This is not a bug, is a suggestion.

Requesting to be moved to “Suggestions”.

I think you're missing the point- my costume editor is small. The ST have already replied on this post and I have found out that it is to do with my monitor resolution being different.

Thanks.

Bump.

This is very annoying for those of us on computers. You either have to work with a tiny paint editor, choose an external editor or zoom in every time you want to edit an image then zoom out so all your other web pages and the rest of scratch look OK.

Current screen:
https://ibb.co/S7WmNyc
The paint editor takes up about 1/4 of the available space.

Resized screen:
https://ibb.co/vwx6BpK
The paint editor takes up about 9/10 of the available space.


If the scrach team want to do anything about this they could easily fix it in css. Something like:

.costume_editor_container {
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 360px / 480px * 100%;
background: white;
position: relative;
}
.costume_editor {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

That would be good, thank you for finding that out hopefully ST can take note.

For now I have found I can set my res to 1280x720 and the box appears the right size (doesnt ruin aesthetics of other web pages as much as zooming in)

The editor area is 480 by 360 pixels. There are no obvious buttons nearby that can make it larger. About half of my screen is blank, useless space.

class=“paint-editor_canvas-container_x2D0a”

This is the bit that needs enlarging.
Someone fix it, its been like that for over a year.

Yes, it is pretty annoying.
I'll have a look at making a fork and a pull request for this but I have not worked with the scratch back-end before.

It's fixed now.

Reporting to be closed as it's fixed.
