Anyone know how to do something similar to this in Figma? Specifically talking about the second section! I like how the boxes on the left stack and collapse as you scroll. Secure and powerful crypto wallet | Ctrl Wallet

Hi, everyone 👋 I’m diving into survey design and analysis as a part of my coursework, and I’m conducting a quick research study to gather insights on FigJam’s usability. If you’re a FigJam user, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could take 5-7 minutes to share your feedback. Google Docs Thank you so much for your time and for helping out with my research! 😊

I have a Mac Studio M1 Max 64gb of ram. Safari 16.1 Mac OS Ventura 13.0 I successfully installed FigmaAgent Chrome can see my local fonts correctly Can’t get Safari to see local fonts. Any ideas?

I have seen the documentation, it is hard to find the usage with python, with populating the data, I would like to know how this can be done with python, and if not, then any other way, automated way. Thanks in advance.

As shown below, when doing one of the animations it turned out fine, then when I copied it to another one, and matched everything up just like I did last time, it looks really bad and is very confusing. video here Project Link

Hi, is anyone else experiencing a buggy library sinds the new library update? Pushing updates takes ages to show in files where the library is added. When the update is shown in the file and you update your components nothing changes? you need to refresh the tab? Cheers, Sanny

I am making a music app for a school project. I am trying to do a horizontal line of a few items, which has a white square, image placed on top of the square and a title next to it. I was using the flatten button to do the first few items on the left, but then for some reason it stopped working. Whenever I would select the white background, the image and the text to flatten, the image would blow up and warp, but stay within the confines of their original size. This was the case no matter if I merged the image and the box first, or the image and the text, or the text and the box, etc. Same issue when trying to use ‘union selection’, except when I went to take a screenshot it started making all the elements disappear except one so that’s fun

Why are my side panels not undocking (even though it is UI3, they are fixed on (constrained on) sides and top and bottom. I really love the new UI3 look, really frustrated that I could not see it in my interface. 😥

I created a vector (on the left) from a picture (on the right). I’m wondering how to fill different parts of the figure with different colors? And related question: Left hand of Shmebulock is splitted from the arm with a narrow line. When I tried change width for path segment only the whole path is changed. So, my goal is to fill gaps with different colors and to have some of segment narrow.

Hello, I’v had this issue on few projects. Text layer is not hidden, but cannot visible on a screen. If I click text on a screen, then it sudden appears. It’s same visible issue with presentation mode, too. I guess it’s about memory issue, because many objects inside the project. What’s about? And how to solve this issue? Please help.

In Figma Slides, I can’t seem to edit the bounding boxes on text. This makes it impossible for example to change the font of a subsentence because it can’t be selected. “How can I make the blue box bigger without making the text bigger too?”

Is there a way to substitute the values of inherited variables from other files in my library? For instance, I want to have the color variable “Error” be #ff4040 in master file while having that very same variable be #F02090 in a different file I’m working on- Additionally that variable is being used in various asset instances that I call from the master file. So, if I inserted an asset component with “Error”(#ff4040) background color from my library, it would have #f02090 as its background in the current file.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to open a file, but it wont load. I have the same problem in desktop app and online. When I trying to open this file, I got this tip “we experiencing issue open this file”. Can anyone help me? I need to open the file again. I can open other files, but not that one. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found a way to set up top-level frames so that they auto-resize in height (or width) based on the content in the artboard?

I have a menu component that is built from instances of a link component. The link component has the usual variants (default, selected, etc). I’m using instances of the menu component across the page in different views. In each view I have applied the selected state to a different link. When I update the copy of the links in the menu component it gets updated in the instances BUT not for the links for which I have applied the selected state previously. In order to update the copy for all instances I need to reset all changes for the instances and then apply the selected states again. What am I missing, why don’t the text updates get pushed to the nested instances?

I have been working on a Dropdown Component, this component has been made by combining multiple Dropdown Item Component. After prototyping and declaring this new component, the bug I am facing is when I use an instance of it and update values as per the requirement, for example a dropdown is for colors - Red, Blue, Green, then dropdown header would be Select Colors, clicking over it, dropdown would expand and show items - Red, Blue, Green, now if user has selected Blue from Menu, dropdown will collapse and dropdown header would change to Blue as that item has been selected, but in prototype when I select any item the header text doesn’t change it shows me the default value that I declared in the original component The instance only works smoothly if I don’t update values.

In desktop app for windows it is showing blurry text & icons, I checked with other third party software all of them looks crisp & clean like Slack, Microsoft & Adobe apps, But with Figma it is showing me this blurry icons & now i am very frustrated after seeing it for long

Doing a single turn of the mouse wheel scrolls the selection 5 miles, causing me to skip some plugins and lose my overview. I dont want to change my Windows settings because of a single app scrolling too much. This would not be a problem if a scrollbar existed.

Is there a way to detach a text style from a textNode through the Figma API?

Hey, we are working on a quite complex prototype at the moment and stumbled upon a issue with variable modes and component variants. Ill try to break it down as best as I can: In our product users have the option to link an account to reveal additional links that arent visible initially. To achieve that, we build several components with 2 variants distinguishable with a boolean “linked”. In our prototype we switch between this linked-status via a variable mode. So a user can go through the linking process and said components change from “linked=false” to “linked=true” to reveal additional options. This works without a problem and the UI changes as expected. But now we run into the issue how to further link the now shown options. When we change the variable mode globally to “linked” we gain access to the additional options and can give them navigation interactions. But these given interactions wont work when switching the mode dynamically in the prototype. Here is image for more contex

We are using an ‘on drag’ (as there is still no ‘swipe’) interaction to emulate a carousel of cards. Pretty standard stuff. Works great on desktop and on mobile view on a desktop, but when viewed on an actual mobile devices it is really unstable. We carry out user testing with real users on real devices and this needs to work much better as it makes our prototypes un testable. Is there anything in the roadmap to improve this feature? Thanks!
