }
span#field2 { font-size: 28px; background-color: red; }
This is a good example of how Anki has some powerful features, giving
you a great deal of control by separating data from format and style.
But, it's also a good example of how a new user might think "I have
one field and just want it to be green. Why do I have to learn all
this HTML stuff?"
It's hard to find a good balance between abstraction/flexibility and
concreteness/simplicity. I like Mnemosyne's simplicity, but I'm not
yet sold on how plugins (all the way down to the level of defining
card types, multiple fields, etc.) will work. If I distribute a deck
based upon complex fields, layout, etc., it seems like anyone who uses
that deck will have a tedious learning curve identifying, downloading
and installing all the plugins required by that deck. If the system
treated decks like a package-manager, resolving "dependencies" for the
user, it might make sense.
If you have questions, feel free to email me or post to the Anki group
(maybe with a subject: Pharmtech). I don't think we should go much
further on Mnemosyne's forum.
