Customizable Profile Wallpaper!
I am on this side - just changing follow button colour and borders would be great but I can see the other things become nuisanceok, that wasn't what i meant, what i meant was that you could do stuff like change bg color and font, there would only be one thing that might lag the page, which would be an optional little multiplayer game, and there would be a small library of tutorial videos, which would guide you through scratch 3.0, the only flashy gif would be the profile pic, and there would be no sounds on the game. no support i dont want this turning into deviantart where every page takes half an hour to load and assaults my senses with terrible music and way too many flashy gifs
i think youre missing my point but ok
the level of customization we have right now is fine, you can change the featured project, make pretty designs with studio thumbnails, thats all you need imo
i dont want neon colored backdrops that hurt your eyes, i dont want bios to be in terrible customized fonts like comic sans and marker, i dont want an embedded game that you can play on the profile page because all of thats going to be overstimulating and annoying and uncomfortable to look at.
maybe im just getting boring but right now i think this is the last thing scratch needs

I agree. Support for every add-on you asked for! I don't know why it's ridiculous that you can't customize your profile. I don't see why this should be hated.
Profiles look boring and bland, so I think it's necessary to customize them so that we can feel more comfortable. Heck I don't want to keep living with white or blue.

This is cool too! What I think would be cool is if you could play the featured project from the profile page.

No support. The problem is that my (old) computer already struggles to load profile pages because of how image-heavy they are, and anything that increases this lag is gonna be really annoying. Also, I'm a big fan of the clean look of the Scratch website and I don't want to lose this.
Scratch is meant to make coding free and accessible to anyone. So it rather defeats the point if you need to buy a high-end device and a very fast internet connection to actually use the website.

Now all you can do that with is you icon or signature.
And your projects, and your studios, and your favourites, and your ‘About Me’ section, and your comments…

I know I supported before on my old account however I have to give semi-support now due to the potential for images that are inappropriate or hard to see. I'd support a set of scratch team approved colour schemes or patterns to select from though.

Are you just quoting to say you agree with me?

Semi-Support, I want customization but not TOO much that it makes it hard to see / hard to navigate. I don't customize things too much so I think just a banner would do

If it was something like the old youtube channel customizer, maybe with a few font settings (Arial, Ubuntu, etc) and a backdrop, I would say it would be ok, just as long as it has an option to turn it off site-wide.

That seems like a good idea! An option to locally disable/enable customized profiles! Maybe the option would be in the account settings?

I like the sound of that! It would be easy to access from account settings since it is technically a certain setting for a part of an account.Maybe the option would be in the account settings?

E.G.:Of course, there'd be an “Off” option, too. Seem good?

Exactly! And, if you don't have an account or you're logged out, the setting will be on the top banner:I like the sound of that!

I'd support for a system like this, that would allow customisation while still keeping the site accessible.Exactly!

Seems interesting and somewhat practical, id support it.
Though would you be able to upload your own images or chose form a library of preset images?

No support all the way it makes the screen hard to follow and scratch is not make for social media, it is a place to share code (like Github)
