Stuff such as custom categories, or recoloring custom blocks would be very helpful to organize them, for example if you create a project where you have a ton of custom blocks and take too much time finding where they are, you could create categories such as “Save Code Blocks” or “3D Rendering Blocks”

Plus recoloring them would give some uniqueness to your code and also if someone remixes it then it will be much easier to find the right custom blocks using the different colors and categories they are split into.

Support because I’m making a big project and I need to organize my custom blocks.

There is a workaround though, I prefix every custom block with a category name like “Decoding” and use emojis for subcategories.

Bump

2nd bump

3rd bump

Support lol, this is actually useful because I want to customize my blocks but I can't and all of them are just pink XD

I thought I already posted here last night, but apparently not

4th bump

Support. This could be helpful for big projects and students being taught to code.

Support. I need more organization so my projects don't look like a big mess.

You can only bump once every 24 hours.

Anyways, for the actual suggestion, would there just be a color slider like the costumes, or would there be presets too?

I think it should be a color wheel or color slider

You used to kinda be able to recolor them, but it made all custom blocks that color, and didn't move it to a separate category.

this isn't much of a dupe, more like a re-envision with more ideas to make it user friendly

I mean, I was referring to the “recoloring” part as I thought you meant putting it in other categories or something lol (there was a topic for just recoloring them I believe but I have no idea where it is, so I can't really check)

no, more like sub categories in the my blocks category, that you can name and select colors for

Lol the more I code, the more I see how this is useful! I mean, do you think my “clean up” block fits in with all the other ones in this script?

why is there cat ears LOL and what are those colors why are the blocks huge
Also oh okay LOL, anddd purple/pink /= events/control :P it's a completely different color

By the way, here's a few mockups I made:

Mockup on non-vanilla scratch of colored custom blocks

Mockup on non-vanilla scratch of colored custom blocks WITH a “make a category” textbox.

Mockup of green blocks on non-vanilla scratch

Mockup on vanilla scratch of colored custom blocks


Mockup on vanilla scratch of colored custom blocks WITH a “make a category” text box.

Mockup on vanilla scratch of orange blocks.


what do you think?
