i’m new to Figma and i’m more used to Canva, how do i make an animation?

Hello, in the new UI, a component’s status dropdown/popup is tiny even though there’s enough space. I cannot see the names of my variants.

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. Hey guy, i m facing the problem, for responsive, why fill container is not showing in the constraints window.

All my screens are included in the prototype while playing except for the last 2 screens. I checked them in the layers tab and they are same as other screen layers. I don’t understand why is this happening. Please help

I am trying to use the eyedropper tool to copy a color that exists in an image that I have copied into figma. Can’t get the eyedropper tool to appear once I’ve selected the image. Not sure what to do.

Bring old UI back. I used it without any problem, now i can’t find tools properly, and toolbar why it’s bottom of the screen, it’s distracting me and it’s really annoying and it’s really lagging a lot, why separate Position and Dimentions? Almost in every design app these tool are next to each other. Everything was perfect untill UI3. If you don’t wanna change it then let people downgrade the version. I need prev version which I used almost a YEAR. Then i was able to attach files to community where is it and why i can’t attach anything? It says new users can’t attach files, i’m using community over for over a month.

I already have UI3 with the update but I don’t have access to AI

Please tell me how to return to the old version of Figma? Many people say that you need to click the question in the lower right corner, and “Go back to previous UI”, but I don’t have this item.

For some reason, I’m not able to switch to UI2 from UI3. The option is completely missing for me.

Component appears fine in the library but appears incorrectly in the assets section

уменьшились панели инструментов. Как вернуть?

As a startup owner, staying up-to-date with the latest tools is crucial, and I’m still waiting to receive the new Figma UI update that many users have already got. Despite my excitement to explore the new features, the update hasn’t reached my account yet. I’ve checked for updates on my end but had no luck. Could you kindly look into this and let me know if there’s anything holding it back? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, Is there a plugin/way to make these kinds of cool looking squares/circles fluidly connecting with each other on the edges like the picture below? I can’t even google a tutorial because I don’t know what the style is called… Thank you in advance!

So i see this issue still persists. When i change the component in my library that is a separate file and i publish changes, in my design files i can see that the component in assets panel shows the updated version but but not across my design layouts. And still I do not get the prompt window where i can review the updates and changes. i have cleared the cache in my desktop app.

am i the only one or your boolean group feature also not working?

TLDR: I need the functionality of the previous UI in terms of color selection and changing. As you can see in this image This is the selection colors. The previous UI doesn’t remove automatically what’s changed. And I need that when creating light and dark mode. Now it automatically just removes the changed color, I need it to stay for a while so I can change them all equally.

Stop pushing trash and updating things which were working very well. Nobody cares if you have a floating UI bar in bottom which obstructs items on the workspace or has rounded corners. Stop it pls. If UI designers don’t have any job other than push unwanted updates then give them some other more meaningful jobs, stop pushing unwanted changes which nobody asked.

I am learning Figma and loving it. I have a small startup and i’m trying to wireframe the web app we’re making. Right now I’m on " Figma For Beginners: Explore ideas (1/4)" video on the official figma youtube channel. I created a free account and appears that can’t follow the tutorial any further because team library is required. Do I need to subscribe to pro license as a beginner or is there a way I can work around it for a while until i get better?

Over the past week, my Figma desktop hasn’t worked i am on Windows 11 with pretty decent specs., it works fine on the browser but not on my desktop the background process is showing in the task manager but it won’t draw any power from the CPU. I tried clearing the cache memory, turning off the firewall, and fresh installing it but whenever I open the setup it buffers, and shows the Figma symbol, and that’s it! It won’t ask me for the location to install or if I want a desktop/start menu file. Then if I search for Figma it shows that the app is installed but still won’t open and the Figma agent is open in the background without drawing any power. PLEASE HELP!!!

As a regular user of Shift+I for quick component insertion and Alt+Click for overriding components, I’ve encountered issues with these shortcuts in the new UI. Despite my reliance on these actions, they still don’t function properly in UI3. This was a key reason I initially chose not to adopt UI3, and it’s why I remain hesitant to switch. Please address this issue.

I am trying to create a dynamic component which contains: text with a background which grows vertically when text spills over 1 line a dot that is sits beside the text and stays centrally aligned to the background when the text frame grows. The problem I am having is that the component that these live within, doesn’t grow with the frame. This is making it difficult to space elements below it because the distance is inaccurate as the component box has not grown. Difficult to explain but any help would be really appreciated!

Hello While working in a project (not necessarily loaded with many objects or completely empty), after some time of work (random), the project seems to update the page. The project tab becomes “New Page”, gray screen. You have to close the project and enter it again. I can’t figure out what the problem is

When selecting multiple frames, it used to have a shortcut in the top to create a section around selected frames. I coudn’t find a way to do it on the new UI.

I have a component that stacks a list of tasks, and each task can be replaced by a group of tasks. The component itself works fine, but when I change an instance, the elements of the instance are restored to the height of the original element in the component, ignoring the “Hug” height setting that has been applied to each element. This means that if I have a hidden group and an expanded group in the original component, after an interaction cycle (open-close, close-open) in the instance, when expanding the hidden group again, it will have the height of the hidden group instead of adjusting the height to the expanded group. In the second case, if I hide the expanded group, it will retain the height of the expanded group.

It would be awesome if there was a badge notification on the Figma desktop app. I miss notifications all the time because I don’t check Figma that often, but it would be great if (like Slack) there was the red badge on the ap icon in my dock. #1 feature request right now - it would make my life (ad my designers) SOOO much better.
