Hi there!

So I’ve been designing a website and came across one struggle 😬 How do I add elements such as icons on top of other frames/responsive elements of my website?

Using the screenshot example, how do I add these icons on top of my responsive table and make it centrally aligned to each of the columns?

Also using the second screenshot, how do I add these squares to the corners on top of the responsive container?

It’s not a bug if the shadow is applied to the top level frame. That’s why in my design I added another frame behind the table to act as the shadow caster. You’ll see it if you inspect my design file.

You can achieve these results using absolute positioning and constraints.

Oh yeah, it worked, thank you a lot!

But it seems there is a bug in Figma, because when I add these icons on top of my table and set the absolute position, it automatically adds the same shadow to my icon container as the table’s. When I go to the properties of the icon’s container, there’s no shadow in the properties.

Do you think it’s a bug or I am doing something wrong?
