Dark Mode/Nighttime Mode

taycat34

So I've looked through ‘The complete list of rejected suggestions’ and ‘The suggestions directory’ and haven't found anything about what I mean if I missed someone suggesting this, I am sorry. I also don't think it already exists, not that I know of, at least.

White can be irritating and painful to look at, epically at later times in the day, or even night, or even just because of clouds. So, I propose an idea that is growing with Twitter, Discord, Youtube, and even some phone messengers.

Dark or Nighttime mode. Essentially, large white spaces are turned black. The “Create, Explore, Tips, About” and scratch logo, as well as the notification tabs and username would be fine in white, but large spaces are not so pretty, especially for people with sensitive eyes. (Like myself.)

Darker things, like most of the icons you click (Paintbrush tool, Soundwaves, Remove/undo arrows, etc) can be substituted for orange, white, blue, or the grey that is currently used for the other parts of the scratch editor. Same for the front page. The edit sprite's background could be darker greys/grays, rather than white and light grey/grays. It should also be an option to turn on or leave off, with white being the default.

Thanks for reading, and again, sorry if this has already been requested.

(TL;DR: Turn large bright/white surfaces to dark/black colors. An option you can turn off or on.)

I think this is a duplicate, but I can't find the link. Support anyways! This would be great.

I actually think they could be adding this since they're looking for ways to make the site more accessible to users with vision problems.

Thanks for the link! It does look like this is a duplicate topic so I'll close it to keep the conversation all in one place.

Please use the existing topic in the link above.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.
