Make the website black

i_eat_coffee

How about for halloween the website could be simply black with a torch. The torch lights up a circle of around 800 pixels, and the torch is… the cursor, but the cursor is replaced with a torch.
The color black is superior.
Black is so good that it’s not even a color. It’s the absence of colors. Because colors are bad and black is the best thing ever.

Why?
I am giving out genuine suggestions.

Sounds like the caveman April Fools thing.
And don’t express your opinion like that, i don’t think black is superior at all-

'“Art theft” and our remixing policy' (why people are allowed to recolour your OCs with credit)
'Shops, Points, and Pretend Currency Systems' (why you technically aren't allowed to use follows as a prize in contests)

General rules:
You are not allowed to link to 13+/16+ social media platforms (such as Discord or X), as Scratch is for everyone. You are allowed to link to your YouTube and Soundcloud accounts, as long as the accounts (along with the content that has been shared on those accounts) follow the Community Guidelines. If you see a post or project that has a link to, for example, a Discord channel or a certain art website beginning with the letter ‘M’, report the post (or project), and a moderator will review your report.

I argue that white is the best color, it's the combination of every color at the highest limit and pushes beyond every color in existence which just makes me more certain that it is the best color. Everything should be white because it's highest limit allows it to contrast against all types of colors at all types of limit, the contrast between the uniqueness of white and all other colors allows it to stand out, it is the true color meanwhile black is the void of all colors pushing it's limit down making it worse then any other color and making it blend in so it doesn't contrast that well.

edit2: I don't think this would be an easter egg or fun feature. More of a nuisance and a headache don't forget the cherry atop with the added dessert of: how are people gonna see their code in the editor? Also, don't forget the flavor: There is no milk bucket (reference) to get rid of the side affects, it needs to be waited through the duration.

In 2022, they added “Prehistoric Mode”, which was basically this except only for the editor.

Fun Fact: This is good for colorblind people as it is the most easiest to distinguish between shades of black for them as every color is turned into shades of black for them.

Can you change the name of the topic? It’s quite misleading since it sounds like you’re suggesting to make everything on the website just black, however you’re basically suggesting to have prehistoric mode on the rest of the website. Also, in all THREE suggestions you’ve made about the colour black you always say a good reason to implement the feature is because “the colour black is the best colour” which is just…. No.

Anyways, this could be fun for Halloween, but it should be toggleable since what if you were trying to use the forums and could only see a small portion of a post at a time? Semi-support.

There was something like this with AFD 2022, which had a Prehistoric mode in the editor. Also this could be annoying, so if this is actually implemented, it should at least be toggleable just so people can tell what is happening on the website, like how the editor one was.

Well, the black and white colorblindness is actually the rarest one, so this could harm everyone else if they didn’t want it. Also, they mean as in a prehistoric mode outside of the editor, the title is misleading.

I do not support this suggestion at all of course, I was just giving a fun fact there but for everyone else it is harmful actually as complete darkness to the eyes for too long can damage it's ability to see well. (I am pretty sure)

No support. Scratch in recent years have been more about BLM, but this is just too far.

Yea though I don’t think it would be helpful since I believe the one where you only see in greyscale is the rarest, so it could harm people who aren’t that type.

A Halloween themed website might be a bit scary to some Scratchers. And confusing to Scratchers that don't have a culture of Halloween.
