I cannot add the dropdown component to the calendar variant. Previously, when I worked with variants, I didn’t encounter such issues. I’ve tried ungrouping the inner layers, resetting the auto layout, detaching the dropdown component, and inserting it into the calendar variant, but none of these approaches have worked. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi there Figma Community I am currently working on a project, where one of the clients is a blind woman. For this I was looking into the accessibility features from Figma and was delighted, that Figma itself works with general screen reader. I noticed now, that screen reader only works with texts & images, but as we are still in a very abstract phase of the prototyping process, we have a lot of things like “lines as stand in for text blocks” etc. As far as I can see, I can’t manually mark something as “read this element in a screen reader” so it would be able to “see” the element to be read out loud and read the title of a marked frame/shape/etc. Or does anyone know about an option that I didn’t realise is there? If there isn’t an option like this, it would be great to have something like this in the feature, as for now prototypes already need to be very hi-fi to actually be able to share with a blind person, which, in my opinion, is too late in the process to create the best solut

I am working on a project with a team that is using Helvetica Neue. The team has sent the Helvetica files to me, though when I install it on my end it registers as HelveticaNeue. When I go into the figma design file it identifies font in the file and the font I have on my machine as two different fonts. The design file registers as Helvetica Neue(with a space) for the team and HelveticaNeue(no spaces) for my profile. I have tried renaming the files to match. Uninstalling and reinstalling the font. Tried on the browser and the desktop app, but no luck. Has anyone else experienced this? The team is all using macs, while I am on a windows device, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

As I have these settings: But when the icon instance stands in different order, it returns different alignment to the section Is that intended or is that a bug?

Hi everyone! Not new to Figma, but for some reason the following melts my brain =) I’d appreciate your kind help on how to best prototype it. Variables are ok, I have a paid account. Here is the situation: a button with 3 states (default, hover, pressed). When hovered, it should go to “hover” state. This is easy. Now, when pressed, I need the button text to change. A becomes “grayed out” and B becomes “active”. The button should stay in this state until I press it again (A becomes “active” and B becomes “grayed out”). What are the optimal ways to prototype this? Thanks a lot!

Hello guys, I didnt use Figma in the last couple of months and i had couple of files that somehow got deleted after the last big update. I searched in all ‘recents’ ‘dafts’ ‘deleted drafts’ and in many more tabs and didnt find anything. it just doesnt exist. can someone help me find those files somehow? thank you 🙂

Dear Figma Support Team, I recently encountered an issue with my account. After I left a team that was created by another person, all my personal drafts disappeared. This includes drafts that were created both before I was added to the team and after. I’ve checked everywhere, including the “Recent” section and the trash, but I am unable to locate them. These files were very important to my work, and I hope you can help me recover them. Could you please assist in resolving this issue?

Hi, Right now I’m in Educator plan & I can’t leave to Starter plan. How can I change my plan? Please help 😊

Hello friends, I noticed the only permission scope of Figma authentication via OAuth2 is “file_read”, but this is too much for me. In my circumstances, users are posting some data to my server inside the Figma plugin, for which I only have to get a valid user identity, not an access to their Figma files. I think it’s very similar to those “Sign in with Google/Facebook” buttons, does Figma provide something like this? A “Sign in with Figma” button?

If there is a master component that is inserted into another component. They have Base Text properties added to the component properties. If such a component is added to another component and switched via a variable, then the changed properties will stop working.

Hello, how (the hell) can i access the figma.com website when i’m logged in in the browser? I always end up on my project dashboard. Is this question ridiculous? Yes, Figma, it is.

How do you send just one Prototype Frame/Page (home page) to a client to view in a browser? They do not want something that opens in Figma. This should be simple, but they are getting all of the pages.

Hello everyone, I am new to Figma and I am trying to remove mixed border radius but it does not show anything when I click on the border radius for the element. I have removed the locker from the element and so on but nothing ahppens. Is there anything I am not knowing how to do?

Currently the SVG export in Figma excludes any vector shapes that cannot be see due to a mask at the time of export. I understand why this was an intentional optimization and I don’t see a way to disable it, but because it is useful for a niche use of SVG graphics I’m working on I wanted to double check and see if anyone knew of a way to change this behavior or work around it. For example, Figma also excludes elements with a 0 width stroke or that are fully transparent, but that can be worked around by making a very small stroke or alpha (0.01). I can’t think of an equivalent solution for elements that are fully clipped by a mask.

Problem: If I create a red rectangle from the color library and create a component from it, Figma automatically fills the fill in white and sets it to invisible even though I had previously set it to red. I have been working with Figma for 3 years, 5 days a week and more than 8 hours a day, this functionality is completely new and illogical to me. I have watched older YouTube videos where a component is created and you can see that this stupid feature was not there. Does anyone have any idea why Figma introduced this? It creates an extra step that is completely unnecessary by deleting the white and replacing it with the actual color.sting! Befor After

My fonts are not showing on Figma, I tried opening in icognito, restarting my laptop, force quitting, literally anything but the fonts are still not working. Is there any way around this? I am not being able to use Figma anymore because of this problem.

I have noticed that design mode is a paid feature of Figma slides. Is this a final decision? I really like using Figma and its amazing features to create stunning slides for my presentations. Taking design mode away feels so limiting. Also, is this just limited to slides, or is this change also coming to the normal Figma design mode?

Is it possible to use Figma.ui.resize(width: number, height: number) to change the size of the plugin window during runtime? I would like to offer 2 different sizes of the plugin, if the user wants it…

Hello! I have been working in Figma basics. I uploaded a ton of pictures in Figma to decide on my profile layout. Unfortunately, couple of minutes after, Figma crashed and all I see when I open my project is just orange background. I do not see any of the elements I already created. When I log in to my iPad, I can see everything. I thought that it is about pictures, so I deleted them, but on my computer nothing changed. I cannot open the project and see all my work, just orange background. Please help!

We have a component set with some variables. When using instances, we used to replaced the variables for new local variables. It worked fine, now it is not working properly. It tends to reuse the original one from the component. I’m willing to share the file with Figma support. This is very serious issue as or design system heavily uses variables on components.

Do you have noticed renewed colour in Figma logo? It is too sharp I guess.

I am using a wireless mouse and if I try to move my mouse, the screen starts shaking automatically even after I don’t use my mouse and after a couple of seconds it stops but creates difficulty while designing.

I have a problem downloading Figma it says to check the setup log

I’m just working with FigJam (in Figma Windows 11 app), and my cursor converted to strange hand sometimes to a few seconds. Why this happened, what it’s mean and how I can disable this? (I’m in solo project.)
