  1. The double click → It’s doing great in chrome wb but, in firefox it’s still same. (Using firefox because it doesn’t lag on 2000+ blocks and pull to refresh can be toggled)
  1. It’s back again. :thinking:

:collision: These might not be important right now, but do consider…

I’ll take a look and see if we can do that…

It’s not back again, but an existing bug. For now, just toggle the theme back to Light and then back to Dark again. The issue is that, for new devices, it’s not setting a cookie that does that background hack to avoid flashing…

Will fix it.

Will fix it.

I cannot access the Any component i suggest of removing COOKIE SETTING maybe place it somewhere :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I wanted to mention this FAB, but got slipped off my mind… This FAB is irrelevant over here.

Yeah, but we are required to allow changing cookie settings to comply with some requirements… For now I’ll keep it off, but will need to add it back somehow eventually…

Alright, thanks

There’s a saying among Indians → “Forget about it”. so just implement it over here. :joy::joy:

This is now fixed for the next major release. On first load of an unknown browser it will still be white, but subsquent reloads will be dark.

Fixed in next major release (Screen1 is intentionally kept at the top):

Well that’s awesome… :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: looking forword for the

What do you say about, adding a copy button for the code selection… This feature doesn’t require any browser specifications… right…?

But it requires touching Blockly code, which is not as straightforward…

You just reminded me of Android studio… Well ‘code select’ just forget about it…

Hello everyone, congratulations on the updates, thank you for that.

(I’m using a translator, I apologize in advance if any description is incorrect. :sweat_smile:)

I would like to suggest something I feel is missing: an option to search within blocks, in the following way: being able to search by component name, by the variable we created, or by a description, and as I confirm, it would show the component found with the searched term in the center of the screen.

It would be something like when there’s an error and we click on the arrow and it shows the component in the center of the screen.

This would greatly facilitate things when we have many components, because sometimes I need to find something like a variable or component and I waste a lot of time searching for each component to find it.

Thank you all in advance.

All these dark theme issues have been fixed and are now live:

This is something MIT App Inventor has, but didn’t get a chance to port it… I think it may have been implemented in the new Blockly version, which means we have to also upgrade to it, so it won’t be an easy one…

I’ll keep it noted to deal with it eventually.
