How about being able to change the font and color of different parts of the text field within a costume? Also, there should be a block (or multiple blocks) like this:
It would let you change the text of the selected costume.

Re: Text within sprites
What if a text box doesn't exist in that costume yet?

Then the block won't be available.
That doesn't make sense. You mean it wouldn't work?

It would create a text layer with the defaults: in the center with Helvetica Bold (24pt) as the font

Sounds like something that could help my calculator even more. (See your costume groups suggestion) I definitly support.
