The color scheme! It burrrrnns! 
Having bright (clashing) boxes for a script editor isn't exactly the most popular idea. Just keep the original color scheme (without options for changing it), and Slash's popularity might go up.

You have some great blocks there, however many of them aren't needed and just take up space. You should make a list of custom blocks where users can select which ones to add into the block selector (or whatever it's called). Also, change the < () is within () of () > block to < () is between () and () >, and change [ [] run] to [tell [] to].

Most of the reporter blocks you added have the check box next to them for displaying them in the stage. The check boxes not needed, and just take up space, so I suggest you remove them.

I understand why you added the BYOB blocks and block editor, but that's going too far with stealing blocks. You should find your own way of making a block editor/first class blocks. And if you do, could you also add a way of making squeak code blocks?

There are some images in Slash which really need fixing up. The 'Squeak' and 'More'  buttons have a white border around them, and look odd when selected. The color for 'Squeak' blocks really strains your eyes, you should make it darker. The color of the 'More' button doesn't match the 'More' blocks. The scroll bars and dialogs look really low resolution, it would be much better if you left it as the original. Also, remove the white border around the main sprite, and try to make it higher resolution.

And one more thing: The new block type doesn't look so great either. Change it to something like straight sides or jagged edges.

If you made these changes, than Slash would be one of my most recommended mods. 

By the way, what computer to you have? Judging by the graphics and cursors, you must have an old computer. If this is the case, then I suggest looking at your mod on a computer with better graphics.

1. I agree.
2. Umm... if that's true, I do agree.

3. I didn't take a close enough look for the blocks.

4. They are automatically made by Squeak and cannot be changed.

5. I agree.

6. I never looked at those buttons quick enough. And, I never diven into Squeak blocks, and pretty much. However, the 'More' blocks are coloured by Squeak code, and the 'More' button is coloured by ScratchSkin, with the Control images instead of their own.

7. Give me a screenshot, I want to see this "new" block type.

8. I agree.

Rating: 5/12-13. Pretty good with a few things I would have agreed on if I seen them.

One thing I noticed that you did is that you fixed the "Squeak's memory is getting low" error, which I don't know of any other mod that has that fixed.    I don't hate it, I just think that you didn't add the finishing touches to make it more professional before you released it.

Really? I actually didn't mean to fix it. Either it was fixed in BYOB, or I unintentionally fixed it by changing the color scheme or something.

Also, how can I make it more professional?

This. Part of my "2-bit too high" rating for Slash: 5/10.

Work better on the themes, the grey border doesn't look good.

I can't download it. 

you can change "about Scratch" to "about (yourMod)" by going to scratch-ui panes scratchFrameMorph menu/buttonActions help menu and change "about scratch" to "about (your mod Name)" then go to About scratch and copy that and paste it under menu/buttonsActions then change it to what u want hope it helps 

i dont hate it, its pretty awesome 

Hey, to hack the hack:
Shift-click the cats head in the logo.
"turn fill screen off"

BYOB belongs to someone else. Other than that no brand new features are in it.

Scratch belongs to someone else too.    But yeah, I bet if you worked hard enough, you could make your own and feel more proud about it. 

Yup. And also I would enjoy a mod for once that wasn't made by a Squeak noob.
