I find it extreamly annoying that when you put text in your costume or stage or whatever, you can only have ONE size of text and ONE font. When trying to make my mockup of what a customizable userpager would be, I found this very annoying.
So, to remedy this problem, I propose that we can create text boxes in the editor.

What do you think? smile

Interesting idea! How would this work? I think it's been suggested a lot before - making text is incredibly tedious.

Well, when you click the text button, the cursor (when in the drawing part of the screen) will look like it does when you select the button for making rectangles. then you can draw the box (much the same way you do the rectangles). When the box is compleated, the text (the way it does now) will show up in the box. You could also make the text box bigger and change the size. I don't think that there would have to be a way to create a border around it because you could just do that with the rectagle tool. (I have such great technical terms tongue ).

Hm... That makes sense. smile It would be great to make more than one font or size in a sprite.

Thank you smile I would put this in the Voting for Suggestions page, but I'm all out of votes tongue

Great idea! I definitely support. It's annoying because if I want to do it now, I have to first save the image externally, then open it again in Scratch, and then add more text.

I support! Can I make a mockup? And if I do, will you put it in your post?

Oh, darn. My mockup doesn't work, as it's impossible to make a pixel as small as the select tool.
