I don't know if you still need this, but for a dropdown box, go to blah di blah,
<explanation>whoa!! thanks a lot.
i didn't need half of that, but it was a good reminder. for stuff other than that kind of dropdown box i think you would have to edit the stuffNames, not the uncoloredBlahMorph.
thanks again!
No problem!

Re: Cool custom blocks in Scratch
How would you get something where users can add options to the drop-down menu, like in
[blocks]
<broadcast[ whatever ]>
[/blocks]

you make a special bit of code for it. first use zorbak's tutorial to add a letter with menu, then edit the somethingNames (replace something as in his tutorial) and make it so that it can vary (instead of reporting a fixed value report whatever you want to report. i would need to know more to give you a more detailed explaination)

Re: Cool custom blocks in Scratch
The tutorial (by nXIII):
Anyway, it turns out that all you have to do is go to
Scratch-UI-Panes -> ScratchFrameMorph -> --all-- -> updateProjectName
and change the two strings.
The one that says '- Scratch' is the one that is stuck on the end of a project name when the project has a name. The one that says 'Scratch ', Version is the one that is displayed when the project doesn't have a name.
You can now reach me on Twitter @johnnydean1_

I think I'll sort of copy how variables works...

Can these custom blocks be uploaded in projects?
Also, can you show me how to create the (sprite name) block?
(sprite name) block:
Add this to Scratch-Objects > ScratchSpriteMorph (click 'class' at this point) > BlockSpecs > BlockSpecs:
Code:
('sprite name' #r #spriteName)Click 'instance' then sensing ops > hideQuestion.
Replace hideQuestion with spriteName and self with objName.
Right-click and click 'accept'.

Re: Cool custom blocks in Scratch
Custom blocks, other than some that used to be obsolete, do not work on the site or when downloaded by someone that doesn't have the exact block. XO, I think, is pretty much the same as something that doesn't say XO beside it, but it's specifically for a certain kind of laptop. I think.

that's way too long when you can simply make a blockSpec with
('sprite name' #r #objName)

I still like the comment block.
But I think that others would rather that you just release it.
Also, I've had some trouble, and I can't figure out how to make permanent changes to the paint editor.

Er... yes, but you can't open the world menu if fillScreen is off and I *accidentally* misplaced the collapse method... (just kidding, Panther has a separate source image with a dev menu, which is distributed with the other image and no one seems to notice)
anyway scratch and its mods have to be OPEN-SOURCE!

Re: Cool custom blocks in Scratch
Bingo is my favourite mod because panther has to many cool but useless features. Bingo has just what I want!

Go to the Elements and build "[[Preferences] enable programmer facilities]" and then right-click it and click "evaluate" or something.
