My Figma document suddenly changed all the black or grey elements into white

Hi Community, I have an emergency. I was preparing my file for hand-off and suddenly as I was working on it all the black or grey elements changed into white. I don’t know how this happened in a matter of a second. Do you know how to fix this? Thank you in advance for your help!

I cannot find the color variable that appears in the file

Hello, Although there is no color variable in my file, the theme variable appears to exist. I’m about to go crazy, I can’t delete this variable no matter what I do. Where do you think the problem might be?

How to trigger widget re-render while plugin UI is open?

Here’s my widget: function MyWidget() { const [input, setInput] = useSyncedState('myInput', '') usePropertyMenu( [ { itemType: 'action', tooltip: 'Open Plugin UI', propertyName: 'open-plugin-ui', }, ], ({ propertyName, propertyValue }) => { switch (propertyName) { case 'open-plugin-ui': return new Promise(() => figma.showUI(__html__)); } }, ); useEffect(() => { console.log('re-render:', input) }) return ( <Input value={input} onTextEditEnd={(e) => setInput(e.characters)} /> ) } While plugin UI is open, no matter how I change my input state, the widget won’t re-render.

What's your latest project in Figma? Can you share some details about it?

As of my last update in September 2021, I don’t have the capability to engage in current events or projects beyond that date. However, I can provide an example response based on a hypothetical project: “My latest project in Figma is a mobile app redesign for a local e-commerce startup. The goal is to improve user experience, streamline navigation, and enhance visual aesthetics to increase user engagement and conversions. I began by conducting user research and creating wireframes, then moved on to high-fidelity mockups. I’ve incorporated elements like intuitive product filtering, a simplified checkout process, and a visually appealing product display. I’m also leveraging Figma’s component libraries for efficient design consistency. Overall, it’s been an exciting project that’s allowed me to apply user-centric design principles and leverage Figma’s powerful collaboration features.”

Sticky top and hidden before scroll position is reached

Is there a way to make layers stick to the top but hide by default and only show when the scroll position is reached? EDIT: I created a prototype with a hack to work around this problem: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1294213828731012990/sticky-top-hidden-hack For me this is not the final solution 😕

Set color from variable?

Hi, I wanted to set a color variable with another color variable. Today, you can only choose a new color with a color palette or hex code. Or use mode 1, 2, 3. Set ColorStyles = ColorStyles.Mode2 So by telling which Mode should be active. How is it supposed to work, maybe coming in the future? Sincerely /Per

Weird bug showing a purple gradient

When editing a mock table with a wrapping auto layout, there is a weird bug (I think) that makes the adjacent components increase to weird height values. There is also a weird purple gradient when hovering over the components. Am I doing something wrong?

プロトタイプで設定した動作がうまくいかない

メニューをクリックして開いたポップアップをクリックして、違うフレームに遷移させたいのですが、うまく動きません。 ”open/close”のコンポーネントを作成してバリアント化 ”open”の状態で、メニューから違うフレームに遷移するプロトタイプを追加 "close"の状態にしてプレビュー プレビューを確認すると、open/closeは動作しますが、遷移ができません。 もう一度プロトタイプを確認すると、クリックの動作は残っています。 レイヤーは、コンポーネントと実際に遷移するページを分けて使いたいです。 何度も試行錯誤しましたが、解決策が見つかりませんでしたので教えていただきたいです。

How to set the current page to a different page in the document?

Creating a plugin and I want to be able to switch between pages to add frames and text to pages that are intentionally left blank. I’m starting with the cover page. let coverPage: PageNode = figma.root.findChild(n => n.type === "PAGE" && n.name === "📔 Cover"); figma.currentPage = coverPage; returns an error of: Type 'PageNode | null' is not assignable to type 'PageNode'. Type 'null' is not assignable to type 'PageNode'. Can anyone shed some light on what I’m doing wrong?

Prototype navigation across multiple frames

Hi everyone. I’m fairly new to Figma, I’m at the point where I’m trying to prototype my website so I can demo it for my client. I’m having some trouble understanding how to link up the navigation (header nav). I can link one page by connecting all the individual nav items to the appropriate frames but I was hoping there was a way to duplicate this rather than manually do the same for every page (frame). Is there a shortcut / best practice approach? many thanks

Copy / Paste Properties Breaks Links to Varables

I’m a frequent user of the copy properties action and this update has broken it it major way IMO. Say I copy an element that has a backgroundPrimary variable for its fill, pasting the properties onto another object will break that reference and the pasted object is using hex codes now. I’d assume this is a bug and hopefully not the intended behavior because it renders the paste properties action useless if you’re using the new variables/tokens system.

Looking for Figma's UI in a Figma Template

I’m working on training for non-designers. Rather than screenshots it would be great if there was already a Figma template that had Figmas UI created already. I haven’t found anything so far.

Font is switching letterforms between weights

My lowercase ‘a’ keeps switching from a closed ‘a’ to an open ‘a’ when I switch the font weight from book to medium. Any ideas for a solution? I’ve completely deleted the fonts from my system and reinstalled only the closed letterform version, and restarted both Figma and my laptop. Oh and it’s happening on the desktop and online version.

Difference between figma and the real devices

Hi everyone, I am coming by with a bit weird problem, namely I have the same font values on Figma and on real devices but on Figma it looks much bigger: The screenshot on the left is from Figma, on the right is from the device (look at the “Fax to” label) Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Thanks and have a great day 🙂
