sry, I meant a block like this:

Ok. But if the last drop down is keep it rough then it becomes identical to a normal costume switch, s I deem it not required

so you mean its supposed to be like this?:

Transition [sprite 1 v] [costume 1 v] to [costume 2 v] and smooth it out

create clone of [myself v]
set [ghost v] effect to (100)
switch costume to [whatever v]
repeat (10)
  change [ghost v] effect by (-10)
end

when I start as a clone
repeat (10)
  change [ghost v] effect by (10)
end
delete this clone

Generally this can be done with clones:

create clone of [myself v]
set [ghost v] effect to (100)
switch costume to [whatever v]
repeat (10)
  change [ghost v] effect by (-10)
end

when I start as a clone
repeat (10)
  change [ghost v] effect by (10)
end
delete this clone

As the clone (which has the old costume) fades out, the main sprite (which has the new costume) fades in. After the fade-in, the clone gets deleted. You can adjust the timing to your needs, as well as create your own effects, using this concept.

Well, why couldn't a 3rd party developer make a program just for this purpose?

Well, here's a suggestion. when you hover over a block with the mouse, a box pops up that tells you what that block does, and the applications of it.

switch backdrop to [ v]

define fade from (costume 1) to (costume 2) for (duration) secs
switch costume to (costume 1)
set [the fading clone? v] to [1]
set [the fading duration v] to (duration)
create clone of [myself v]
set [the fading clone? v] to [0]
broadcast [fade out old costume v]
switch costume to (costume 2)
fade [out] for (duration) secs

when I receive [fade out old costume v]
if <(the fading clone?) = [1]> then
  fade [in] for (the fading duration) secs
  delete this clone
end

define fade (direction :: custom-arg) for (duration) secs
set [ghost v] effect to (<(direction :: custom-arg) = [in]> * (100))
if <(direction :: custom-arg) = [in]> then
  set [fade step v] to [-1]
else
  set [fade step v] to [1] 
end
set [fade delay v] to (((duration) / (100)) - (0.9667))
repeat (100)
  change [ghost v] effect by (fade step)
  wait (fade delay) secs
end
