Do you have proof of this?
Anyway, bringing this topic up.

Kids believe the windows saved your device thingy. I just click through it, because all I download nowadays is baldi decompiles, minecraft fabric mods and images from windows xp

I don't see how what was sent would be detected in the first place though, and if you look at the commit, it doesn't seem to be a virus. It just seems to be a DARK_THEME thing and a bunch of color CSS stuff

Alongside the high contrast blocks, dark mode was being developed, but it was never finished.

Hello

The dark theme existed in Scratch 1x, but the developers got rid of it in 2x.

Why not re-implement it? Sometimes bright white can be straining to the eyes, hence need for an option to enable a dark mode.

White mode is really hard on the eyes…
I completely agree with this discussion.

But if dark mode was implemented how would the Scratch Team make sure black things don't become hard to see in the vector editor?

Just don't make the costume editor black
If they're willing to go through the extra mile, they can add a button on the bottom right that switches the costume editor between black and white like TurboWarp
