An idea I had a while ago...

You know little menu bar at the top with home, projects, galleries, etc?

What if the buttons were made to look like scripts?
Home could be a control block,
Projects a looks block,
Galleries a motion block,
Et cetera.

Lol  big_smile

But I've been on Scratch for 2 years now, and I won't be able to live through it if they changed the design somehow. I'm in love with it.  smile

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: An idea I had a while ago...

Interesting, interesting... I suppose if one were to go a step further, the whole website could be redesigned to have a color scheme like the SCRATCH interface (although maybe that might be too much, I kind of like the simple design of the website right now  tongue )

Re: An idea I had a while ago...

Even though it would look cool, i think it would be hard to move around the site, and people may get confused if they start seeing a different design.

I've had this design for over a year and wouldn't change it  smile

Re: An idea I had a while ago...

I like the idea...
Maybe there could be a choice option, to choose the original design, and the new Scratch brick one.

Re: An idea I had a while ago...

I think it's a very good and creative idea, but would there be instructions on what they mean? New users may have trouble understanding the buttons.

Cool idea, Maki-Tak! It might be a bit confusing, but it would be awesome!

I'd say if I knew, so why not ask the Scratch Team?

Veranda (bold). The blocks are written in size 10.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
