And why? What's the advantage?
There is none. Locking cloud vars from New Scratchers makes sense, but why should we lock 16:9 from them?

Why?
Yeah. Making projects is part of becoming a Scratcher anyway.

We Need These Blocks

change screen size by x: () y: ()

change ( v) by x: () y: ()

The Screen Size Could be A Dropdown Including:
Screen Size (just change the size)
Screen Position (could work like a camera)

I feel like this could be a little problematic for the projects designed to have a 4:3 aspect ratio so it would be nice to atleast have a toggle to disable the bigger aspect ratio if it gets added

Support! Maybe added as an option in the editor or an extension allowing a few different aspect ratios, but off by default and toggleable if an option in the editor.
Wow, this post has been around like 12 years maybe we'll finally get this in 4.0 or smth

Hi everyone! Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I still stand by my original opinion on this topic, but it’s always interesting to see how the discussion evolves. Wishing you all the best!

Once again, this form has been going on since 2013.
Here are, once again, my opinions on this;

A few years ago, I made a post here, explaining how this would be a horrible idea. And I stand with what my original post had written, it would be chaos!
If scratch were to convert all projects to 16:9, everything would break and look bad, as all projects were built with 4:3 in mind. Even if scratch team were to make it a toggleable option, people would still soon begin to migrate entirely to 16:9, and overall begin to prefer it. Leaving the poor 4:3 projects into dust as the child creators either don't want to, or don't know how to convert them into a 16:9 project. This would inevitably make everyone switch to 16:9 and 4:3 being removed in a later update due to inactivity.
Adding on, 4:3 is clean, simple and neat. The point of teaching programming to children on scratch is to have it be clean, simple, neat and easy to understand. A toggle would be confusing for younger kids, as they wouldn't know why their teachers screen is in 16:9 but theirs are in 4:3. So they'd all get confused and switch to the FAR inferior, Scratch JR, or even worse, the paid Tynker. Deserting the entire scratch website for probably indefinitely. (thanks to TheSmartGuy1234 for that)
Finally, have you ever heard of project storage limit? Projects can store only 50mb of code and 10mb of assets (sprites, costumes, music, etc), so unless they higher this limit (very unlikely) 16:9 would be incredibly awful for the 10mb asset storage limit, as you would need more space to draw your sprites, and thus, more storage usage.
People definitely have mixed feelings about this topic, and I respect your personal opinions on this matter, but my opinion is sealed indefinitely, as I am (most likely) leaving this discussion forever. Thank you for reading.

when green flag clicked
say [Thank you for reading!] for (2) secs





Because of these bunch of messages I'm some sort of celebrity to this forum.

I still, to this day, stand my opinion, however.
This wouldnt impact the storage in a massive way.
Second of all, children are not that brainless that they dont understand the concept of a toggle. If their on scratch, they know it.
Third of all, do you think that OP said that everything would be fullscreen, no, he meant a toggle.
fourth of all, i like your pfp.
massive you know what else is massive low taper fade


FULL SUPPORT I NEED THIS TO BE ADDED EVERYTHINGS SO AWKWARD WITH 4:3 ASPECT RATIO!!!
It would be lovely to have a lot more space to put stuff rather then everything being cluttered. Keep projects before the update 4:3 while all new projects will be 16:9 with an option to change it.

I don't exactly agree with this, it would be weird if you went into the image editor and fiddled around. Like this: if you had the screen size big, and your sprite was small, and you wanted to add more things to your sprite's current costume, the costume editor will only allow you to make your sprite's size so big. There's a limit where you can't use most tools in certain areas. This idea seems like a cool one at first, but it's good to think about drawbacks or negative effects too

The stage dynamically resizing during the project would be very laggy. It should be a per-project option.

So that old scratch projects don't break when it HYPOTHETICALLY were to release, it would be an option, which could give a way to make a “Custom” aspect ratio (ex: 1:2, 1:3,) with presets to make it easier. (ex: 4:3 (CURRENT), 16:9, 16:10,)
