Multiple Text In Paint Editor!

Say you are making a book. Or a game. And you're making the title screen in Paint Editor. Ever notice you can only have one text "box"? Well, say you want the title of the game/book at the top and the author name at the bottom. And you want the title to be bigger than the author name and in a different font, and/or even color.

Well, you can't. Scratch won't let you, if you're typing it all in text, on one background/costume. There's only one main font or color that can be used for the text in that specific background/costume.

How can ST fix this? Allow multiple text "boxes" in the Paint Editor. My idea is it should sort of be like Text Boxes in Microsoft Word. You can make as many text boxes as you want on one page, and click on a certain text box to edit it. It should be like that in Scratch's Paint Editor.

This would make work a whole lot easier, especially for me. I usually walk into the obstacle of only having a singular text box in the Paint Editor. I'd rather not waste a couple KB's making a sprite just for the author name.

What do you guys think?

Re: Multiple Text In Paint Editor!

Total support. For now you can export the costume, and your text counts as drawings, so you can type more, but support.


Who would win, SOPA or PIPA?
