Hand off variables/tokens to developers?

Will there be a way for exporting all variables so that I can hand off to my developers? If this exists already, how to do it? The Figma Studio Plugin allows to download a JSON file with all the token definitions. I wonder if I could have the same for my devs. The feature Dev Mode allows you to see which variables have been implemented while selecting a component. However, developers in my team would like a full list of these variables definitions. Thank you so much for these new updates! Great work. I am fascinated with these new features. Love Love Love!

Sticky button growth hover

Hi, I am designing a button for the user to go back to the top of the page layout. The button is fixed during the scroll and when the user hover over it it grows to show a text. The problem is that when doing the hover behavior it makes a strange behavior and I don’t know what can be the problem: Figma – 20 Sep 24

After changing the color value of the button, if you change the size, an unknown color value appears.

I am managing the button color and size values ​​by creating them as components. After changing the color value of the button, if you change the size from l → m, an unknown color value appears. Is this a bug? What did I do wrong? The sky blue color is not found anywhere in our design system.I am managing the button color and size values ​​by creating them as components.

Rasterize frame fill but keep frame content as is

I’m building a presentation using Figma (regular Figma, not Figma Slides) and I need to export it as a PDF. The problem is I have some intricate fills in many of the frames I use as slides, for example, a background image + radial gradient + linear gradient + overlay low opacity noise image, and things like that. Some stakeholders see glitchy backgrounds on some slides when I export the pdf. I thought I would rasterize the fills of the frames, so instead of a bunch of stacked pictures and gradients they’re simple images, but doing so also rasterizes the content of the frame (i.e., all the text and other elements included on the “slide” frame). The workaround I’m using is creating a new frame for the slide, and manually separating the contents from the original slide frame, but it’s quite a tedious task. Does anyone have another possible solution for this? Maybe I could also post this in “Share an idea”? Thanks, Marc

Scrolling animation

Hi! How to make a similar animation in Figma, as in the video? https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/25851684?key=59037b98d547516fa4c14acc0d07f642 I mean to make the words appear when you scroll the mouse wheel down. The background video does not move until the list ends

About new ui of figma

One of the worst thing you have done is hiding create component inside, it very irritating to finding all the times with multiple clicks , if possible please make it upfront so we can use it easily , because it is most used thing in Figma 😤 😫

Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable 'console'.

Hello everyone, I’m developing a Figma plugin using the create-figma-plugin toolkit by Yuanqing. I’m encountering two problem Whenever I modify the UI of my plugin—such as changing fonts, colors, or other styles—the changes do not reflect when I run the plugin in Figma.I’ve tried rebuilding the plugin after making changes, but the UI remains the same. Error When Running npm run watch When I execute npm run watch, I receive the following error message: node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.dom.d.ts:16669:13 - error TS2451: Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable ‘console’. 16669 declare var console: Console; ~~~~~~~ node_modules/@figma/plugin-typings/index.d.ts:11:9 11 const console: Console ~~~~~~~ ‘console’ was also declared here.

UI3 Toolbar is blocked by stop sharing panel when presenting in google meet/ other tools

Understand the intention to free up some space. But please don’t put it at the bottom since: that’s not where designer used to find the tool bar in all the other design tools when presenting Figma screen through other tools like google meet, the Toolbar is not accessible at all Please either put it back to the top taking up just a row, or make the location of toolbar customised

Variables and conditional logic in main component, but instances affect all other instances?

I’ve created a main component which is a select (aka “dropdown”) menu. This component will then have instances nested within a table. My variables and conditional logic work for the main component, but when I start using nested instances in my design, when in prototype mode selecting one option from my select menu, it will change all of the nested instances of the component. Which makes sense as it’s changing to the variables via the logic that I have defined. My question: Is there a way (using conditionals/variables) for the nested instances to not affect the other nested instances? And without having to have a unique variable for each of the nested instances. My logic was based off of this example

Sign in with Google doesnt work properly anymore

Hi there, So had an google account without Gmail, i used my hotmail email account for my Google account. Since a few weeks I created a Gmail account under my existing Google account. If I now try to sign in with Google it signs me in with my new primary Gmail account and I can’t get to my old account. Is there some way how to fix this? on other websites it works fine when i now ry to sign in with google so i think Figma does something wrong with google sign in and creates new accounts. I hope there is a way to get my files back. I tried Figma support but i don’t have an payed account so they wont help me.

Dev Mode Without Edit Access

Hello, In our team, we have designers and developers. Designers should be able to edit files and developers needs to view the dev mode only. But when i give Full Designer seat to developers for them to access dev mode, they can also edit files. Which is against the whole logic. That’s not makes sense at all. I don’t want my developers to accidently change my design files. Which is very easy to do so. Risky. Is there any way to set these seats “read-only” and make them access dev-mode only? Thanks a lot,

Auto-Layout for Component Variant Sets

In my journey to stay more organized, I’ve found it beneficial to start setting my Component variant groups to Auto-Layout. Keeps things nice and orderly in my design file. I’m wondering if Figma could get away with automatically applying auto-layout settings to component groupings. That way we don’t have to click within each grouping and add the Gap + Horizontal/Vertical Padding.

When referencing library in second file is it possible to prevent the passthrough of variables in the original library

My main design library references variables for light/dark. The new file is multi-theme but only uses light from the original library. We do not use those same dark variables but they are coming through into the component playground off the original library components. Is it possible to block the dark variables from passing through?

Design to dev handoff process? (NOT dev mode)

Drag interaction doesn't respond vertically - only horizontally

trying to create a vertical slider with drag animation encountered several problems: the animation works only one way. seems to be triggered only by horizontal drag. It also seems like it’s triggered only by a starting point and end point and doesn’t feel intuitive and control-able as I drag.
