Hi. 

Is there any way to change the position and size of that tiny (media) replay button stuck up in the top right corner of the Ankidroid interface (among a bunch of other buttons and clutter). 

I do my reviewing mainly by listening recognition, so it's a major point. I have to take care to not to hit any other adjacent buttons, and it's annoyingly small and kind of remote. 

Not sure if anyone has developed any alternatives or if there's some standard way to reposition or resize it. 

Thanks.

It's the same size as every other button in the toolbar on Android... If you have trouble pushing it reliably then you will certainly have trouble pressing toolbar buttons in other apps as well, so you might want to look into one of the accessibility options on your phone for dealing with such problems.

That being said, you can disable that toolbar button, and just use the embedded play buttons on the card itself. You can freely customize the embedded buttons using css. For example, there's an example on the wiki of how to disable it.

As for the "clutter", you can disable the toolbar buttons that you don't use from the main preferences if they are bothering you.

I saw this on github: 

Remove the audio play button from flashcards

If you prefer to use the "replay audio" action in the menu, and have the play button hidden on the flashcards, add the following to the bottom of the "Styling" section of your card template:

.replaybutton {display: none;}

That's exactly what I want - an audio replay button embedded in the card (i.e. the quoted "problem" is my [as yet unfound] solution). What would be the opposite of "none" in the above formatting line?

(Sorry if this sounds incredibly dumb.)

That button is shown on cards with audio by default (unless you use TTS for listening because then there is no audio embedded in the card). It should be a simple black triangle as shown in these screenshots: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/4152
You could use some other styling instead of "display: none;" to make it more prominent.
