Boosting the Profile Up [Full Support]

Hello everyone, I am here to suggest a perhaps refurnishing of the profile page. This could be used as both personal preference and privacy.

1. Banners
Alright, I know these have been suggested before, but perhaps a different take on them? Perhaps instead of being customized in a multicolor way, it could be grey/white design in the background. In case you haven't assumed where these banners would be, it would be located at the bar that houses the username, logo, country of origin/location, and the follow button.

These could be modified through a minature design library that contains grey and white designs in different ways (i.e. polka dots, stripes, or hearts) and the basic grey bar. There is also another option which is to upload your own image file for the banner, but it will be immediately converted into a 2D two-colored banner.

The banners may be reported as well, in case if that's a concern. The report button would be in the “Report this user.”

This emphasizes creativity and uniqueness.

Inspired, but not a duplicate of, this suggestion.

2. Sections that Could be Disabled
Sections of the profile (excluding comments, shared projects, and the main top module) may be removed from the public or placed for viewing. In example, people could remove their Studios I'm Following section from their profile, or leave it there.

To remove/re-enable, next to “View All” would be a “Remove” or “Add” button that would remove the module(s) from the public or re-add it to the public. The studios/content stored there will not be removed but stored so when they are re-enabled, it wouldn't be empty.

These buttons would only be seen by the profile owner, and even removed modules will be visible to them (but some logo shows it is not shared.)

This could be used as privacy or personal preference.

3. Reset Preferences
If you wish to reset the preferences, you may click a button to reset your profile but not remove any projects/studios/descriptions.

Support for both. However, just wondering if the “Reset” is actually necessary. It's actually not that big a deal, since it's not like it's that difficult to code and what not. I'm just thinking, how many settings are there that it's too tedious to just delete/show everything? Actually, would the reset reset the profile pic/banner, too? Maybe I'm just stupid, but it's not possible (at the moment) to set your profile to back to the default, right? So yeah, not that I would need it, but some people might want it.

I'm not sure if the profile icon should be included as part of resetting the profile. But it would definitely reset the customizations mentioned in the OP.

No support.

Just kidding, this seems neat to be added.

(Can't say anything good to the conversation anymore. xD)

This is amazing! Full support, and I also have an EXTRA idea based on this topic. You know the classic blue streak on the top of the page and the white boxes surrounding everything? Well, why not be able to customize those too with just a colour pallet? That would be pretty cool.

Are you talking about the bar at the top with Scratch, your username, and stuff? That would be interesting.

The banner colors (not really colors, but options) are grey-and-white sketchbook-like backgrounds for your profile. It's a slight change to the background of the top bar of one's profile, without being too overdone (colors may distract.) It does offer an upload feature that will convert it to the grey-and-white format if it is not.

The reset button just simply resets all customizations mentioned in this topic, perhaps more…?

Support - shouldn't be too hard to implement and would make a nice little bit of customization that I honestly think would be wonderful. c;

Banners aren't detailed at all, it wouldn't be that large either. The profile modules could be removed/added quickly and shouldn't add lag at all.

Just like Austinato said, the file size wouldn't be big at all, so no lag or unnoticeable differences would be it.

Yes, the only possible lag-causing feature could be making the modules you want to delete to fade away and then the next one to slide up.

Those extra features are kind of like using gifs as profile pics instead of still images.(?)

I thought so. Thanks for the clarification!
