It would be great to have a larger canvas size. I assume that this will impact some fill / collision detect operations, but it might be nice for higher powered computers.

I think this has been suggested many many times and generally the answer is no. it'd be great to have, but the multiple performance hits, bugs, huge amount of work required to redo many features, etc make it not worth it.

I think there is enough space and you can already make the canvas bigger in the editor.

Just click the little arrow in the right corner of the editor (project area) and it'll make the project area smaller, making the script area/paint area bigger. Or you can click Edit at the top of the editor and select Small Stage Layout.

Hope this helped

This doesn't make the canvas bigger, it just moves it over a bit. Just fyi.

Instead of just extending a window, why not allow having more windows? For prompts and things.

That isn't the best idea either, because it would get very complicated very fast.

I know, but it does make it slightly bigger because there's less of the project area

yess yess yess that would be really great

yo scratch people plz change the paint box in scratch im working on a game and i canot continue

i personally think it would be good if in scratch when you click “paint new costume” it shows a box and gives the menu thing where you can type in the canvas size for example 470x350 or 200x200 or whatever

Necroposting is fine on the suggestions forums.

It can be very good. But I think, it's not going to happen. Instead, I do my games little, and when you enter fullscreen, they became enough size.

(Sorry for my excellent (!) English.)

I've said this many times before (I think), the canvas size is a core feature of Scratch and it would require a massive site overhaul to be changed since the entire design relies on it. I have a feeling that the Scratch Team is opposed to having “project settings” considering that most suggestions that involve such an idea never get implemented (not implying that suggestions have a good record of getting implemented either way but you know what I mean). No support

plz make the work area bigger i am running out of room!

I think we should be able to zoom out alot. it would help with making maps and stuff, or animations

I say zoom out.
