Make scratch more colorful

What I mean by “colorful” is giving the scratch UI and menus more color & pop. Sometimes when I look at the UI it feels overly simplified and a little boring in a way . Im not saying give the website massive rainbow colors, im saying maybe a bit more sophisticated designs, some gradients, and outlines is what I’m talking about in this suggestion.

Here’s an example I have for the green flag button: Im not asking for it to look like that (it could probably be toned down a bit) but it’s kinda what I’m talking about

For the flag, there's NO WAY I'm supporting that. That is just WAY too detailed.

Ah, so basically you want everything a little bit more detailed. It would be nice to add in a little extra detail, but some people may prefer the simple scratch UI, so I support if there is an option.

Support, I think the current UI is a bit bland.

adding an option for everything is just… not.

Also, the green flag and stop signs already have css titles

Elaborate on “confusing”

How would gradients, outlines, and a bit more detail make the site confusing to use.

it already looks like an eye, idk if giving it color and a bit of shading will make it more confusing than it already is

I’d say they’d just make it shaded or give it a new design, not turn it into some analog horror/arg image

(The joke is that analog horror and args usually feature atleast one spooky eye related thing)

Semi support.
Would be fine if they are two different themes, with the simpler one being the main one

This is a kid's site, so I actually do not support this. There are kids as young as 8 here, and changing the site's layout may be too complicated and confusing for them.
Can you elaborate??
Like, I feel like this might not be the case. Unless they're adding new features or hiding stuff behind multiple menus, I don't really get this

“changing the site's layout” I didn't say anything about changing the layout..? I was just suggesting to make the website more colorful
Also, with the green flag example, it could probably help make the site more understanding actually because it signifies that the green flag = go = start project and if the same were done for the stop sign, it would also, probably make the site more understanding cause stop = project stop

I also feel like this might not always be true??
