So there’s an exploit going around where people can make sprites go outside of the project player or completely change the entire look of the scratch project viewer and honestly this would be really cool if it was turned into a vanilla feature with limitations
limitations:
must use vanilla scratch blocks for sprites outside of the editor
UI is locked to font, color, shape, size, and image
UI is not controlled by code but a panel that allows you to edit the things
sprites cannot cover important buttons like the report button
sprites cannot be used as detectors for buttons outside of the project
do not put it in the membership!

Support
Might i add dont make it part of the membership

Do you have any limitations in mind, such as how many sprites can be moved outside the project player?

Where sprites can be placed is my limitation
Cannot cover up important buttons (like the Home Screen button, report button, etc)
Must still allow users to navigate the project page without issues

Regarding the project UI color exploit, do you think there should be a way to prevent flashing colors?

I think just only allowing it to be one solid color or cannot be allowed to be changed within a 10 second cooldown would be a possible solution

What would be the purpose of this feature?

To give projects more personality outside of the main project player so you can feel more immersed (is that the right word?) along with more customization options

Do you have any additional customization options in mind, beyond viewable off-stage sprites and UI color mutability?

SUPPORT!
However some parts of the project should have no way to change (AKA the report button) since using this to remove the report button is mainly why ST is trying to patch this (unfortunately)

Also PLEASE don't add it to the membership (as for why I'm saying this, someone else suggested that on an ST member's pf comments)

Possibly font selector for the title and being able to edit the comment bubbles?

don’t worry, if this gets added to scratch membership, I will reopen ascrmm /sarc
—
usually most detectors use costumes and place the shape in the area where the button is rather than a set coordinate
—
if it’s a suggestion for sprites outside the editor with coordinates then maybe I could have some use
like a better scroll thingy or whatever else

They could just use inline CSS on the report button, as much as people seem to hate inline CSS

sprites can go outside the project player? that just makes a simpler heart/fav reporter by placing sprites on them

meh support

I don't think they are real sprites

Support. Pretty cool customization thing.

CSS changes look but has limited capability to make things interactive. HTML and Javascript is already unchangaable so it wouldn't make it a like/fav reporter

Support, this could be pretty cool, as long as it can't be used to trap people on the project (like putting a sprite onto the home page so you can't go to the home page). And if it isn't membership only…

There is a suggestion for that: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/780944
