Hi everyone, I’m working on replicating Figma elements in a React frontend. The goal is to replicate the exact position, size, and style of the selected element in Figma, using the data sent by the Figma plugin. What I’ve Done I’m receiving the data from the Figma then try to send it to frontend. const selection = figma.currentPage.selection; figma.ui.postMessage({ type: "selection-changed", selection}); In frontend, try to render with that data. useEffect(() => { window.onmessage = (event) => { const { type, selection} = event.data.pluginMessage; if (type === "selection-changed" && selection) { setElements(selection); } }; return () => { window.onmessage = null; }; }, []); return ( <div className="work-board"> <div className="main-board"> <div className="drop-board"> {elements.length === 0 ? ( <p>Select a frame or two to get started</p&

Hello, today I was experimenting until I stumbled apon The Figma Logo > Preferences > Color Profile… Then I changed the Preferred color Profile from sRGB to Display P3 Now I cannot change it to sRGB no matter what, it just toggles it back to Display P3 I have tried changing platforms and devices, I tried using Figma on Chrome and it has the same config set. Unless I change accounts it will have the same issue across all devices and platforms. Can someone tell me what to do? I don’t want to make a new account just because of this 1 bug.

Clicking on the effects is no longer letting me view the settings of an effect. I am working on a MacBook. At some point the toolbox opened, but now it stoped working.

I work with many designers who use the free version of Figma, which I can’t use dev mode for. If I subscribe and have a professional team subscription, can I view the designs of these free accounts with dev mode, or does it only work if those accounts all subscribe individually?

I am exporting an image with shadow and there will be white pixelated halo around it. I tried to follow another similar post with the usage of “Show behind transparent areas” but I can’t find it.

When I need to change it, I find that I can no longer see the effect of the previous Settings. Probably because I copied/pasted the components. I wanted to find a way to see the interaction. In the case of demo/preview You can see the effects of the previous interaction.

Data: 500 - {“detail”:“404: User not found”}Status: 0StatusText: Error Figma App works fine…(with google login) can anyone help ?

Hi I’m having some issue with PDF that I exported in Figma. When I open pdf file with my computer ( with Acrobat ) it has no issue. However when I try to open the same pdf file with my phone it crashes and whenever I scroll down the pages it bumps back up to the first page. Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

If I purchase a seat on an annual plan and assign it to a user, can I later reassign the seat to a different user if needed

I have a frame with two gradients with multiple stops in each. In Dev Mode with the code set to SwiftUI, it shows the two LinearGradients with an array of stops for each. When I change the code to Compose, I get no mention of the gradients, just a couple lines for a Column arrangement and then literally // Child views. This wasn’t the case prior to Dev Mode and now I’m having to ask my Android engineer to translate from the Swift values. Is this something that’s just not wired up yet? (There’s a FigJam · Bugs tag but no Figma · Bugs?)

Yesterday Figma mirror (iOS) has stopped showing images and some frames with images in mirrored layouts. Prior to that, everything worked fine. I updated the app but the problem is still there.

in terms of the enterprise What does this mean and what are the benefits of advanced design systems?

Hi, I’m using the LottieFiles plugin to export an animation to Framer. It looks great in the Figma LottieFiles panel, but when I upload it to Framer, (using the Lottie element) the pictures do not render. Does anyone have a fix for this? I’ve also tried using the dotlottie extension instead, with the same results.

Hi, Is there any more detailed documentation on the on drag trigger apart from general article on prototype triggers (https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040035834-Prototype-triggers)? This trigger seems to have a few condition to work I think (eg. like content expanded over parent component frame … I think at least, etc). Are these conditions documented somewhere? At the moment I am especially interested in 2 questions concerning this trigger: a. Can on drag trigger ever pair with “open an overlay” action on a parent frame? b. Can on drag actually ever work out of a component (apart from setting variables, which I have tested, that it can do out of a component)?

When we try to upload an Asian language font (example: https://codeberg.org/nobles5e/fonts-for-figma-bug-report/raw/branch/main/Medium.ttf ), on Admin > Resources > Fonts page, it takes forever to complete the request.

After the latest update, I’m unable to change my styles due to an icon alignment issue in the UI. Whenever I hover over the styles, the icon shifts downward, preventing me from opening and modifying them. This behavior is happening both in the Figma app and browser.

I feel I can’t measure two elements as I did before. For example, if I select the grey box and press Option, the red line distance won’t show.

Hi there, I’m trying to optimise our people and billing. Developers only need to view and inspect code and elements, they don’t need to edit or create. Can I set all developers to viewer-restricted (design seat) and full seat (dev-mode)? Or does Figma force us all to have both ticked in as full to earn more money? 😕 /Magnus

Hi all, Is there service disruptions currently? I’m facing a number of issues including Dashboard/Home area staying in a skeleton state and not showing projects Colours imported from our design system not showing. All our libraries look to have bee removed as I’m seeing the ‘Add to file’ button and they’re not letting me re-add. When leaving comments, they’re not showing on the Figma board after the comment is submitted. I still get the notification but just can’t see where it is on the board. Any suggestions to fix would be much appreciated. Thanks

im tryig to add fill to my vector shape and its not filling, well although at some point the shape is not pne lomg connecting line but few broken lines to complete the shape, would that have been the issue?

Do they have Gift Cards towards Figma Subscription? The annual subscription tier as a gift is pricey, do they have gift cards for subscription of different increments like couple of months? Thanks for replying

Currently, there is no way to select the value for “Value” from the Variable Library when using the following setup: Interaction: “While Hovering” Action: “Set Variable” Target: [Color from Variable Library] I would like to have the option to select the value by choosing from an already defined color variable.

For my Primitives, I have added the Neutral colours as hex codes, light and dark use separate palettes and don’t pull from the same palette. When I go to map my Primitives to their Semantic names, the dark mode column shows the same colours as the light mode. There’s no way for me to add the dark mode primitives I’ve defined before. Also, to preview how my design will look in dark mode I have to switch both Semantic/Primitive modes in order to see the theme change. Is there a better way I could do this?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it’s possible to have an “drag and hold” picture carrousel. By this I mean that while on prototype mode the user can drag the pictures and change their place, just like when we do an Instagram post and we want to put some pictures first. Is it possible to prototype something like this? Thank you for taking the time Ap

I created two squares using the rectangle tool, both using the same border radius on the bottom left corner. However, one of the square seems to apply the radius on the wrong corner. I checked the rotation and it doesn’t seem to have any flips or rotation applied. Is this a bug?
