Scratch 4.0?

Is there any release date for Scratch 4.0? I feel like it would be amazing especially if scratch took a few community suggestions.

Does anyone know anything about this?

If they add dark mode, they probably wouldn't wait for a full major version

Adding dark mode wouldn't be that hard to do. Just swapping a CSS stylesheets for another CSS stylesheets (if you have no idea what CSS is, it stands for Cascading Style Sheets, and is used to style websites).

I don't think that they will make Scratch 4.0 anytime soon:

Scratch 4.0?

I looked at a video that said how to create a forum but I think they are using scratch 3.0 because there is no blue button beside the forums

It's not 4.0 yet. There was a color change in 2023 that changed the site colors from blue to purple. Replace any mention of “blue” with “purple” and you'll be fine- the interface hasn't changed, just the colors.

Scratch 4.0?

If I were to predict when 4.0 might get announced then it could be in 2026 or 2027. Probably not 2025 because Scratch Team is not done updating the 2.0 pages into the 3.0 versions! Therefore, 2026-2027 would be the most likely time window if not then later!

I would say no sooner than 2030 (and probably later). Two years really isn't a whole lot of time when it comes to developing an entire new version of Scratch.

That is, of course, if it's coming at all in the future, but I think there will be a Scratch 4.0 eventually. It's just not going to happen this year or next.

True. That said, maybe they'll be adding it in the future for 3.0 when it's fully finished!

I think that someone PR'd this on GitHub to my knowledge, but not much has started on it, yet.
