Loading Animations
Who gets bored of the same old default loading bar when a project is loading? I know I do. That's why we should be able to make our own loading animation. It would default to the original loading bar, but there could be a section near the sprites selection that lets you create a loading bar. It will have to be a very small size (so that it doesn't have to load the loading bar 
) but if it was small enough, it should be able to play while the project is loading. What do you think?

I pretty much have to agree with this.

You can make one by making a skinny rectangle and a sprite the same height of the rectangle and scripting it like this:
when gf clicked clear pen up repeat (360) stamp change x by (pick random (1) to (2)) end
But the project doesn't actually load, it just pretends to load. I mean when the whole project is actually loading, and instead of the blue bar we could make our own.

But custom loading bars would be better than normal ones.

Re: Loading Animations
Maybe a loading bar from a database on the scratch site could be chosen at random based off the tags of the project? So if like one of the tags was pokemon the loading bar might be a pikachu walking along, or if one of the tags was colours then it could flash different colours.
