[PLEASE DO NOT PROTEST THE PURPLE] An option in account settings to change the site's theme and navigation bar colour

I think it should be green(not light due to dyslexic people)

A dark yet beautiful and nice shade of green could be Forest Green. It has deep, rich tones that evoke the feeling of a dense forest, and it’s elegant and soothing without being overwhelming. Another great choice could be Emerald Green, which is still dark but with a vibrant, almost jewel-like quality. It gives off a luxurious, natural vibe while remaining calming and deep. These shades strike a balance between richness and beauty.
This is a block for you to look at for its colour-think about it a bit more dark,though.What do you think?

when video motion > (10)

I reccomend searching up Forest Green and Emerald Green on the internet first though.I'm not also sure that Scratch will accept blue because they changed the theme of.Also,we might have another option for turqouise.

its a light green??

The internet says for the navigation bar's font:
Use sans serif fonts, such as Arial and Comic Sans, as letters can appear less crowded. Alternatives include Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic, Trebuchet, Calibri, Open Sans. Font size should be 12-14 point or equivalent (e.g. 1-1.2em / 16-19 px).


The internet says for the navigation bar's colour:
Use dark coloured text on a light (not white) background. Avoid green and red/pink, as these colours are difficult for those who have colour vision deficiencies (colour blindness). Consider alternatives to white backgrounds for paper, computer and visual aids such as whiteboards. White can appear too dazzling.


For the navigation bar's colour,for a green backround(Forest Green,Emerald Green or turquoise)it can have white writing,especially if the colour shade is dark.If the colour shade is light,the writing should be black.From reading this,especially for dyslexic people,I think a light green colour shade with a black
font(options given in the first paragraph)will be a great idea!

I apologise that I couldn't find a dark coloured block with white writing.But,from searching in the internet,I think a light green navigation bar with a light green colour and black writing(with the font options for dyslexic people)will be a great idea.

Guys,I have found and rearranged a project where we can look at the colours we've chosen.We can't choose anymore options for titles,though.

That would be amazing there could be like dark green background then light green leaves it would be so detailed. Then there could be like an ocean theme and themes then you could also get light or dark mode

Bump above post(s).

i mean not really but having custom styles beyond a nav bar and general theme is overengineering it badly

Please correct me if I'm wrong, or if I don't seem like I've been paying attention to the discussion, but…

From what I understand, this was meant to be option-based, not strictly set to any color. From what I understand, your idea is to set it specifically to seafoam green.
Pardon my saying this, but I doubt most people are going to be happier with such an… exciting color.

Personally, I'd like colors based on the block themes. It would be customizable: a palette based each block category's standard color. For example, “Motion” would be like the original 3.0 colors.

go to (header v)

The current colors, meanwhile, could be from the “Looks” category. This can be the default, as the entire point of changing to purple was for standard accessibility.

switch backdrop to (nav bar v)

It would also allow colors like “operators” and “sensing”…

([color v] of [green]::operators)
(This feels calm::sensing)

…and even, if you'd like, some colors only seen in the forums

snip ellipsis gray::grey
unknown red::reporter

Or, at the very least, these could be presets, with a hex picker or CSB sliders for custom colors.

It looks like the quoted user is suggesting that all of these be different options, so each individual user can pick the color that works best for them. Instead of the bar at the top being the same color for every user on Scratch, each user can go into their settings and choose from one of those colors, inspired by the different block types in Scratch.

You are correct. That is what I intended. Thank you for clearing that up.
