Changing Blockly look and feel like in microsoft.makecode, scratch blocks

[zak oliver]

Hello , developers, contributors, 

I'm currently working on project which uses google blockly in front end  to build the logic in the application,and I have developed custom blocks with generators. now my  focus is to change the blockly ui to something like in these sites https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor, https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/?tutorial=getStarted which supports icons , colors in toolbox area , custom styles in blocks..etc. In the blockly guide its only for changing colors and block styles, but I need to extend blockly further more. 

I did a little research about these and found pxt-blockly repo in the github https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-blockly, is there any workaround to use this repo to make changes in my project. and may be later if possible I want to integrate code to blockly that can be  found in https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor.

your guidance and advises are warmly welcomed. 

Thank you.

Hi Zak!

Both pxt-blockly and scratch blocks are forks of blockly. So you can either of those basically as a replacement for blockly.

Hope this helps!
