Figma auto updated and now has a brand new layout. While I get the motivations and design thinking behind it, I simply don’t like anything about it. Two glaring pain points for me:



  1. I’d rather have the toolbar on top where it used to be, or at least have the option to anchor it to any edge of the screen. I’m working on 32" display, the bottom of the screen is quite far away form where my natural line of sight is.

  2. The floating surfaces that aren’t flush on the edge affectively create a “stroke” around as the canvas’s background peaks behind it. It adds a lot of visual noise and I find it terribly distracting and unpleasant.


Figma team, please please please give us the option to config these behaviors

Also, so many things changes all at once! It’s a lot take in all at once, I find it overwhelming and honestly frustrated that I’ll need to adjust my workflow to a layout where half the things aren’t where they used to be. I think you should’ve rolled out these changes gradually.

As a new designer, I feel uterly frustrated with that bulk of changes at once. I can not even imagine how real UI professionals must feel about it…

FYI apparently you can revert back

I would also like to opt out. My performance is greatly impaired because everything has moved.
