An idea I thought of. Is that allot of people don't like the block size in 3.0 so maybe the Scratch Team could add a custom block size so tablet users could have big blocks and pc users can have small blocks and everyone can have the size they want.

set size to (Whatever you want ) %

I agree! The Scratch Team is already exploring ways to solve this, so maybe you should be more specific on ways you think this should happen? In my mind, it might be a smart idea to add percentages. Since the current zoom-in & zoom-out system zooms out of the entire editor, we should be able to toggle block sizes specifically so that the text is not too small. I also think that if this is implemented, it would be a good idea to set a min and max for this.

yes i think that would be a great idea thank you so much


I think the idea of a min and max and percentages and that the text will change size is a great idea thank you so much. is it ok if i use some of the stuff you said for the description?

i don't really understand the point you're trying to make

They want a feature where you can control the block size, this would be helpful for far-sighted people, for example.
Support, for reasons above.

Yes, this! I think having the blocks be large relative to their text size is a great idea for Scratch 3.0's mobile integration so you can code with fingers on a small screen, but on desktop it's often cumbersome to either work with chunky blocks that take up a lot of the screen, or blocks of a more manageable size that you can't read the text of. I'd love to be able to change the editor's text size, maybe even an option to boldface it or change it to a more visible monospace font like Courier New. I guess overall I don't really like the 3.0 editor's font; I guess it looks nice, but it's not very easy to read at a distance or small size. That might be a topic for another thread though

when I receive [large v]
create clone of [cheese v]
add [burger] to [with v]
ketchup, (join [uhhh] [ lettuce,])
go to [i'll try that blue stuff, v]
broadcast [and uhh yeah v]

YES! That is the reason I quit Scratch, because 3.0 blocks are just too big, it honestly makes everything so much harder. (came back, obviously, but still!)

if <I choose to use blocks in my forum post> then
think [of an idea instead of just going on about how you have no idea]
end

Rename size to padding (the space around the text)
