I need to remove an icon

I added an icon to my design in Figma, but now I’m unable to delete it. I mistakenly placed it in the prototype bar instead of the design bar, so I can’t remove it from the design view. It only appears in the preview mode.

Does Roboto have different weights in Figma and in Google fonts?

In my Figma project, I’ve selected Roboto as the font. However, upon transferring the project to the developer, an issue arose. He noticed that Google Fonts does not offer the semi-bold (600 weight) variant of Roboto—a version that is available and used in Figma. To investigate further, the developer conducted a test by overlaying text in Roboto with a weight of 600 over text in Roboto with a weight of 700, using Google Fonts. Surprisingly, there was no discernible difference between the two.

Auto-Layout messing with text appearance?

Hello, I’m a learning student and I tried to make a drag-able bottom sheet today with auto-layout. I used Material Design as my design system. The problem I’m having right now is that using auto layout messed with the text size in prototype output. See below attached images: The tab text was supposed to be 40px large, not a small scrunch 😦 Would appreciate some help! Thanks a bunch!

Tooltip Behind Bottom Element in AutoLayout:

I am trying to create a simple table, one of the cells in the table contains a “Tooltip” component. It happens that when the table frame has an autolayout, the tooltip is below the bottom element. While if I remove the autolayout it looks perfect above the bottom element. How can I get result #2 using Autolayou? I hope I have made myself understood, thank you.

Elements turn opaque on scroll (prototype)

I am trying to make a long scroll of semi transparent cards with an animation on the background. For some reason the opacity shows perfectly on the design view but when the transparent elements show on the prototype, they turn opaque killing the effect i had in mind for the animated background. This not only happens with certain elements but with any element in any color thats outside of the initial frame: they turn 100%opaque as soon as they show on the screen. I’m desperate, i have no idea what am i doing wrong and im past the deadline to turn in a prototype. Can any of you help?

External Dev-Seats? Which licenses do they need?

Hi, we use Figma Organization and have an external development team. Since February, the development team can no longer access the dev mode. We do not want to bear the costs for the dev seats ourselves. What licenses would the developers have to buy to access the dev mode of our files?

Switching from Dark to Light Theme with Scroll Action

Hello Figma Community, I’m currently working on a project and encountered a specific design challenge. I’m looking to implement a feature within my design where the theme dynamically changes from dark to light as the user scrolls down the page. This effect is intended to enhance the user experience by gradually transitioning the visual theme based on scroll depth. Has anyone here successfully implemented a scroll-triggered theme change in Figma? If so, could you share insights or tips on how to set this up? Specifically, I’m interested in understanding if there are any plugins, or if custom code is required to achieve this effect. Thank you in advance for your help!

Autolayout component with strikethrough

Hello Figma brains, I am an experienced Figma user and I’ve been able to break the rules with Figma to design some pretty cool auto-layout components for ease of use and responsiveness. BUT, this one I don’t think I can break so going to see if anyone else can figure this one out. I might actually be overthinking this and it’s actually a simple process LOL. Currently, I’ve designed this size button. It’s responsive and works perfectly. But now I want to add another variant which shows a “disabled/out of stock” state. Usually I would just grey this out to make it look disabled but for this particular component I want to have a strike-through. I want it to still remain in auto-layout and still be as responsive as my other ones. Usually I would do this differently (add the strikethrough as an image but responsiveness isn’t quiet as good haha). The strike-through is behind the text and behind the border in this design. Again, I’m probably overthinking this. Any help is appreciated!

Fixed to bottom disappears in prototype + vertical scroll not working

A few months ago, Figma decided to move scroll behaviors in prototype panel, and change the way they used to work. When I set a tabbar as “Fixed” to bottom, the tabbar disappears in prototype view. It appears only if I resize the mobile frame to real screen size. This means that engineer incorrectly implemented the “Fixed to bottom” behaviors as “position relative to top”. As a result, I can’t scroll vertical content if I resize screen to show tabbar… “Vertical scroll” and “fixed to bottom” are incompatible since the update, can @Figma fix this asap? I reported the issue several months ago… Proposed fix: tell engineer to implement “fixed to bottom” as “position relative to bottom”. That way, tabbar would be fixed to bottom regardless of screen size, and content would be scrollable vertically.

Change instance variant independently with variables

Hi. I only recently learned how to use variables in Figma. So I have a set of instances of the same component and I want them to interact between each other. Basically, it’s a bike icon and I want that when you click on one it goes to variant2 (selected) and the other instances remain on the default variant (unselected). How can I do this? I attach image.

Weird Glitches on Screen Only with Figma - Help?

Hey everyone! I’ve hit a bit of a snag and could really use some collective brainpower. Every time I dive into Figma (doesn’t matter if it’s the web or desktop app), my screen starts freaking out with these wild lines and noise, then just gives up and crashes. 🤯 It’s like a digital abstract painting I never asked for. This glitchy party is a Figma-exclusive event, doesn’t happen with any other apps. It happens 5 seconds after I open any Figma file

Trouble organizing the assets panel

Hello, Let’s say I have some frames, each containing a few components that are logically related to each other: frame 1, frame 2, frame 3. Now, I need to group these 3 frames together (or frame them together), to create, let’s say, ”Parent Frame”. The goal is to get this hierarchy in the assets panel: click on the Parent Frame => I see frame 1, frame 2 and frame 3 => click on frame 1=> I see the components contained by frame 1. However, it doesn’t seem to work, as when I click on Parent Frame, I see all the components of frames 1, 2 and 3 put together, as if frame 1, frame 2, frame 3 never existed and all the components were children of Parent Frame. How can I make this work? Thanks.

Cannot assign variable that is resolved as FLOAT to text node via API

I have a list of variables that I want to apply to text nodes. These variables are numbers. I want to do it via API because there are a lot of them. The problem is that when I try to bind these variables using the “node.setBoundVariable” function, the resolved type for the variable is “FLOAT” and not “STRING”, which is correct, but this prompts the error : “in setBoundVariable: variable of resolved type ‘FLOAT’ cannot be bound to this field”. I undestand that the text node was expecting a string but I can bind the number variable to text manually in the software and I even have a scoping section for “text” when opening the options for the number variable.
