If it was added to the editor, I don't think it'd be hard to add it to the rest of the site, and it'd make little sense for a dark mode to be trapped to the editor.

I agree,
im guessing it wasn't that hard for scratch to change the purple banner but it may be different for dark mode since it'll most likely be in settings
BUT HOPEFULLY it'll all work out

It’s where many Scratchers (not me) spend most of their time.

make it so the header turns white when you enable dark mode, purple does not align properly with dark theme

I CAN TURN AN EVIL KUMQUAT INTO DUST WHICH DISAPPEARS IN UNDER 1 YOCTOSECOND, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE MY LIGHTNING EYES POWER AND MY ATOM DESTROYER!! and also that fire breathing power of course

But white is hurtful to the eyes; people who would switch to dark mode might want a break from the white.

Please note that I may sometimes make a mistake and give wrong information.

Can you please put this at/near the top of your signature and tell people that tag spam isn't allowed and it manipulates the algorithm, to start a chain and spread the word? - Thanks, @EDawg2011.

But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a chest I couldn't have seen before.

Not enough color contrast.

It only took six months…

No longer using the forums unless necessary.

Really, stop with the “support/no support” thing. I don't care if you give a reason. If you have a reason you don't need to add this to your post in the first place. Stop acting like your opinion makes a difference. It doesn't. Opinions were never the point. The point is whether or not it's a good suggestion. If you can give a good reason at why this is a good idea or point out a flaw, do it, but don't take sides.
This is not sarcasm.

It did? 6 months is a heck of a long time just for a color swap. how are they supposed to make additions to the site moving forward if the site is that hard to add on to?

Any proof that it exists?

Bringing this topic up.

Fun_Cupcake_i81: What, were you expecting not to see the utc - 12 thing again? THE UTC - 12 THIGN ALWAYS RETURNS. ALWAYS.
medians: I knew it would happen. I was the one who started it last year.
Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that

Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-
user1: That picture is from 2.0. Now he’s at my house and is my pet.
user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.

Other than the color of the header, what more is there to discuss on this suggestion?

I mean, this is helpful to people. Everybody likes it, all we need is the theme when it becomes dark mode. But what else?

For right now, not much. However, I'm sure that this topic can be revamped into a bug-reporting topic for when dark mode goes into a beta phase.

This is my signature. It is not a part of this post and it appears under every post I make.

Hey there, I'm sonic__fan. I just look for good suggestions to add to Scratch.

That seems like a good idea, maybe an archive? Like that, bridge cloud variable suggestion thing.

“They can literally get sued
——————————————————-
See also: US Government page on web accessibility
Scratch is based in the United States, which is subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). One requirement is that sites be accessible to users using assistive technologies (screen readers and similar things), low-vision, and colorblind users. I'm not going to pretend I know all the details, but if the colors don't contrast enough or would otherwise be hard for a colorblind or low-vision person to use, the site is out of compliance. If that's the case, then an affected user can sue the Scratch Team and would have a good chance of winning. I have seen plenty of real-world ADA-related lawsuits for websites, this isn't just a hypothetical risk, it's real.

I should also note that multiple people have told me that Scratch isn't a business and therefore wouldn't be subject to these rules. That is incorrect. For the purposes of ADA, ”business“ doesn't just mean ”for-profit corporation,“ it also includes nonprofits. Additionally, Scratch is ”open to the public“ (for ADA purposes anyway) since they offer a service that members of the public can use.”
This may not apply for dark mode. Just wanted to bring this up.

This applies for dark mode. For some people, it's hard to see bright lights.
