share your creative scratch navbars
a really funny topic i guess

yes, that's right, there is art in everything, including that html5 panel at the top of the website that you click on to get to places. the art world will never be the same again, thanks to the booming new craze that is creative scratch navbars. so please, share your scratch navigation bars here! just make sure they follow the community guidelines, obviously.

feel free to share either the navbar you use on a normal basis or a silly one you've made as a joke just for the purposes of this topic!

here's the standard 3.0 one, just for the purposes of demonstration:

faq
q.) but why?
a.) because fun - minikiwigeek2 2022
q.) how do i change my navbar anyway?
a.) you can't, at least not with vanilla scratch. you'll have to use unofficial tools to change it. important: per scratch's guidelines, please do not refer to the names of browser extensions or userscripts. you are allowed to use browser extensions or userscripts at your own risk, but you may not advertise or mention them on scratch.
q.) i use the normal, standard navbar with no modifications. can i post it here?
a.) no, unless you've changed the presentation and/or the links, that is not allowed.
q.) should the navbar i share be using the scratch 3.0 or scratch 2.0 interface?
a.) doesn't matter, although sharing both would be nice. i personally prefer the 2.0 interface for its usage of functionality over form, but it's up to you.

here's the first ever submission to this art gallery by yours truly

i missed the era from 2011-2012 where for no reason companies were changing their logos and user interfaces to be in all lowercase (my favorite examples being the 2012 jcpenney logo, and the microsoft windows phone metro ui) so i decided to go down that path. i also added the discuss and wiki links because i wish those were on there

this reminded me that i need to edit my navbar buttons (will give an update later when i do), but here's a simple Royal Blue one (all of those messages are from ST, and 8/9 of them are from this year /weirdflex)

i'm gonna guess the bottom one is scratchr2 because the top one looks more broken

#5

Mr_rudy

here's my finished navbar i intend to personally use from now on. the banner is the same color as the scratch wiki's dark theme, the buttons are all lowercase, the searchbar is expandable, the pfp takes up less space, and there's buttons for the forums and the forum helpers.

Yea, no, its a side effect of how I made the small search bar work for scratchr2 pages I believe LOL

I've made the navbar only have links I actually click very often - for other things, I can just use the URL bar. TFH is The Forum Helpers, SA is Special Actions, and Project is a project that I have when I want to test some stuff so I don't end up with 999,999,999 unshared projects

Here's my navigation bar:

I chose that shade of gray because it's the one Turbowarp uses(or is very close).

i've improved on my navbar once more, and this is the one i've been using regularly for a few weeks now.

i decided to get rid of explore, ideas, and about since i never click on those. i was considering removing the create button, but i decided to keep it because it felt kind of wrong to remove it. the forum helpers used to lead to tfh, but now it leads to the tfh transition hub, at least until things have been sorted out. special actions leads to tfh special actions.

Hold on, discuss is still in that image though xD
Also I am curious about what your layout looks like (not just the navbar)

glad you asked! i'm really proud of my scratch layout. here you go:

scratchr2 theme

editor theme

scratch-www theme

i basically copied over the colors used for the scratch wiki's experimental dark theme and gave the content boxes a nice 3d effect.

if i had the opportunity to, i'd downgrade every page to scratchr2 since i prefer function over form, but i don't know how that'd be possible.
