I think we have a good number of effects in the Scratch editor but I have an idea for a new effect. The glow effect. All sprites by default will have a glow effect of 0. If you increase the glow effect, it will make the sprite have a more neon-looking effect and have an outline of a thickness depending on the value you give it. This would help me (and I'm sure a lot of other people would make use of it too!) make really cool menu buttons where, instead of changing size, it's glow effect is made smaller. I got this idea from martcm.itch.io and I was looking at one of the projects and the sprites had this really cool glow effect to it wich made your character look like it was glowing and i thought: “Wow, this would be really cool if it were in Scratch!”.

Support, that'd be cool! <3

I don't think that is necessary, there are lots of workarounds, so, no support.

Support. Neon sprites would look cool, and it could help for me because my dream is to make a proper fast-framed introduction to my projects, and one of my ideas involves my username glowing with a light like those production company intros have. It's also an effect Roblox has, and although I shouldn't compare a multi-million dollar company with Scratch, it's pretty useful to have the effect in Roblox and I feel that it would be the same on Scratch.

support. a neon glow would be great for like maybe flashlights in projects!

Workaround:

change [brightness] effect by (25)

That's not a work around in the cases where I think it'd look good.

I'm pretty sure you'd have to use the brightness and saturation block, and the saturation block does not exist.

Support! I wanted to make a glowing scratch cat project a long time ago so if this is added it would be helpful

I think that would look cool and you could use it in games and animations. Good idea.

I'm thinking like this.

Support, I could use this for easier art and animation!

Wait, blue? I would picture it orange… support, that would be looking nice, and be useful for a lot of effects.
For everyone saying “This is unneeded”, when did you last use the mosaic effect?

Provide a reason please.

While I do love the idea of adding extra graphical effects based on what is currently difficult to do in Scratch, such as stretch and saturation, a ‘neon halo’ effect can be solved using one clone to follow the sprite wherever it goes. There are problems with this workaround when it comes to layering and clones, but those can be solved by other suggestions which could solve those problems in general, and not just for this specific effect.

then can you list one or two of the workarounds?
