The Figma becoming worst by latest appearance updates

You guys made it utterly complicated by updating the appearance of it. First you all ruin the Project browse and create feature. Now look at the side options menu it’s very complicated and make the designers mind even stressful when dealing with it. You guys brought the minimalism by ruin it’s day to day practicality like windows. Also, I’m having font issues as well. What’s the matter of this? Who are the frs changing this time to time. I want to see the fug faces of those Basterds. Common man we want the older Figma back otherwise we have to switch another tool 🙂

New beta version?

As a Pro user,I am so frustrated by the new version of Figma. Not only did it disrupt my flow with such a new layout, but also its responsiveness is so bad that my page loads forever to open.

Please help, is there a way to make the input bars resize when changing the display resolution?

Hi! I can’t find a way to make the input bars in an app resize correctly when the display resolution changes. They always stick to their pixel-given size, and I can’t use percentages. I wish I could do anything about this. It’s for an Android app, I’d wish for it to be universal. Here’s a YouTube link to the issue https://youtu.be/Z2noAIuh1tQ.

Design system structure for web, app and 4 different companies

Here’s the scenario: There are 4 companies under one parent company. These 4 companies have their own website (desktop/mobile) and apps and are not entirely similar but can start out similar and change over time. Similarities Some pages (app/web) are similar in structure but the styling is different Companies may start with similar structures but over time may be different. Similar enough to use variable modes for theming Differences: Icons Text/Colour Headers & footers App and web don’t always align in terms of features and functionality - for example: Feature A is available on the website but has not reached production on the app yet and may never be (for a variety of reasons) Note: App components and web components have atomic components that are the same, but molecules and organisms can be very different or the same. The company is on the organisation Figma plan so we only have 4 variable modes How do I structure this complicated design system for web and app with 4 compa

Opening a link to a Prototype always opens in the Browser, not the Desktop App?

If I click a link to open a Figma file, it opens in the Desktop App since I have selected the default setting “Open links in the app”. That seems to be working as intended. However, when I open a link to a prototype in presentation mode, it opens in the browser. There is NO option to open it in the desktop app - my browser doesn’t prompt me to do so, and I cant find any manual button in the Figma UI to do so. Is this a bug, am I missing something?

Component resizing from the center can I make it resize upward?

I have an onboarding component with an arrow at the bottom. The problem is when the component gets bigger when theres more copy added, the box gets larger from the center and the arrow gets hidden. Is there a way to have it resize by going upward? or have the arrow move down along with the bottom edge of the shape?

Publishing small component change is reseting some instances' text properties

I see some older mentions of similar problems but this seems a little different. I’ve reproduced this in a standalone library and design file… I start with a MUI Select component in my library and create instances in a separate design file like this. Each label and value are set by Text properties. I then update the library to slightly restructure the component. Each label gets grouped with another text layer that optionally shows a “*” if a new “required” property is true. When I publish the library, I expected all the labels and values to remain unchanged… but, only some of the variants do… The funny thing here is only 1 reset. The last time I tried this, 3 of them reset. What is going on? (Ignore the error variant’s label’s color change - my mistake.)

Let me decide when to adopt new layouts

I love Figma, but please don’t move my frequently used tools with no notice. Give me the option of adopting new designs when it’s convenient. I don’t want to hunt for frequently used tools on my hand-off day.

Sketch user here transitioning to Figma

Hi everyone, I have a question about layer styles. In Sketch, you can set a layer style for a title, including values like font color, font, size, etc. However, in Figma, it seems that you can only apply layer styles to typography information, and color needs to be set separately. For example, if I want to create an error notification title in Figma with 12px, red, and bold text, I would need to create a text style with the 12px and bold settings and a separate style for the color. In Sketch, you could create a style called “error title” that includes the font weight, size, and color all in one. Is it possible to combine these styles in Figma, or do they need to be applied separately?

Figma Type Tokens: Mode Switching and Variable Display Issue

I have type variables bound to a type style, and when I switch modes from desktop to iOS, I can’t see the changes in the type style properties. It always shows the first column (Mode), which in this case would be desktop. Any ideas on why this happens? This first screen has the desktop (Mode) active. This second screen has iOS (Mode) selected. The type scale changes visually but the display of the variables is not changed unless I go into dev mode. Is this as intended?

API refrence to clean up plugin data from layers?

Hello everyone, Throughout my projects, I frequently utilize a variety of plugins to optimize my workflow. Recently, as I was developing an Icon library, I incorporated a plugin to expedite the process. However, as I’m preparing to publish the library, I find myself needing to remove all plugin-related data from the properties panel for each icon. Considering the distinct naming conventions used, I’m unable to select multiple items simultaneously for this cleanup. So I decided to create a plugin to do this, is there an API reference to remove plugin trace from layer with bulk selection? or even better one, inspect layers with plugin data and remove all of them as bulk ?

However, as I’m preparing to publish the library, I find myself needing to remove all plugin-related data from the properties panel for each icon. Considering the distinct naming conventions used, I’m unable to select multiple items simultaneously for this cleanup. Is there a technique to accomplish this in bulk? Additionally, in more complex projects where I apply a sequence of plugins, I’m curious if there’s a streamlined method to erase all plugin data from every layer in one action before making the project public. Is there a method or plugin that anyone has used successfully for this purpose?
