Overlay behaviour

Hi, is it correct that CLOSE-OVERLAY and SWAP-OVERLAY only works when applied as an interaction inside an overlay that is currently displayed in a prototype? Which means I cannot have an interaction external to an overlay that will apply CLOSE-OVERLAY on an overlay currently in display? Also, will prototype not register any interaction input outside of an overlay as long as it is displayed with the exception of ‘Click outside to close’ option from an overlay?

Why does Figma not allow designers to change variant functions in prototypes with push transitions?

I want to have a child connected to a master, which is a combined variant. I need to change that variant with a push transition in a prototype. There are no signs or guides explaining why this feature is unavailable. Does anyone know a hack even if Figma doesn’t prioritize this feature?

Please help me create this basic design

Hey people, I’m an email marketer doing design on Figma for a few months, and there are still some simple design techniques that I haven’t been able to learn, particularly because I just don’t know what to search for on Google/YouTube. I’ve attached a design of a wine bottle, but the element is half inside a shape, and half out. Can someone give me a quick step-by-step (or better, a Loom) on how to do this please? I’m assuming it isn’t that difficult, I’m just still learning. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for communities/forums/subreddits/YT channels that discuss and showcase Figma designs? Particularly for brand emails, landing pages, and/or product ads. Thanks so much! Andreas

Nested instance swap with hover state causes unexpected behavior when switching between variants

I have a component that switches variants when hovered. I use this component inside another component as an instance swap that when clicked opens a menu. This is put into another component which causes the issue. When the menu opens and you un-hover, it switches back to the original instance swap component. Here’s a video of the issue: Here’s a link to a file showcasing the problem: https://www.figma.com/file/EEwfAfdvxUZVvhVah4D2Eg/Nested-instance-swap-with-hover-state-causes-unexpected-behavior-when-switching-between-variants?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=iun0muPecW2phb10-1 Things that stop this behavior: Detaching the final component Removing hover state I’ve looked at other topics and couldn’t find a fix for this. Have any idea what could fix this?

Issue of Discrepancy in Auto Layout Spacing Across Team Members' Devices

Hello Figma Forum, Our team has been encountering an issue with inconsistent spacing while working on designs using Auto Layout recently. Despite setting the same spacing, it appears differently on devices belonging to different team members. While the spacing looks normal on my computer, it inconsistently either narrows or widens on other team members’ devices. Although double-clicking often rectifies this, it could lead to misunderstandings for those encountering it for the first time. Could you please share insights into the cause and possible solutions for this problem? Specifically, we’re interested to know if similar cases have been reported and what might be causing it. Thank you.

Apply variables to component variants and link to another Figma file

Hello, everyone. I have a prototype linked to a Component Library file. I’m applying a language switching mode using variables. The thing is, I can’t create the variables in a set of grouped components that contain variants. Do you know how to apply variables in this situation and link them to different files? E.g. I’m going to use in my hi-fi file a component containing variants coming from my Component Library file, how do I make this component respond to a variable?

Icon color override sometimes not working

Sometimes, the icon colors in my components reset, and I can’t figure out why. I’m working in my design system, and all my icons are flattened, so the structure and layer names are the same. Most of the time, my overrides work fine, but occasionally, a random icon doesn’t work. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Could this be a bug?

How to combine local variables in a file with components from a seperate design system library

Hi, I’ve been playing around with variables and I’ve set up a text string collection for populating dropdowns. However, setting this up right, I had to detach the component from our design system library, because I needed to connect the collections to the layer in the component itself. As I understand, this is not possible on an instance level. How do you deal with this? Obviously, detaching is not the way I want to go, since I miss the updates on the component.

Plugins all are finnicky/not working

Hi! I’m new to Figma. I tried using several plugins, including the Arc and Anima plugins, but none of them seem to be working. I’m following tutorials. For example, the Arc one won’t curve my text and just creates a new blank text component, and the Anima one won’t sync. I’ve tried using Safari, Chrome, as well as the Figma desktop app, and two different laptops to no avail.

Sharing prototype link without live updates

Hello, I am wondering if I can share a prototype link, but I don’t want my client to see all the updates that I am doing on live. For example: My client ask some modifications and while I am doing them, my client want to be able to look at the project if maybe he forgot something, but I don’t want them to see the real-time work that I am doing until my next meeting with them. Is there a way to do so? I have the Professional plan

Bring to front prototype interaction

Hello, I’m wondering if there is a way to bring to front a layer (layer order wise) when I’m adding interaction from a variant to another one? I will try to explain myself a little bit more with context. I have a tiles grid and each tiles have different states (default, hovered, active, disabled…). The different tile states are covered with variants and I add at some point, interaction between a state to another state (basically, from the default to the hovered, I put a While hovering). Does it have a way to say to the interaction “While hovering, Change to variant xx and bring the component to front”? Why I’m asking that, it’s because my “Hovered” state is changing its color but also its size, meaning that in a mosaic grid, the tiles are overlaping each other, especially when one is in a “Hovered” state. I tried many ways and didn’t found the solution yet. In For reference, in Axure, it’s the feature “Bring Dynamic Panel to Front”. Thanks
