This should be in the project ideas forum.

Don't advertise yourself. Also, some people can't see properly so I understand this.

How about a dark mode for night time or other things. Support.

Hi!

I’m a member of the Scratch Team, and over the next two years, I’ll be working on a project to make Scratch more accessible to Scratchers with low-vision or blindness.

Before I start designing and building, I want to hear about your experience with Scratch and how you think Scratch accessibility can be improved–especially if you have blindness or low-vision. Your stories, thoughts, and feedback will guide the project and make sure that I’m making changes that improve Scratcher experiences, so please share on this forum!

Thanks!
Tina

Ooh, that's great! I think it would be amazing for multiple options based on accessibility for this feature. I can't wait to see how this will turn out.
Also, a quick question: Is colour blindness also being considered for accessibility? It is, of course, another visual impairment, and can cause some issues with similar colours in the Scratch colour palette.

I have to agree, there should be a colour blindness accessibility setting.

It's a really good idea

My dad is very color-blind, so i think this would help a lot!

You could make so that when you hover over blocks/ non-image sentences it speaks, but you can turn it off in settings if it gets annoying.

I don’t really know what it’s like to have lower quality vision, as mine is supposed to be extreme high quality (I can see all the way down to colour pigment), so I’m not sure if I could help, but go ahead! Although if it involves changing/switching colours make it opt. please.
