What if we could customize the project frames colors/have special effects for a Project?

set project filter to [grayscale v] :: looks
change project filter by () :: looks
clear project filter :: looks
set filter intensity to () :: looks
change filter intensity by () :: looks
set filter transparency to () :: looks
change filter transparency by () :: looks

Filter suggestions:
pixelized
8-bit filter (pixelated + limited color range)
grayscale
comic filter (black outlines on everything)
retro console (pixelated + everything is green)
grayscale pixelized
blurry
party (animated rainbow gradient overlay)
bloom effect (everything has a glow, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_(shader_effect) )
low shadows (everything has a soft shadow)
high shadows (everything has a hard shadow)

I made a few mock-ups for what the button could look like:

This would be right next to “See Project Page”.

You can't read it, but next to the green flag button is the “Project Filters” button (I'm bad at Inspect Element.)

A larger version of the previous image.

Also hard to see, but instead of text, there would be a gear settings icon (for Project Filters).

Once again, a larger version of the previous image…

Pixelized:
-Use Pixel effect on all sprites

Grayscale:

set [color v] effect to ((1) / (0)) // For all sprites

Gameboy:
-Would cause licensing issues with Nintendo

Simple workarounds as stated above, plus Gameboy licensing issues, as, once again, stated above. The workarounds are too simple, so no support.

I doubt Nintendo would care about a nonprofit organization mentioning a retro game console from over 20 years ago but regardless I'll change the suggestion

nintendo would probably take all of your belongings and money for emulating a nintendo game from the 80's that they literally can't make any profit off of anymore.

Isn't the blurry and comic filter impossible to do?

blurry: Clone each part in the editor and size it larger, then go to the “center color merge” color mode in and go to the right color option and set it to no color. Long but works.

Comic: literally just outline in the editor

blurry isn't as simple and takes long, so I agree with it being a graphic effect, but that is it's own already suggested suggestion.

Can you make them adjustable? Like choose the pixel size you want.

Some other ideas:

• 16-bit (65,536 colours)
  
• CGA (pink, blue, black and white)
  
• EGA VGA (256 colours with 16 on screen at a time)

I actually really like this idea, scratch is meant to playful, and admittedly small children would love this, but maybe as an addon (like pen)

Great idea! Support! Also, that workaround for greyscale isn't true greyscale.

set [color v] effect to ((1) / (0)) // This just gives the illusion of greyscale.
