This looks good. I love the new project viewer, although, I was slightly disappointed at the editor. ESPECIALLY the green flag graphic. I also don't like the dark orange color of the control blocks.

And what does "Triggers" do? If it is just a new version of broadcasts, I think those should stay in control, maybe a subcategory. (Similar to motor blocks in motion). I like the green flag graphic in the forum blocks better than the sloppy-looking new version.

Heh, I noticed the green flag change too. It looks a bit funny. Doesn't bother me too much though. I think the control blocks were made more darker since the trigger blocks category was added (which is yellow). But I agree, I'm not sure if a whole new category is entirely needed for hat blocks/broadcasts (assuming that's what it is for).

Wow, everyone is noticing all kinds of little details that I didn't notice until y'all pointed them out.  Must come from years of Where's Waldo or something.

Speaking of games, the very first thing I noticed was the star and the heart, and my first thought was "where's the dollar sign?"

I vote for "clipboard" only because "backpack" will confuse anyone who's used Microworlds.  Or maybe "My library"?

About stage on right vs. growing the window:  Someone who grows the window might want a bigger stage, rather than a bigger scripting area, so you'll have to move something to the right sometimes.  (I don't have an opinion about where to put the stage; I just don't quite understand the argument about it moving.)

I want zebra coloring!

looks really awesome 

I am concerned about the gray Looks blocks.

But how does the backpack work? Is it like, where you can save a script / sprite / sound from a project, and when you make a new project, it's still saved, so you can use it in a new project? 

Yep, and you can also drag stuff from other Scratcher's projects into it, and then use those bits in your projects.

Cool 

Also, what is the spiral icon?

Finally, another 2.0 progress report.

To clarify, "My Blocks" is a collection of scripts/blocks you design based on what you use a lot?

Also, do the blocks in "my blocks" stay throughout different projects, or do they have a different set per project?

Ewwww no.

I like those. Especially Toolbox 

Those aren't bad ideas, but the idea is that it is an area where you put scripts/sprites/sounds, and will always show in the project editor. It's not a set of tools such as cutting, stamping or deleting for you to use, so "workbench" or "toolbox" don't really seem to fit in my opinion.

But you've sort of gotta imagine the sprites are the tools, and the toolbox is, well, the toolbox    I see your point though.

That sounds more like something you'd expect to find in the paint editor though 

how about scripts editor?
