Hi All, I am using instance swap for some components, But I am facing the problem where the swapped instance does not inherit the color of the component, instead it is using the original color of the master component. Can anybody share some workaround for this problem?

Don’t make me think so hard! I’m busyyyy

Hey designers, is not possible get the responsive behaviour in the Present mode? Here you can see if i resize my frame inside design mode what happens but not on present mode resizing the window Tried a bunch but nothing really worked Appreciate any suggestion

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help with this issue please? When I try to view a prototype in Full Screen, the graphics become blurry (I’ve attached an image of the problem). If it’s not in full screen, the graphics are perfectly fine. I’m encountering this problem in Chrome and in the Desktop App. I’m working on a 27-inch iMac 2020. I’ve checked my internet connection and checked my pixel preview is disabled. When I present prototypes to clients, it’s frustrating when the graphics appear so fuzzy. Is anyone else encountering this or know of a fix please? Thanks!

Hi, I have a mobile prototype version that works properly on my desktop/laptop. However, when I test it on a real mobile device, some random buttons and functions do not work. After refresh sometimes it works again sometimes not. Has anyone experienced this issue before? Do you have any suggestions for a solution? Thank you! This is quite urgent. 🙂

When I start the prototype, only some of the elements of the design show up. The rest is blank. How do I fix this?

Trying to resolve conflicts in a branch before merging, the conflicts are not loading and after some time the screen turns blank with the error showing ‘Figma ran into a problem’. Unable to merge a branch to main file. Need support?

Hello All, my organization want to subcribe Figma enterprise version, after click “contact sales” and fill my email and basic information for several days, still no sales people contact me. Is there any other channel to contact sales for this？ Thanks in advance.

Hi, just wanted to know why Figma collects the following information – in data privacy-speak, what is the purpose of collection: age of user/student year of graduation of user/student Our risk and compliance office will not let us use this on campus unless we get clarity on this matter. Thank you.

trying to add a distressed effect to text. I saw someone do it with creating a mask, but can’t quite figure it out.

Figma released a new update and now drafts are moved to teams? I’m not in a team what happened to my drafts and designs?

I’ve been asked to update the component library to support a brand redesign. Looking for resources (especially YouTube videos) on the quickest and easiest way to do this work. I could have sworn I saw a talk about this during ConFig, but I can’t recall now. Regardless, anything would help. Thanks!

Is there a way to do this? I only see an option to export to PDF.

I am planning to buy a MacBook. But cannot decide which one to buy between MacBook pro M2 or MacBook air m3 (both are the very basic 8g ram 13-inch model). The pro M2 has an active cooling so it may take more load without lagging the performance. Which one to buy?

Looking under the hood at Figma’s “Simple design system”, there’s a “Responsive” collection, with variables for “Root font size” and “Scale”… These look like they could be implementing a REM-based font-size approach - if the “Scale” variable could be used in variable calculations, which to my knowledge, it still cannot yet… I gather that “#Scale03” could be used to change the font size to a different scale variable depending on the mode selected (Desktop/Mobile/Tablet) - but it isn’t leveraging that “Scale” on the other hand looks like it could be a multiplier, so that (Example: a 16px font size in desktop would be 20px (16*1.25) on mobile… but I’m not sure what this is actually doing here… I haven’t fully watched all of Config24 sessions yet, so I apologise if this is a dumb question covered in any talks. Anyone know what this does? Thanks

I have a big presentation tomorrow but the prototype keeps glitching. My colleague is sitting next to me and buttons aren’t clickable on her prototype link unless I open the Figma file from my own laptop, then it works on her screen. What is this?

Figma Desktop App on macOS: Shortcut for Zoom-Out does not work correctly Somehow the shortcut to change the mouse into a zoom-out tool doesn’t work as expected anymore. For years, this important shortcut (exactly like in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) always was: • Zoom+ or zooming in: Space+Command plus mouse click • Zoom- or zooming out: Space+Command+Option plus mouse click To be more precise, the current situation is as follows: If you press Space+Command+Option, the mouse pointer turns into the zoom icon just for a very short moment, but does not stay that way. This means that you cannot zoom out as usual using a combination of shortcut and click. It feels like a bug and I hope that this will be fixed soon. Anybody else experiencing this faulty behaviour?

In the component, I want to open and close a certain area in the menu on each click? When I create a condition for it, I can provide this operation, but how can I use the animate properties? Or is it a wrong method?

Hey all, I can not for the life of me work out how to stop items from showing in libraries. I published a v1 of a design system and after a period of time published a new library. There are similar components such as buttons. I no longer want the buttons from the DS1 to show in files, I’ve removed it from the file within the design file itself, but items still show in the libraries. I’ve even gone as far as deleting the file and it still shows in published libraries. Now I just have components showing that I can still take the instance from and if i click to view the main component I just get an error. Have no idea how to stop them from showing up and help would be awesome. Thanks in advance

In Figma I use the colour profile: sRGB But I’m not sure what the best colour profile to use for my Display (iMac Retina 5k 2019) Any help / advice would be much appreciated 🙂

Hi everyone, I’ve started using Figma’s slide deck for my presentations. When I enter present mode and interact with the prototype, I get stuck when trying to move to the next slide. Does anybody know the shortcut to move into the next slide? When I don’t use the prototype I can easily change by just clicking but it gets blocked as soon as I open the flow.

Hi There, I am unsure of what the verification required is, it’s from the Education team. I am not a student or Educator but a founder of a company. what are the next steps please as it said I cannot edit my Figma app file after July 13th ?Thank you.

I took subscription for 1 year plan but today only three months happen Figma is locked my screen he is saying like that please update the payment method how can i resolve this issue please resolve my issue asap .

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. I have paid for the annual professional team plan starting this July. However, I need to pay for 1 person, but now 2 people have paid, so I would like to receive a refund for 1 person. I made an inquiry about this, but there was no response, so I asked the community. Can I cancel my subscription and receive a full refund to pay for one person again? Or can only one person receive a refund out of the amount paid?
