Does anyone notice the follow discussion button got into gray? If you're following it, click the “Unfollow Discussion” button and you'll see the button's gray instead of blue or purple.

Well the outline is purple, but the button itself is gray. I think it should be changed since a purple button would look much better.

if <add blue back> then no more yapping

end

Pretty sure all they need to do is to put in some java which changes the CSS

As far as i can see, the purple doesnt really make a difference to anyone with good vision and they're acting like the americans did when they tried to put diagrams on road signs. A change that makes it more accessible, but people didn't like it because it was european and new and they had american pride or whatever.

Okay, this should be implemented when the skin is pushed to the whole site, but here are a few reasons why this should happen:

Scratch Wiki:
The wiki has it. Why shouldn't we have it?

A nice feature:
It gives users the freedom to break free from the blue and use a colour they may prefer

Simple:
It's somewhat simple. All you need to do is have a box requesting a colour code, or a colour name and it inputs it into a variable. That then extracts to the navigation bar and text colour.

Okay, but what if someone's set it to light grey, or white?
Then the site would automatically notice and change the text colour and colour of the messages and my stuff buttons on the navigation bar to black.

What about the default colour? What would it be?
Good question there. It would be the colour we have now. #855cd6 - purple. The text would automatically be in this text box.

What if a user is logged out?
It works the same as the wiki. You can't change it when logged out.

Use extensions!!!
Okay, there are people who are lazy in this world. Aside from being lazy, those extensions are only local, they don't apply to everywhere. I want to see this being quick and simple to set. I want to be able to log into a library all the way over in London (I live in the West Midlands) and still immediately see Scratch in dark theme as soon as I log into it. No tooling around or anything. Long story stort, I'm a productivity guy. When doing things, I find the quickest way to do it to save time, because it matters!

Lemme elaborate even more:
An option in account settings to change the skin's colour. This text box's contents, when applied will be imported into a variable and the text colour and navigation bar would change to that colour. This text box should also be accompanied by a colour picker that includes the full sRGB colour spectrum (thanks kenny2scratch for the idea). A list of pre-sets could be given for the user to click on, in order for that user to select a colour of their choice (although the comprehensive sRGB colour picker should absolutely still be present; thanks Vetzlan for the idea).That's pretty simple, right? Right so far. On top of that, though another suggestion, it's still concerning the skin itself. Here's an example screenshot of the homepage with another colour:

Anyway, here's my other idea. Dark theme. In account settings, there would be an option to switch to and from dark theme and light theme. Here's a screenshot of dark theme:

Here's a guide of the colours used:
Non-links/navigation bar links: #ffffff
Section headers: #24292e then #000000
Links: default
Background/section backgrounds/footer: #24292e

It also may be an idea to introduce this to the editor as well, since it's as (if not more) important as the website itself. The whole theme would synchronise across the whole site including the editor.

If you do get the option to actually log into the 3.0 offline editor (which would be cool), it would be cool to synchronise this idea to there.

Thoughts?
