    Suggestion: Default Sound Settings

    Heya! Whenever I develop games with GMS2, I always run into the same little annoying workflow bottleneck. For every single sound that I import into gamemaker, I have to manually change the bitrate and mode (mono, stereo, 3D). I've seen that things like sprite assets have gotten default settings...

     Object variable text colour when variable not in Create Event

    Hi there, When I'm in an object event outside Create, I keep making the mistake of thinking I know the name of the variable I set in the Create event and I type the name out and carry on, but in truth I've made a typo or used a plural when I shouldn't, etc. Could you please add a new Text...

     GMS 2, Layout Suggestion

    I think that there should be a setting to enable a Layout to be automatically loaded on the creation of a new project. So rather then starting a new project then having to open up where ever you put your layout.xml or make a new one, GMS should automatically load a user defined preset of a layout.

    Discussion Suggestion: Vertical Lines for "Blocks"

    Something that I think should be added to the GMS2 code editor is that you should be able to show vertical lines for brackets, regions and other similar things. I think that it should look something like this

    Discussion [SOLVED] Reset Preferences?

    Is there any way to reset the preferences. I set the DPI too high, and now I can't even access the menu to change it. I've spent an hour uninstalling, reinstalling, looking through files. I'm obviously missing something, I just want to know what.

     "Default Packaging Type" options not working

    This is not working. It doesn't matter what I choose. When creating the executable, it always tries to export the project as a compressed zip. Using latest GMS 2 version to date (v2.0.6.136).

    Legacy GM Change Default <no sprite> Image?

    I really don't like that tiny blue ball. It has poor contrast and it's really small. Depending on the grid settings, it's not immediately apparent when I open a room. I'd really like to change it, but I don't see how to do that. If it's not an option, then please add this to the suggestion...
