Why has the graphic quality of Scratch games fallen so much?
Take a look at the background of a project I did about a year ago, say Vista Sound Collection:

Now compare it with a modern project of mine, say Pong 9100:

How come with newer projects, the quality of the colors and graphics have gone down so much? Am I doing something different, or have newer Scratch versions just gone down?

Ooh, maybe.
It's true. I do love Scratch.

Nope, I (almost) never compress projects.

Yeah, but when I open any rather large Scratch project I've been working on from my hard drive, I find that gradients are really simplified, which is disturbing and annoying.

jamie and fullmoon:
There is a known bug in the current Scratch release (v.1.2.1) regarding automatic image compression which cannot be avoided by manually unmarking the image compression checkbox. John described the bug in this thread:
http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=14308#p14308
He also suggests to use v 1.1 to upload any projects which really rely on accurate gradients (I have followed his advice myself with a project that needed precise color detection).

I noticed that! Even when I unchecked the box!
