Hi all, I work with local color styles in a document and the buttons I use in the document are always based on primary and secondary color. For the hover I’ve made styles named “primary alt” and “secondary alt”. However, the document will be used for multiple clients, so the primary and secondary colors will constantly change. Is it possible that I base the hover colors on the primary and secondary colors, but make them slightly darker. So when I change the primary color from green to red, the hover color automatically changes from dark green to dark red. Thank you in advance!

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. After the update i can’t see my left panel with all the layers. The alt 1 or 2 shortcuts are not working, i cant find anyone else with this problem after the update, so i have no idea how to fix this. The only thing i see are my pages and i don’t know how to switch it to my layers. Also why is the view left panel gone from the view tab it was so nice to have? Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi, I have created my first Figma Slides Template to be used by my colleagues (also non-designers) and I am looking for an easy way for them to be able to import excel or google spreadsheet tables into the Figma Slides. I have tried to use the Table to Figma Plug-in, however, it does not work in Figma Slides. All plugins are disabled for me for Figma Slides and it says it is unavailable in view-only. I have a professional plan.

Hello guys Is there a way to divide properties values, like on screenshot?

Hello Figma Community, I’m developing a Figma plugin where the UI sends arbitrary HTML content to the plugin’s main code using parent.postMessage. The main code is then responsible for dynamically converting the HTML structure into Figma nodes on the canvas. Goals: Parse any valid HTML provided by the user (e.g., <div><strong>Hello World</strong></div>). Dynamically generate equivalent Figma nodes (like Frame, Text, Group, etc.) that mirror the HTML structure and styles. Avoid hardcoding specific tag types (e.g., <div> or <span>) so that the plugin works with any HTML. Questions for the Community: Are there best practices or libraries for dynamically converting HTML to Figma nodes? How can I efficiently handle styles and attributes (e.g., inline style or class) from HTML in Figma? Are there any limitations or pitfalls I should be aware of when replicating HTML structures in Figma?

When using Slides via the desktop app on Mac, I can no longer collapse or expand layers in design view? My colleague is also facing the same issue.

edit: I want to create a: “move in” effect. I want an automatic slide between two or more pictures.

Hey @figma, could we have a viewport drawer feature? Something where users can draw a viewport, similar to using a ruler. Thanks!

При работе с некоторыми компонентами и работе с некоторыми страницами очень долгий ответ системы, тоесть когда я копирую мне приходиться ждать пока отлагает фигма не менее 10-20 секунд(в зависимости от элемента), или когда я открываю страницы приходится ждать не менее 20-30 секунд

Hi! I deleted one of the commands by mistake, but unfortunately my icloud was full and the letter did not arrive. How can I restore the command or receive the letter?

Hey there everyone. I’m a student and I’m trying to convert my Figma design into html for my project but I’m unable to do so. I have tried Anima, locofy, teleport and others but they aren’t working. Can anima is paid so I wasn’t able to run it’s code but for others the code is absolutely nothing also prototype isn’t working. Can someone tell me how I can convert the design to HTML? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have been trying to get in contact with someone from Figma to discuss licensing at my enterprise. In order to onboard Figma a risk assessment must be completed and I need a point of contact at Figma to set that up prior to buying a license. I have sent multiple messages via contact form and have not heard back.

I did not see the section to take notes in the Figma Slides. How to put it out? Thanks

I’m trying to create prototype for a desktop landing page where a relative vertical scroll relationship between an image and a text box is maintained at the same time as a page-wide vertical relationship is also maintained. I am essentially trying to mimic vertically scrolling on a page where a text and image pair crawl into the screen according to the user’s scroll input AS well as having the image and text pair crawl at different speeds and also briefly stick together. A more detailed description is in the attached image Does anyone have any idea of how to do this in Figma? I’m not sure if it is even possible in Figma with its prototyping features. If it isn’t, can anyone tell me what UI prototyping. I’ve tried using component prototype functions. But I am honestly stumped.

Hello, I’m developing a plugin, and have been able to bring images to my Express app in a POST by let image = figma.getImageByHash(paint.imageHash) and then running image.getBytesAsync(). Then sending this uint8Array to Express/Multer. Are there going to be similar functions added for video? I tried accessing a video in a prototype using its hash i.e. figma.getImageByHash(video.videoHash) but no luck. Sorry if this isn’t very clear. Thanks and love all the cool new features! All the best, Edan

Is there a way to easily reset a text style to default? When I create a new text field, it usually inherits the most recently used properties - including font family, weight, letter spacing, case, etc. This isn’t always the desired behavior, and it’s tedious to change each property 1 by 1.

With auto layout, everything worked perfectly. Without auto layout, if the instances of the base component are used directly, it works perfectly as well. However, if I create an instance of a base component and then convert it to a component, setting the base component as a nested instance, the different sizes of the base component do not work. Changing the constraints of the base component’s variants somewhat resolves the issue, but the container does not change, leading to unexpected behavior. So, my question is, why does changing the size of instances in the base component work when the instance is used directly (I mean just copy or drag an instance in base component and changing its properties), but not when it’s used as a nested instance? More info: Base component consist of two variants of rectangle (large and small). In nested instances (for changing color) without auto layout (right section of the screenshot), applying large size to the rectangle (green) wont work.

There used to be a way to create a headline in Figma and that seems to have disappeared and been replaced with lines, my engineers first raised the alarms when they couldn’t find the pages they were working on. Feel like there was a more graceful way to make that adjustment.

When applying multiple layers of box-shadow (effects), the CSS code generated by the Dev Mode for the property returns the correct values, but in incorrect order. See image below for the issue breakdown. As anyone experienced this with the Dev Mode handoff tool? Can anyone confirm this bug?

Hi! I had the ai feature on my bar before but now it is missing, even though it is enabled on the settings. My plan is free btw. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

I made a component set with an icon and its name under it. When I create an instance of it and try to replace the icon with another, it’s not possible. I have tried with and without auto-layouts. Can someone please help me solve this?
