I'm Brazilian and I'm going to Figma Config 2024.However, it will be a membership sponsored by the company I work for. Can you tell me if, at the end of the process, I get an invoice for the purchase to prove it and request a refund from the company?

I’m looking to create a fake broken screen design using Figma for a project, and I’d love some guidance or tips on how to achieve a realistic broken screen effect. I’ve tried a few approaches, like adding cracks and lines, but I’m not sure how to make it look convincing or dynamic enough. Here’s what I’m aiming for:A screen with cracks and shattered pieces Some realistic distortion effects A design that can be used as a mockup for a broken phone screenDoes anyone have any suggestions or techniques on how to create this kind of effect in Figma?Here is an example: Broken Screen

Hey all! I’d like to know how to do the automation sequence through Python: 1 - take an specified image from Google Drive 2 - insert it into a Component Image inside a specific Page in Figma. 3 - go to another Page named “Mockups” 4 - download all files as JPG MAX RESOLUTION and put them into a specified Google Drive Folder. I have kinda 4000 images to do so, and need to work in Cloud. And no, Photoshop is not an option for me. Anybody has any idea? Note: I’ve already tried, in company of ChatGPT-o, to do such. But the API Token generated only gives me Watch permissions, and I need WRITE permissions. Thanks!

This is a question for plugin developers… Is there a min/max width and height for the dimensions of a plugin window? For example is it possible to make the plugin window very narrow (like 40 pixels for example), and make its height fill the height of the Figma application viewport? Also, is it possible to “dock” the plugin window to either side (right, left, top, or bottom) of the Figma UI, so that it’s basically attached to one of these sides.

I see a lot of design systems and starter kits create a primitive set of untis used for sizing and spacing but I struggle to see what the benefit is in creating the variables from the primitives rather than creating the variable values direct. Could someone shed some light on this in the event I am missing something.  Thanks for reading.Mark 

Hello,I created a fixed header. If I scroll through my prototype, buttons with “over hovering” are also displayed in the header bar, which is not supposed to be the case. How can I solve this? You can see the problem in the pictures, in picture 2 the mouse cursor was removed because it is an SC.I would be happy about help.Thanks in advance.

I’ve created a custom plugin to export my Figma variables.I have an opacity variable that is set to 0.8 However, when I export it, it gets exported with a value of 0.800000011920929 const variable = await figma.variables.getVariableByIdAsync(variableId);const { name, valuesByMode } = variable;console.log({name});console.log({valuesByMode}); When I use “nicer” numbers, like 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 or 1, the rounding error does not happen, but it does with pretty much any other numbers.

Hello there, I’ve noticed that the Figma app on my Mac is highlighting correct spellings. I have already set the language to English in my profile. Could anyone please let me know if there are any solutions to this issue?

 I’m making a paid Figma plugin, but I am unable to publish the plugin - I’ve received the below notification:May I know how long the seller status check will take? And how will we be notified that it is completed?

Hey, I’m a beginner and there is a doubt regarding how I can use two solid colors in one frame. For eg in the below given picture I want to make that green and white color background together.

So I’m new to figma, and I’ve been trying to search for a way to do this but haven’t found, and I don’t know if it’s possible.Basically this is within a frame, my homepage frame and I wanted to make the menu change the subject as you click in another theme.So you start in “starters” but when you click on “ramen” it changes to the ramen menu, but all this in the same page. Would this be possible to make? Every video I’ve seen has been showing me how to do it, but it's on different pages.

Please how can i turn a screen to a A4 and PDF in Figma 

Hello. I am making a app and found a problem I don’t know have to fix. Let say I scroll down on page 1 and navigate the other pages (by clicking navigation at the bottom), I start at the bottom of that page. So where I am at Page 1 is where I will start on the next page. Anyone who knows the fix for this?

Case Study Block: I’ve completed Google’s UX courses and some projects on UXcell, but the case studies I’ve built feel very basic and messy. I want to create a proper, polished portfolio but feel stuck, especially when it comes to mastering Figma—things like typography, color coordination, layout, and ensuring everything looks cohesive. This perfectionism is holding me back. Do you have any advice on overcoming this block or ideas for starting fresh? Figma for UX Researchers: How essential is knowing Figma in detail for a UX researcher? Do you think it's necessary to dive deep into its advanced functionalities, or is a more surface-level familiarity enough for day-to-day work? Skills Focus: My academic background is in philosophy (BA) and dramatic literature (MA), so I don’t have a formal foundation in design or graphics. Do you think I should spend more time learning tools like Figma, Miro, Adobe, and AI plugins, or should I focus more on theoretical knowledge like UX psychology, gami

Is there a plugin or an out-of-the-box Figma solution that would allow end users to switch UI design between multiple brand looks (e.g., Brand-A, Brand-B, Brand-C, or more than 50 different brands)?The idea is to maintain one master design in Figma, driven by variables from multiple collections and modes, so it can adapt to each predefined brands. Essentially, I’m looking for a way to let end users toggle between various brands based on a predefined set of collections and modes for each brand.

I’m building a plugin that manages numbered dots on canvas, organized in groups. In the plugin, the user can click a button to add a dot to the canvas. However, on larger files, adding the first or any dot is slow to update the UI in the plugin. So far I’ve done this setup Uses Figma.clientStorage registry instead of page scanning Built with Preact, communicates via messages In-memory caching for groups/dots Issue Creating new elements is fast, but UI updates are delayed: // Fast canvas operations create_first_dot: 220ms add_dot_to_page: 0ms registry_update: 0ms // But slow UI update Message received → +513ms → State update State update → +3948ms → Render scheduled Render scheduled → +559ms → Complete Total: ~5s delay Interestingly, the canvas dot appears instantly (despite the large file size). Furthermore: Registry updates immediately Subsequent UI updates are fast (~15ms) Only first update after creating element is slow Any ideas why there’s such a delay between canvas operatio

Is there a limit to how many people can view a model in presentation view at the same time? I get the limits on viewing a model or project itself but I want to share the link of a demo of the model with a lot of people. I feel like I can’t get a straight answer on this.

Hi everyone, Recently the option to check for updates disappeared from my Figma menu. Does anyone know where I can enable it? Thanks a lot!

Just updated to the latest version ( 124.3.3). The option to copy text from the inspect mode has disappeared? Where did it go? This has totally slowed down my workflow…

I am new to Figma and designing an app screens, but the problem i am stuck at is if i have to change my screen size then b=my buttons logo and all changes according to the way i want. But the text size which should increase or decrease doesn’t change but just its boundary box increases or decreases as the screen size is changed

why did the new update change the shortcut key. I used to use ctrl/cmd shift G to ungroup but I couldn’t do it and after I did the manual by right clicking, I saw it changed to cmd delete. why did you change the user behavior like that. I use sketch to work and also use that shortcut key and I used Figma before. The change makes me feel unfamiliar
