Oh well. I'll try SuperDoggy's userscript for the mean time, or make my own.
I don't even know how userscripts work.

They're scripts (written in javascript / jquery) that get run every time you load a page. Just download Greasemonkey and click new script, then paste the script I wrote in there and you never have to see the about page or the short search bar again! (except for a brief quarter-second flash as the page loads, but that's nothing)

hi there fella

monstermash3

I support for just a longer search bar.

(Swallowed by an evil kumquat who was just taking a walk in the neighborhood of evil kumquats when they saw a garage sale where they bought a plate which they used to eat but they discovered that it leaked and they went to get their money back but the sale was over so they went in the house but the door was locked so they got their key but it didn't fit so they went home to use the key on the right door which was their own door and then they decided to swallow a signature for no reason.)

You can use tampermonkey instead. I have the userscript.
My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Chrome 43.0.2357.134, Flash 18.0 (release 0)

when [chromometer altimeter v] = [5th length v] and [7th length v] with a [gap v] of (17) ::events hat
forge [chromometer v] altimeter until < (speed) = (velocity)> ::control cstart
	switch places with (759 v) altimeters with value of (speed) ::looks
	control [altimeter 1 v] at time (10):(17):(58) ::control
end
initialize sequence (24) so [object 3 v] moves to x (156) y (231) ::control
reveal [final answer v] and stop running this script ::events cap

I agree, the search tab is fine, it shouldn't upset any one, people just need to get used to it

I made a few bookmarklets (still making more!) (including how to enlarge the search bar). Just go here.

I also think that the about tab should only be visible to people who are not logged in.

So you want the search to be smaller?!?!?
SMALLER?
SMALLER?!
SMALLER?!
Check out other websites and they're huge. So we want Scratch's search bar the size like the internet should in the 1990s?
(P.S I'm sorry to inform you, but it'll get bigger instead)
(I apologies if your using another language for browsing Scratch)

Drag the link to the bookmark bar. Done.

But apparently you need to click the button ALL the time! :O

…And the only reason I use incognito is I'm scared of my dad accessing my browser history. He actually did it twice when I was younger. I was terrified. As a result, it's kind of a habit to avoid him finding any traces of my internet life. Although usually I'm fast enough to close out of the tab now.

just make the search bar longer.

Scratchter03

I say just to lengthen the search bar, as the “about” tab is an easier way to access the “About” page.

Even if most people won't use it, it's convenient for people looking for what Scratch is all about (like parents and educators).

So the kumquat army is taking over Scratch, eh? Well, there is a prophecy…

There is one who was chosen by the Scratch Team…

I don't know either my hotbar thing is bugged or I'm just getting illusions xD
The search bar on my hotbar has A LOT of space to grow in!

It brings me to the idea to be able to customise the hotbar if they wanted I guess

I'm supporting the lengthen the search bar!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE UNDERTALE AND MINECRAFT! LOVE IT TO BITS! welp, thats all i can say, your average, not-so-evil kumquat out!

If you just want the search bar longer then this:

$("#topnav form.search input").css("width", "150px");

should do it.
