Adding 2.0 block colors to Scratch 3.0. Made by infinitytec 2018-2020.
This script brings the style of Scratch 2.0 to Scratch 3.0 while preserving the core features and interface of the new version of the platform. It mimics the appearance, behavior, and animations of the previous version—from the color palette and fonts to the block structure and interactions. Specifically, the script modifies the appearance of toolbars, making them more raised, with gradient fills similar to those used in Scratch 2.0, and adding shadow effects that simulate volume. Blocks in the design area receive the smoother edges familiar to Scratch 2.0, with reduced spacing between elements, creating the dense layout characteristic of the previous version.
The script also modifies the animation for opening and closing panels: instead of a smooth sliding motion, a sharp but smooth "pop-up" effect is introduced, reminiscent of the interface in version 2.0. The color scheme is being redesigned with warm, rich hues—from turquoise to dark blue—characteristic of Scratch 2.0's visual identity. Fonts are being replaced with simpler, sans-serif fonts, smaller in size, and with reduced line spacing, making text more readable on smaller screens.
Furthermore, the script adds click effects to blocks: when clicked, the block shrinks slightly and then returns to its original state, simulating the tactile feedback found in the original version. The highlighting of selected blocks changes from bright blue to a darker shade, closer to the color of Scratch 2.0's buttons. The old block grouping rules are also preserved: when dragging blocks, they are automatically aligned to the left, as they were in version 2.0, which is especially useful when creating complex scripts.
The script maintains compatibility with the core features of Scratch 3.0: it allows you to work with variables, lists, sprites, animation, sound, and event sensitivity, while still remaining as if you were using Scratch 2.0. This is especially valuable for users accustomed to the logic and appearance of the previous version and seeking comfort and a familiar interface when transitioning to the new platform.
