How can I merge two color styles in my style library?

Hello community, I need to update the color styles library. I’d like to merge two color styles into one in order to update all the linking components to one new color. Is this even possible? Thank you.

Height of component doesn’t change after hiding layer

Hi all, I’m stuck with a problem you can hopefully help me with. I have a component that has several booleans of turning things off and on (see image). However, the component doesn’t shrink when I turn of both bottom items (text description and attachment. It does shrink when I only remove the description to the height including the attachment icon. I did try several settings and hug on the outer container doesn’t solve the problem. Any ideas?

How do I import a file with its component description ready?

When you “detach” a variant of a component and then transform that element into a new component, Figma preserves the component description data and the link to the documentation Is there any parameter that I can declare in the file before importing it that could cause Figma to already consider a description? I have 5397 icons that I would like to import, they all have a comment with the tags that each icon receives. I would like that when I import all the icons and turn them into components, these tags would automatically convert to a description of each component. It’s possible?

Why radius handle not appear?

I find that sometimes the radius handle doesn’t appear when making a new shape. Also, even with the existing shape that I made, the radius handle sometimes does not appear in the shape so I have to type the numer one by one. Can anyone explains this?

Where did I go wrong in my prototype?

Hi! I turned my website wireframe into a prototype within Figma and when I scroll it stays frozen on the top part but shows pieces of the content. I am linking the wireframe. I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. Help is much appreciated! Thanks! Prototype:

UI3 Feedback: Create link shortcuts Cmd/Ctrk K + CmD/CTRL V not working

So I’m in the trial for UI3. So far it is going well. I am able to find everything that I need to do my work and I have been both designing and maintaining the design system for two weeks. I like that the main CTA have moved to the bottom of the screen from the top left. One thing that is bothering me is I can no longer use my shortcuts to quickly create a link. On a mac CMD+ K opens the link box then CMD+ V pastes in the link I copied from elsewhere. (On Windows this would be CTRL+ K then CTRL + V) I use this functionality ALOT in handoffs. Maybe others do too? Also these shortcuts are used across many many applications such as Office 365, Google docs, sheets etc and even here in this text editor. Now CMD + K opens a component search window May I please have the CMD + K shortcut back for links? 🙏 Also can you admins please add a UI3 tag to this forum for additional UI3 feedback. Or is there another place trial users should be logging feedback? TYSM!

"Change variable mode" is still visible after deleted all variables

I don’t want to see or use the variable modes on a layer any more, but they are still visible in the right panel, even after deleting all variables and collections. Is this a bug? It is driving me crazy. It is everywhere. I would need to reconstruct a lot of components, just to get rid od this

Removing Unused Figma Slide Styles

Hey Figma community, Has anyone figured out how to remove Custom Styles from their color selection? It seems as a new set is added whenever I copy and paste an existing design from Figma but this is getting really unruly.

Emojis disappearing from the thumbnails

Hi everyone! I have a problem with emojis disappearing from the thumbnails. As you can see the master file has a gemstone on the cover, but it doesn’t appear on the thumbnail. I designed it last year and everything was perfect, but now when I try to recreate this approach, the emoji just don’t show up on the thumbnails. What’s funny is when I copy the cover from the old files and copy it to the new one, everything works fine, but when I start making changes to the text frame in the copied cover, the emoji disappears from the thumbnail again. Things I tried to do so far: resetting the app clearing the cache building the cover again from scratch It seems like Figma completely lost the ability to show the emojis on the thumbnails for me. Any ideas on how to fix that? Anyone has the same problem?

How to avoid an overlay's scroll position to impact the background screen's position?

Hi Community. I have an overlay with a scrollable area and tabs. When I click on one of the tabs after scrolling on the initial overlay to swap it with another overlay, the background screen also changes the scroll position based on where I was on the original overlay. I tried maintaining the same prefix between the background screen and the two overlays, but it didn’t work. How do I keep the background’s scroll position fixed when I scroll on and swap between overlays? Thank you!

Swapping instances in components imported via a plugin

Hello, I’m experiencing issues with a plugin I have built and I’m asking for help to anyone having experience in building Figma plugins. We have published a plugin that expose various components defined in a dedicated Figma library. The plugin allows user to search and drop items such as buttons, input fields, icons etc… to a Figma canva. The goal is to quickly build wireframes while not attaching too much to UI. Our components use properties a lot to allow for variations, especially the instance swap feature to change icons, brand logos, user avatar, etc. We recently started to have issue with the ability to search for instances (no results) while browsing for result works well (expect awful UX with such long list to scroll). After investigating, we believe this is due to recent changes made on the way one can access external libraries. Users need to add the library to their assets in each file, and the library needs to be in their own workspace, forcing some sort of fork of the orig

How can I export to PDF with transparency?

When I export any objects from Figma to PNG, the result files have the same transparent areas as in original objects. But not in PDF - transparent areas always replace with white color areas! Exporting from Figma, you can see the transparent area around the icon: Result (png), transparency saved: Result (pdf) transparency was replaced with white color:

I can't find the constrains icon in the position panel

Hello, when I practiced on the Auto Layout Playground file, I saw the constraints icon in the position panel on this topic example. However, when I created an auto layout myself, there is no constraints icon in the position panel anymore. Then I clicked other auto layout practice examples on this file and there was no constraints icon as well. Can anyone tell me how to make this icon visible?

Prototype not loading properly

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out today regarding a perplexing issue I’m encountering with a Figma prototype, note that this prototype also has videos. I’ve carefully optimized the videos, ensuring each is well below 1MB in size. Despite these efforts, I’m facing significant loading delays both on desktop and mobile, across various browsers. Even on the Figma app for mobile, it’s prompting me with the message that the prototype is large even after reducing the file sizes. To provide more context and seek help, I’m sharing the link to the prototype and artboard: Art-board Link Here are the key points: Optimization: Videos are compressed and trimmed to keep them under 1MB each. Previous Experience: I’ve successfully handled larger prototypes with normal videos in the past. Loading Issue: Regardless of the browser or device, the prototype is taking an unusual amount of time to load. I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or solutions from the community

Applying auto layout to component sets results in unwanted behavior

Figma introduced some new behavior where, when you add auto layout to a parent frame, child elements of a certain width are automatically set to horizontal fill. Most of the time, this has been helpful and saves me time. However, I generally apply auto layout to my component sets to organize them better, and now when I apply auto layout to a new component set, it applies the new fill rules to the components in the set, which 99% of the time has been exactly what I don’t want to have happen. Usually I want components in the set to remain fixed width, and when they are automatically set to fill, the dimensions are often changed and I have to re-set them. It’s been a pain. So this is worth thinking about, because I’m sure the Figma team doesn’t want to introduce inconsistent behavior for automatically applying auto layout, but in the context of working with component sets I do not want these things to be happening automatically.

I paid for Professional but only have Free features

I paid for Professional months ago (I’ve got the receipts), but when I go to Figma, it keeps showing me “uprgrade to Professional.” I’ve emailed support over a week ago with multiple follow ups, even called from the phone number on the invoice, but have yet to get any reply. How can I get help? Is anyone supporting the Support email (which we’re told to contact for questions)? I know this is a little snarky, but shouldn’t the UX and e2e experience of Figma also extend to customer’s interaction with Figma too? Happy to provide feedback on the experience and how it can be improved should anyone be interested in hearing customers’ feedback 😃
