set [ v] color to [red v] :: variables
sweet block right?
Supports: 3

I guess I'll support for a more specific color changing block since we can't really do a lot with the
set [color v] effect to ( )
block.
Though, I feel like there could be a workaround?

As in, you know how if there's a variable onscreen it's orange? This can change it to a different colour.

Side note to @Grant50: Change the title to something more useful like “Change variable colour block”
how would this work? And what will it work on?
Just to clarify, this is changing a variable color - not a sprite color - right?

Variables.

Yes.
I assume so, anyway.

“awesome new block. CLICK TO SEE!” is kind of a clickbait title.

If this is to change the color of a stage monitor for a variable, then sorry, it's a duplicate.

No Support, there is already a way to do this, you just have to figure it out. Except it can only be a few colors.

I like it! But I wouldn't just want the colours of the rainbow, but then again I don't expect kids to know HTML colour codes. Support.

I don't see how this would be useful as a block. But it would be great if you could change the variable colour in the editor. I'm aware there's some sort of way to do this already, but it's not permanent and you can only use a few colours.

The user edited the JSON. There is no way to do this. The only way I know this is because I tried to find it, but there is none. I believe the JSON is the way.

Support. This would make one variable differ from another, if you are using the large var displayer.

That one uses watchers from other block categories. sprite2: sound, motion; sprite3: motion

There's already a way to change the block colors: You just shift-click the Edit menu and select “Edit Block Colors”.

They mean the variable colors

Yeah, and besides, they change the colors of all variable, not specific variables, and it won't show in another color to other users.

That makes sense now. This would be helpful to people that are borede of the color orange showing up on the screen. 100% support.
This would be cool for variables.

set [score v] colour to [green v]

Also styles.

set [score v] style to [wacky v]

i can do this
when green flag clicked :: events hat
show [my red variable v] :: variables
set [my red variable v]'s color to [#ff0000] :: variables
say [its a red variable!] :: looks
point towards [red variable hitbox sprite v] :: motion
forever
blink :: custom
end


define blink
wait (pick random number from (1) to (10) :: operators) seconds
switch costume to [blink v]
wait (0.01) secs
switch costume to [normal v]
