New Variable Mode!
Variables Have The Large Readout, Normal Readout And Slider Readout.
-The Score Readout-
The Score Readout Would Act As An In Built Score Counter Showing Big White Numbers.
Useful Features
• Customisable Size Through Code

Extra Features[Not Needed]
• Customisable Colors Through Code
Attention!
A Lot Of Scratchers Think This Is A Duplicate Topic, It Is Not. The Customisation Blocks Are Not The Main Suggestion! The Main Suggestion Is A New Readout, Similar To The Large Readout. This Announcement Will Be Removed Once The Duplicate Accusations Stop.

just so you know, you can do ::variable behind the blocks to make them the correct color (atleast i think it was variable, might be another keyword)
How exactly would the score readout differ from the large readout? And how would it work if the variable aint a number?

It Would Not Have An Orange Background Or Thin Text. just so you know, you can do ::variable behind the blocks to make them the correct color (atleast i think it was variable, might be another keyword)

It Would Display The Variable Even If It's Not A Number.

Wouldn't “No background” or “Text only” be a more descriptive name? “Score Readout” sounds like itd have a white background with black text and look like those score cards in sports matchs.It Would Not Have An Orange Background Or Thin Text. just so you know, you can do ::variable behind the blocks to make them the correct color (atleast i think it was variable, might be another keyword)

Close, but make sure to add an s at the end like this: just so you know, you can do ::variable behind the blocks to make them the correct color (atleast i think it was variable, might be another keyword)

block ::variables

Full support! There is a way to do this without blocks but it’s really complex and after all, scratch is meant to be easy to use for everyone. 1000% support! This would also help me alot cuz I need this for some projects, I’m sure many other people do too

The variable size is something I wanted to suggest but, just was too lazy to do it. Guess I'm too late to do it now. But it's a good idea. The color one would be pretty nice too! The font seems, kinda nice. Just thought if they were to add a font, they would a fonts for text, and that hasn't happened.
But. support!
But. support!

For the sizes part, dupe
So…womp womp.
Above is a dupe for the color part, just too lazy to do it myself.
But, the font may be nice?
(you may have to edit the op now)
