Custom project page colors/styles in ordinary scratch (plus more things)
I made a project page using a mashup of svg code from the project styler sprite and the one from banana invasion, but it's kinda messy so you either get normal page with bananas flying over the screen, a purple page, or both

Your project defies my theory about which transitions keep working for me in Chrome. I thought that the rule was that the transitions of the elements that also had transitions in Scratch's CSS. But your project can change the font of the entire page, and it can't apply the dark mode, even on the comment input (except if I pause Scratch in the DevTools right before it removes the transition costume; then it has dark mode while it's paused and the comment input stays dark after unpaused)(#61)Yes, you can change any element's font.
and can you make the thing change font?
To do this, I used this CSS in the SVG that applies the long transition:I also added this CSS to the SVG that applies the styles:*, * *, * * *, * * * * { transition: all 99009900s step-end !important; transition-behavior: allow-discrete !important; /* @nembence found this trick before me */ }*, * *, * * *, * * * * { font-family: "Comic Sans MS", "Papyrus", cursive, fantasy, serif; }
Another thing that I've noticed is that it loads the costumes of the #6 sprite first and goes towards the #1 sprite

I have successfully made a dark theme for scratch. Going to probably make a scratch 1.0 or 2.0 theme later

Here's an interesting technique for making CSS more consistent, found in the “banana invasion” comment section:since then I've found that if I only duplicate the transition costume and surround the styling costume with its copies, then it works even betterI duplicated the styling costume multiple times and then the transition costume multiple times, so that it's more likely that they end up loading in the correct orderThis trick heavily reduces the number of refreshes a viewer has to perform to get the CSS to load properly.
In my own tests, I found that having one functional “Trigger” costume and multiple near-identical “Styles” costumes will yield the best results.

Could you use your profile pic to change stuff?You can't use SVGs for profile pics (or project/studio thumbs).

Codubee (ST member) saw the banana invasion project by nembence which uses this method. Also what's wrong with them knowing? This doesn't go against any CG and I don't think it's against the ToS

I asked codubee about his thoughts about it, and he explained it as exploiting flaws of svg files and their security measures for uploading them, finishing by saying that “we're working on it”, so I'm not sure if this will stay a thing for long.Same could be said abt the following and remixing yourself glitch but that’s still works.

The reason they might be fixing it is probably related to the lag you can get after you go between certain loaded custom styled projects multiple times (such as seeing inside and out of a project), and the that you can hide things like the report and remix buttons.
Then again, animated thumbnails are still a thing, and they're technically an exploit, so maybe they might hold off on it but who knows.
I'd really like this to stay up because I grew up using a thing where a lot of people edited css/html on their profile/shop pages (Neopets), and I like being able to do that stuff here.

Maybe they can just add it as a feature in the next update? Just toned down a bit (obviously).

I'm hoping this turns out like the animated thumbnail glitch considering that's been around for a looooong time.
Or that it just never gets fixed since this is actually cool (and technically start getting you familiar with a coding language called CSS)
