Support - I love having a dark mode on pretty much every program and website I use (with a few exceptions), so I think it'd be a good aesthetic choice as well as a good physical choice since dark mode would help your eyes rest a bit.

True, true. I also use dark mode on all the websites I can, pretty much. And it would help you mentally and physically, and it is a great aesthetic choice.

I wouldn't say about battery, but the eye part is true.

Yes, absolutely has my full support. I'm writing this quite late and the stark white is making my eyes tired…
Actually, dark mode would save battery– and here's some evidence. https://www.howtogeek.com/407860/heres-when-a-dark-theme-can-save-battery-power/
* If you have a device with an OLED screen (OLED screens are only widely available on phones)

Good point, good point, you got me there. But lots of Scratchers are mobile users, as well!

But, not all of them would have OLED screens. They're really only available on newer mobile devices.
And there are a few computer monitors, laptops and TVs with OLED screens, but they are really expensive and have lower reliability than standard LED screens.
Also the reason why battery saving with dark screens only works with OLED is because in an LED screen, the backlight is turned on for all of the pixels all of the time, while an OLED screen only needs the backlight on for the pixels that are being used (not black), hence why the blacks on an OLED screen are truly black - because nothing on that portion of the screen is turned on.

Yes, but please be constructive in what you say, rather than saying “Support” or “#WeWantDarkMode” or anything like that.

I don't use Scratch all that much. I only hop on the forums and stuff. I make stuff on Unity and 3D model now.

“All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR * LEMONS! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give CAVE JOHNSON lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! With the LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

This would be really good and make scratch look sleeker it may also make scratch look less childish.
It would also be good as if you are making a project for a long time then your eyes wouldnt hurt.

i think it would be best to add it

Hello. I used to use scratch to make games but now I try to make interesting stuff like 3D, Mode 7, Raycasting etc.

I'm sure many scratchers use scratch late into the night working on projects so dark mode would be useful for a lot of people

I would really like dark mode, because I often use scratch at night. it would be easier on my eyes.

Yea @FastFunnyz, it would be cool for that. I use it anytime of the day, and it would be better. I agree.
