Optional Start/Reset

Would it be possible to add a checkbox in the Export menu to remove the Start and Reset buttons from the Scenario, and have it just start when the applet is loaded? The only reason I ask is for those of us who are making our games more professional looking, and aim to eliminate the start and reset button from the image of our game entirely. Also, if a game has a menu, it's nice to not have to press start on the applet, and then also have to press start in the game :)

Not sure about removing them, but in terms of not pressing start on the applet you can call 
Greenfoot.start()
in the world's constructor so the user doesn't have to press the start button.

Yeah, I'm aware of that way to start the scenario automatically, I was more interested in a way to get rid of the Start and Reset buttons. Would there be any way for me to use the source to recompile Greenfoot for myself so that it will not include the start or reset buttons upon export? Or is that just going to be a lot of hassle?

I can see Greenfoot wanting to keep the buttons for publishing onto the gallery for simplicity for the gallery viewers (Though I think it would be okay as an option up to the creator based on what they made). But for sure for an option when exporting such as a stand alone application.

Builderboy2005: it's certainly possible to modify and recompile Greenfoot yourself, though it's going to be a bit of effort. (In the end, the question is going to be, how much do you want to remove those buttons?) We (the Greenfoot team) can discuss an option to remove the start and pause buttons in a future version of Greenfoot. It's not a certainty though. Professional games aren't really the target for Greenfoot.

Ah gotcha, the reason I ask is merely because the website WeCreateStuff.com has taken an interest in my Nightmare Scenario, and I aim to release it on their website as well as Greenfoot when it is finished, and I was just looking for a way to remove those buttons, but it's not really a high priority right now :P
