Hi, I want that I can change the background Color of my notes based on the Notebook the Note is in.

So lets say I have a Notebook called "work notes" I want that all notes in this Notebook have a light yellow background. Not just a text highlight but the whole background canvas

So I assume that I have to add some .css code to the userstyle.css file ?

Is there a possibility to select the background of all notes that are in a certain Category and if yes what would be the code ?
