When presenting interactive components with a hover state, the cursor sometimes shows the pointer hand on hover and other times does not. Curious if I’m experiencing a bug or missing a setting. Thanks!

I have a foundation figma file with unpublished and published variables and collections. I am trying to apply such variables to another file with two ways: Importing the foundation file library to the file i am working on. With the command await figma.teamLibrary.getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync(); i do get only the published collections so i do not have access to the unpublished ones. Using figma rest api endpoint GET /v1/files/:file_key/variables/local i get all the variables and collections but i cannot import the unpublished ones in my working file, so i cannot apply unpublished variables to the working file’s nodes. Is there any way to apply unpublished variables to a file through figma api? the weird part is that through figma ui the user can apply unpublished variables. Something goes wrong when trying to do so via code.Thanks in advance!

Every time I open Figma (a lot daily), I have this annoying popup. How to close it forever?  

we have a client that wants us to transfer an entire project including all versions / libraries / comment threads over to their account. seems easy to do within an organisation - less so between organisations.exporting the file and re-opening it and saving it on their side is not an option at this point.any help greatly appreciated.

How do I make this text left aligned_Clicking on align left has no effecté 

I’ve created a component with elements that can be toggled on/off using boolean properties. They each work individually however when the subhead and body components are both toggled off the frame that they’re housed in doesn’t reduce it’s height and subsequently the white space from the frame remains at the top of the component.I’ve double checked and the frames within this component are set to hug contents for height. Open to workarounds but the one’s suggested in this feature thread (such as a 0px line being added) don’t remove the padding between the frame and the rest of the component.  

Who else is trying to find where the corner radius is in Figma Slides? The problem is sometimes it’s there, but sometimes not… 😰

I’m trying to prototype a mobile app interface with floating overlays — like draggable toolbars or on-screen script buttons — similar to what’s used in tools like arceusX script UI.In Figma, I can build the static UI, but it’s tricky to visualize how these elements would behave on top of other apps or interact with touch. Has anyone here figured out a smart way to simulate floating layers or translucent overlays in Figma for Android use cases?Would love to hear how you’ve approached this kind of thing — even hacky workarounds are welcome!

Hi is Figjam supported on Android? I've been using Figjam on my iPad but recently switched over to a Samsung S tablet. I can't seem to find a Figjam app.  

With Figma Grid, I can’t longer find the previous Wrap feature that allowed me to create a reactive and responsive grid by applying a "min" element.

Hey,I have components in one library and now want to split on few separate libraries like “buttons.library”, “notifications.library” etc. and I have few files with designs. How to easily reassign components in these design files to the same components but in the new libraries?Thanks in advance! 

Hello, I only use Figma on the web, I can’t use the desktop app due to my computer macOS version. I have installed the Figma Font Installer, and it says that I can use local fonts on the web, but this is not working. Any solutions? Best,

Does anyone know what Error ID: 537757b90d844b5f9f372ab9e9b333db mean?

I want to convert an elementor site into Figma designs because they want to use Wix Studio instead of WordPress. I can only find info to use Figma to create Elementor sites.  

Hello,Would you like to downgrade my Education plan to Starter free plan, because I am soon graduating and I don’t need it anymore?

I’ve built a hero component with an autoplaying background video. It has a button in the bottom corner that needs to be able to play/pause the video on click. My problem is that when i try to select the video, it’s greyed out and not selectable. Anyone know why this is and if there’s a way around it? TIA. video selection greyed out.component top level layering structure 

I have the Starter Plan but no Figmal AI button. According to the Figma website all paid plans come with Figma AI. I tried contacting support but they told me to ask here for some odd reason. So hopefully a kind soul can inform me if Figma AI is only available in higher tiers (if so, I wish Figma had said so in the first place).Thanks in advance!

Hi,I’m testing out the beta auto layout grid and I’ve come across something peculiar and I was wondering if anyone else came across this issue? Is it possible to put text over a background shape? Auto layout does not like this for some reason, it shifts the shape up or down in the grid.I also tried to apply horizontal auto layout and that does seem to work in terms of sitting above the shape however when I adjust the webpage frame that part isn’t responsive. See attached a few example images. Please let me know if anyone has had the same issue and how they were able to resolve this?Thanks

Within figma, is there any chance we would see support of the flex property “direction:ltr or rtl” for layouts with wrap enabled. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this before building this functionality myself for a plugin I’m working on.For folks who want to know the difference. I attached the image main below from an HTML / CSS context. This is primarily used for languages and layouts which are read right to left (RTL) such as arabic, urdu, farsi etc..  

Hello :)I'm working on a software prototype to kinda simulate a Google Chrome (or any Webbrowser) tabbing system with some add. extras. The crucial bit is:- Opening tabs.- Closing tabs.- When opening a tab, it should add it to the top (eg. like google chrome does with new tabs).- When closing a tab, the other open tabs should move all to the left (so there is no empty tab space)(eg. also like google chrome).- Each tab is a different page with subpages and menus.- Within a tab, you can open/close further tabs within. (So it's kinda like a second level tab navigation).This might be a figma overkill (especially the secondary tab level, open/close history), but worth a shot if anyone ever has tried something similar. I guess nested components of each tab is a good start?I've successfully simulated it with loveable, but need a figma prototype now. Thanks a lot in advance :)

Hey, I’m building on a Figma plugin. I’m trying to change the Figma file name if the user types the name & submitted from the plugin. I’m currently using this function. figma.root.name. but it’s still not changing the file name. It still keeps as untitled. Please help me if we even have that capability. 

I understand it’s Pride Month, but this feels a bit too on-the-nose. I can’t find a setting to turn it off.

I have some video files I want to add to my website, but a lot of interaction features have been simplified and none of the videos play. Wondering if it could be a bug of some sort? Already troubleshooted as much as I could, clearing cache and tried placing every video in its separate frame. Possibly would like the videos to play on hover although I don’t think it’s a feature yet.
