Aw, ok.

hehehe, you can zoom up to x1000 whereas it used to be limited to x400 or x500

Windows instructions are up! If you have a Mac or Linux: can you please get me instructions.
Also, the Raspberry Pi instructions may be out of date. Can someone check?

You can make a Whiskers shortcut on your desktop.

Edit: I'll post exactly what I did.

I think the installer can do that.

Here's exactly how to do it:

1. Right click on desktop, go new, shortcut.
   
2. Click browse and find Squeak.exe, hit OK and Next
   
3. Replace “Squeak” with “Whiskers” and hit Finish
   
4. Move the shortcut somewhere nice
   
5. Right click on it and hit Properties
   
6. You should be in the Shortcut tab, else just click on it
   
7. Click in the Target field and scroll to the end. Put a space, and then copy and paste the file path of Whiskers.image
   
8. Hit OK and you're done

That's great
Edit 2: I tried the installer, it definitely works well

@infinitytec: Can you please add
to the CSS rule for the code blocks? Also here are instructions for macOS:

Download the Whiskers image file, and download the Squeak VM for macOS from squeak.org and unzip it. If you like you can rename the app to Whiskers and drag it into your Applications folder.

Now right click on the app and select the option “Show Package Contents” and double click Contents and Resources. Look through the files and find the default image file. The name starts with “Squeak”, then the Squeak version number and “-32bit”.

Click on it, and then click again, to select the file's name. Copy the name and then you can click out of it. Now go back to the Whiskers image file and rename it to be called the same as the image file you found earlier.

Now drag the Whiskers image file into the Resources folder. You'll be asked what you want to do with the old one, and hit “Replace”.

Whiskers should now be properly set up. You should be able to double-click on the app to open Whiskers.

Is this open source? If so can you add the link to the OP.

Whoops. I'll do that right now!

Do you plan to make the menus look like Scratch 2.0 again?

I'll add that to my to-do list, but my old method for drawing it was very buggy and slow, so I'll have to redo it again.

Thanks. I'll finish making this look nice tomorrow!
Monospace is a good idea!

when backdrop switches to .backdrop[ v] :: hat events

There is an unnecessary period in this block.

Before I leave for the next week, does anybody know where I can find the source for the Pi GPIO extension for Scratch 2 from the raspberry pi? I want to see if I there's a solution that can allow Whiskers to load some extensions made for Scratch 2, but I need to check the source.

its in /usr/lib/scratch2/scratch_extensions/piGPIOExtension.js

Can you please STOP making fun of me?

Also, I wrote the block exactly how it it is on Whiskers, so there is no unnecessary mistake on my post.

Sorry man but NoMod-Programming explained before he was still working on the define hat, it's buggy and yeah. He got to draw an ellipse but that was slow.

He already responded to me. -_-

You noticed what I said was based on NoMod-Programming reply!?

I fixed it in the latest release.

Thanks! I'll see if I can do something about either a limited javascript interpreter or some kind of other way of loading scratch 2.0 extensions
