[PLEASE DO NOT PROTEST THE PURPLE] An option in account settings to change the site's theme and navigation bar colour

ProfessorThickhead

And I would like to stress one more time that it is not a “simple fix,” it's quite complicated to pick a website theme color and use it for all of the accent colors. They would have to change the whole <style> format for everything.

when I receive [karaoke time v]
if <you like (the way [you v] look that much::operators)::sensing> then
maybe [you] should go and{
love yourself::sound
}::control
end

Make another song in [scratchblocks] and send it to me ;)

Plus pretty sure they'd have to use a cookie just to save what theme you were on.

Of course it wouldn't be a simple fix, the ST would have to take their time on it, but it would be a massive improvement. Not to mention, @ceebee's original forum announcement suggested that more color options may come in the future, so they may very well be working on this already.

This reminds me of the whole Thanos Cat debacle from the ye olde days of 2019.

Did anyone on the Scratch Team bother to try a dark blue?

Well that does look good, but they could’ve also changed the sites whites to some light and dark shades of grey and a lil navy blue in the links, show me an image with THAT example.

They didn’t, but since the Scratch Wiki nav bar is purple, then I guess they went with dark purple instead.

It would be great, I agree completely. For now, an option to switch between blue and purple would do, and later on the st should add the rest- just so we don't have to wait for another major update.

I rarely follow forum threads so if you need to tell me something, tell me on my profile.

Dear Scratch Team, could you please add a feature where you can switch the website color back to blue?
Please do it, because my eyes really hurt from the purple change. Thank you for taking my comment into consideration!

This is a wonderful idea!
Forbidden-To-Mention things already have the option to change nav bar / site colors, and it'd be lovely to have it on the main site. I've never cared enough myself, but with this new update, it'd likely make everyone who dislikes the purple a little bit happier. That and I know some have been requesting dark mode for ages!
We also have to remember that some people don't have access to Forbidden-To-Mention things, due to school computer settings… Or those who don't use Chrome (where extensions are found) at all! I used Microsoft Edge for a bit and they don't have extensions, to my memory.
I'm personally into the new color scheme. It makes it more accessible to color blind people, and I'm here for it. But we also don't want a (half) repeat of the 3.0 Studio update. I don't think it's going to get to that level, but prevent the fire before it blows up, if y'know what I mean. Or don't. I don't know and I don't care what happens in the slightest-

I mainly was in the Ace Attorney forum, writing informal essays about why a character needs some therapy. Or perhaps giving my support for an idea in the Suggestions forum. And outside of the forums, I animated stuff or did a cover of a song with a friend. I'm not active here anymore, but do feel free to say hi if I do decide to show my cute avatar again.

This is unusual… The color pallete is purple. and the editor changed. The desktop app & the mobile app might update to this format too. So be on the lookout.

(I didint quit scratch, I'm just busy with my life right now.)

Updated: 6/28/2023 8:51PM

The 2.0 pages also changed to purple. (I started scratch in late 2020 and it didn't look like this.)

I understand the color update was made so people with some eye problem would enjoy this. And maybe the people with eye problems DO like the update - I don't know any people with eye problems - but the new update hurts my eyes (and the eyes of about 5 other people whose comments I saw). All of this bright purple and bright orange and bright white looks awful, and after I look at it for a while I start feeling sick.
I think there should be an option in the settings to change purple back to blue. Like, when you visit the website for the first time, it's purple, but there's a note saying you can change it to blue and showing how it would look, and you can choose if you want to leave the purple color or change it to blue. And afterwards you can change blue to purple (or purple to blue) again in the settings.
About the comments such as “the moderators worked hard on this update, respect their work”: I understand the moderators did work hard. But thinking so does not make the color update prettier - or less eye-hurting - or easy to read. Such comments remind me of a book I read once. It was about a girl who was friends with some fairies; the fairies lived in the girl's dolls' house. Some mean girl from the main character's school saw the dolls' house and said she didn't like it - and then she stole the dolls' house and re-decorated it. Earlier the house was very pretty, decorated with flowers and petals and tiny pillows, and she made it awful. Well, and try to imagine that after re-decorating she'd say “I worked really hard on this, and so you must not change this back - who cares it looks awful and dirty? I like it so.” But it was the main character's dolls' house. And this website is to be used not only by colorblind people but also by others. It is unfair that colorblind people will enjoy it and others will not. In Ukranian schools, children learn coding on this website. And as many people have complained the color update hurts their eyes, I guess it will hurt the eyes of many Ukranian children, too. Would YOU like to spend 6 years learning to code projects on a website that hurts your eyes? So I think the moderators should add the option to change purple to blue.
(If something in this comment makes you feel uncomfortable, please don't report this but tell me instead. I did not mean to write something that makes people feel uncomfortable. Also, I might've spelled something wrong - I am from Ukraine and so my English may be bad - I hope you understand what I was trying to say.)

I agree, the purple is getting bad for non-colorblind scratchers

I get occasional claustrophobia in places like lifts and attics. I have Keratoconus and hyperopia which i found out is a fancy word for farsightedness which makes it kind hard to use smaller screens like my phone. On my computer i use the extensions and its fine but the purple colour seems worse. It triggers a feeling similar to what i feel when i get claustrophobic and makes it hard to use the site on my phone for long periods of time before i get a headache. I'd love some way of switching it back to blue.

I'm hosting Country Clash Minecraft, a minecraft server where you can join or create a nation, trade, engage in politics, go to war and more!
CCMC is a Country Clash RP spinoff. It is currently in a trial period where CCRP admins will observe the server and see whether or not it should continue.
CCMC uses a custom map with volcanoes, nether and end islands, winding rivers and more!
CCMC will start within the next two days or so. It has a 10 player limit at any time. Anyone can join, as long as you have a copy of Minecraft Java Edition or Minecraft Bedrock Edition
