# What's new in Scratch Addons v1.36.0

With this new Scratch Addons update, which will be rolling out soon, we've made some improvements to existing addons to make them even more useful, and a couple new addons too!

### Rearranging parameters in custom blocks
## Rearranging parameters in custom blocks

You may have once created a custom block with some parameters, only to realize you want to change their order, but found no such option other than to delete the parameters and re-add them. The new [Rearrangable custom block inputs](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#reorder-custom-inputs) addon solves this problem by adding buttons to switch them around.

To switch the places of a parameter or label in a custom block you're editing, click on it and use the `<` and `>` buttons to switch its place with the parameter or label to the left or right.

### Infinite scrolling expands to search results and the explore page
## Infinite scrolling expands to search results and the explore page

The [Infinite scrolling](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#infinite-scroll) addon now works on the search results and explore pages. That means you don't have to click "Load more" anymore on those pages.

### Semi-hidden toolbar in full screen
## Semi-hidden toolbar in full screen

When using the [Enhanced full screen](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#fullscreen) addon, you only had the option to show the toolbar (the green flag and stop sign) persistently at the top of the screen or to hide it completely. Now, you can set it to show only while your mouse is hovering near the top of the screen, which is a nice in-between.

### New theme options
## New theme options

This update also adds a new addon that provides options for customizing the look of the editor menu bar in a few different ways. You can hide buttons you don't need and change how buttons with icons and text labels look.

We also added a few more customization features:
- A new addon for the editor which makes the input fields on blocks have squared-off corners, resembling how they looked in Scratch 2.0.
- You can now apply custom colors to variable, list, and other reporter monitors on the stage with [Customizable block colors](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#editor-theme3).

### Highlights

This update contains some other small but nice enhancements as well:
- A new addon, enabled by default, that makes code dragged and dropped from the backpack drop right next to your mouse pointer, instead of at the top-left corner of the code area.

This update brings in the ability to download projects with one click, plus a couple other new useful features and quality-of-life improvements and some bug fixes!

### Download projects fast
## Download projects fast

Finding yourself saving a lot of your own or your favorite Scratch projects? The new [Project page download button](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#download-button) addon can help. It adds a download button right below the Notes and Credits section of all projects.

![The actions button row on the project page with a Download button added at the end](/assets/img/blog/v1-37-released/projectpage-download-button.png)

This button is functionally identical to the `File``Save to your computer` option in the editor, just that you don't have to go into the editor first.

### A smaller backpack button

Another new addon we've made is called [Replace backpack bar with button](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#hide-backpack), which changes the backpack drawer at the bottom of the editor to this little button:

### Improved custom block input insertion
## Improved custom block input insertion

Now, when you have the [Rearrangeable custom block inputs](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#reorder-custom-inputs) addon enabled, you can turn on the "Insert new inputs after selected input" setting to make it so that when you add an input or label, it gets inserted to the right of whatever input or label you have selected. It works like this:

### An important button gets better
## An important button gets better

That's right, our new addon, [Larger "Save Now" button](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#big-save-button), which is **enabled by default**, just increases the clickable area of the "Save Now" button in the editor, a change that you might not even notice that can subconsciously make a big difference.

### Other changes

As for the smaller stuff, there's a lot:
- [Debugger](https://scratch.mit.edu/scratch-addons-extension/settings#debugger)'s "Threads" tab will now automatically scroll to the active thread while single stepping.

- Opening the sound library while a project is paused no longer resumes the audio.
- And various other improvements and fixes.

### Browser support changes
## Browser support changes

For those of you using older browsers, starting this release, Scratch Addons will drop support for Chrome versions under 96 and Firefox versions under 109. Why? It's not important. But what is important is that you will need to update your browser to continue using Scratch Addons if you are using a version that we no longer support.
