Hi, Since there’s an issue with testing FIGMA desktop app (electron.launch fails with Playwright, and tried another framework and got the same issue) - I would like to know how FIGMA test their own app? Thought of using the same framework

Hi! Am I the only one who’s having trouble with every single vector plugin? I need them and none of them are working… I’ve tested a few so far (at least 6). I’m from Brazil if it helps… Thanks!

Hello, Figma Community. Question 1: How to get the list of Frames displayed in the sidebar I would like to retrieve the list of Frames displayed in the sidebar. I tried using a plugin called “Name Exporter,” but I was unable to get the entire list. Could you recommend any methods or plugins for this? Question 2: Explanation of the icons displayed in the sidebar I would like to know the meaning of each icon displayed in the sidebar. Could you tell me where I can find a list explaining these icons? Thank you.

I have an overlay that I initial from a bug on my UI. Once it is active, I have a button that has a couple conditional statements turning on certain variables. When I click the button, it turns on what I have set, however all of my other prototype interactions stop working and my overlay closes. Why is this happening? How to I keep my overlay open after button click and also not have my prototype freeze on me?

I want to make a component that has some text at the top then displays an image beneath. The width of the component should always be fixed and the image inside it needs to fill the width of the component but the height of the image needs to maintain the aspect ratio of the image. This would mean that the height of the component must hug to the image so the component height will fluctuate depending on the aspect ratio of the image. How do I do that please?

i am new to Figma. i currently facing problem in overlay or popup is not scrolling even the overlay or popup bigger than the parent. overlay or popup bigger than the parent, if i apply vertical scroll to my overlay or popup page remain same postion and all prototype click area moving up and down while scroll.

(Please see screenshot example )I would like user to be able to click/select option 1 or 2 and be navigated to different screens depending on which option is selected using the same ‘continue’ button’

Hello! I am working on a website and have a current issue with my prototype. When I have multiple elements side by side with a hover interaction, upon leaving these components, the interaction repeats in reverse very quickly (one frame, I guess). I understand the logic because it’s a hover; when I move the mouse away from the component, Figma wants to “go back” to the default state. However, when I move from one hover element to another, Figma go back and go back and go back… Do you have any tips to avoid that? I’ve created a Figma prototype if anyone wants to test it. Someone already addressed this question, but the answer is not visible anymore. Any ideas are helpful. Thank you very much! Léo

I need to leave a Figma team, I have duplicated some of the projects into my own Figma team for my portfolio and I’m wondering if I leave will the components placed onto the frames in my copied over versions disappear?

Hi there, a kind of a newbie here … so … I did a frame with multiple interactive components, and a few of them are overlaid (their extensive frame area). So when I press one button also another button or component is triggered because their overall areas are overlaid. Has anyone had this issue before? It’s so annoying … I tried to play with the “bring to back” & “bring to front” functions, but still important components are hidden at the back and their interaction is limited from what is at the front. Sorry I can’t attach a photo, but if needed I ll try again later. Thanks.

Items pasted appear absolutely no where I want or need them. Wrong position, wrong location, just wrong.

I am creating a design for a website that involves a split menu. [Menu Left] [Logo Image] [Menu Right] Additionally, the logo is tall, so I’m having it overlap and “fall off” the bottom edge. Unfortunately, when those three components are all in the same auto layout, the image falls behind everything. I tried bring to front but that pulls it out of the auto layout. I can pull the image completely out of the Menu Frame, but then it doesn’t work with the auto layout either. What am I not doing correctly here?

I have a (pretty basic, needs revisions, ignore that) logo that is made of two rounded triangles that merge together with the Darken blend mode in the middle. I want to be able to get the middle part to be a separate shape so that I can mess with it’s color without changing the other two. I have tried tracing the shapes. I am very bad at tracing the shapes. I am wondering if there’s an easier way where Figma will “flatten” the individual shapes so that I can move them around separate from each other. Sorry if my question doesn’t make any sense! I’m bad at this. I know that I should be using Illustrator. Sorry, but Figma’s all I got, so help me if you can. If it helps, here’s what the logo looks like: https://imgur.com/a/xTQsuJX

Hello. I have a problem with prototyping and multiple interactions. If I assign the on drag interaction to a variant that already has a while pressing interaction, only the drag interaction works, and it ignores the while pressing and swaps to default state of component. Is there any way to overcome this problem?

Hi, my class and I are facing a global problem, in the settings we have set restrictions on copying our layouts, but other people who can view our project can still copy any frames. Can you tell me what could be the reason?

In Figma, the shadow has to be requested to implement css, I wonder if I have to make the image separately for draft/export. Is there a way to export without a shadow effect? Or in practice, do designer have to create a separate extraction image that removes the shadow next to the draft?

I have light and dark icons in Figma. The dark icons container has the Dark UI colors mode selected, which is designed to switch between color palettes. In Figma it looks fine, dark icons use correct dark colors. But when I use API to fetch them, the mode is not respected and I get light colors. I use GET /v1/images/:key . The colors will be correct if I fetch the icon container, but I need individual icons. This used to work fine, but stopped working a couple of weeks ago I think. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thank you for your help!

I’ve been using Figma for a while and no matter what team I’m on, project I’m doing, or library I’m editing, Figma always does the same thing. It asks me to publish changes for design libraries, when no changes have been made for the past few hours… It asks me to review and accept changes from design libraries, when no changes have been made for the past few hours too… I would know, because I am the only one with access to that design library. Not sure why this happens all the time.
