Small presentation mode-like thing?
Is there a way to play your Scratch game when it's small, but you can drag stuff like in presentation mode. When I'm playing my game in edit mode and I click something, it just drags with my mouse, and I don't want it to do that. Sure it doesn't in presentation mode, but presentation mode is too big and makes the pictures pixelated. When I upload my game to the website, it's like a small presentation mode, but projects on the website tend to glitch and lag a little. Is there any way at all to run your Scratch project in like a small presentation mode?

If youre a Macintosh user, you can scale that wee (don't laugh, I'm scottish) corner handle at the bottom right. Watch though, sometimes it goofs up.
There are 0011 types of people, those that can count in binary and those that can't.

Not that I know of, sorry.

There's a - terribly kludgy - way: before switching to presentation mode change your screen resolution to something smaller than 1024 x 768 
this will prevent presentation mode to double the size of the stage and the sprites. However, it will also cause the Scratch window to be only partially displayed in edit mode, so it's not really what you want...

What I do is create huge pictures, then size them down. That makes 'em look god.
