Is there a way to get hold of earlier version of Figma app for iPhone X. AppStore only offers latest version that requires iOS 17. The highest for iPhone X is 16.7.11. Showing prototype in web-browser on mobile is not an option.Tnx in advance for answers!Best regards, Darko

Hello everyone,  I’m trying the hide  the content on the bottom (underneath the arrows) so it will be visible only when scrolling in prototype mode. I cannot seem to hide it, ‘since move to back’ doesn’t work in this case. Any tips? Also I’m not sure this is the right way to do it, but maybe after I will be able to hide it, I could figure it out. Thank you!   

Hi all, I am a newbie to Figma and I would like to get help in using columns/grids. I have created a grid in my frame. However, now, when I want to create new rectangle, lets say in the center of the frame (horizontal and vertical), it snaps to some strange position:  Can somebody help me and advise how to make it not snap to this position? I just want to place it anywhere I want, maybe snap to the nearest “guide”. But not to move the whole rectanble to the top.  I have all snapping disabled in Preferences. I suppose it is because I use Auto Layout instead of Column/Grid, but I cannot find any option how to NOT use Auto Layout in the right side panel.Thank you.

I downloaded font “Lucida Grande” through online source. In design mode font weight appeared as “Bold” and in dev mode it should be “700” but it isn’t. It shows “600” due to this dev are keep getting confused. Same in case with Regular, in dev mode it appear as “500”.I search the issue behind and multiple sources says “its font file metadata issue,” i need to know how to resolve this. Please help out, I need dev to see the same value “700” instead of “600”. How should i do that?

Hi there! I published a plugin and am waiting for the review. When I try to launch the In-development version, it starts without any problems, but when I choose the published version (the one in the review), I get: An error occurred while loading the plugin environment. At the same time, I have another plugin that was successfully published, and I can open both versions without any errors. Is there something I’m doing wrong, or is it expected to return this error before the plugin is published to the community? Thank you.

Hi We are are on professional Annual plan, 2 members went on Maternity leave, so If I downgrade them to view only, will I save the money from the 2 seats or is it lost forever unless I reassign them?Thanks in advanceAndy

Why is there no plan for UI designers / developers? I would only need Figma design, the new Figma site and Figma dev .  But nothing. Will they add more plans later?

Hello, We use 8 point border radius in a few projects but Figma doesn’t have the level of control we need. Example: https://9elements.github.io/fancy-border-radius/full-control.htmlborder-radius: 55% 16% 59% 10% / 54% 7% 26% 10%  We use an elaborate group of shapes to build these larger shapes but it’s a bit clunky and devs need to approximate these radius. Question: How do would you solve this? 

Greetings.I’m so used to the function of ctrl + click, which ends the current line while you’re using the pen in edit mode, allowing you to start another line inside the same shape. Basically, it does the same job as esc key, but much more convenient. But as of the new update, it actually has the same function that it does outside of edit mode: Selecting nested layers…Now I don’t know about you, but the whole point of the EDIT MODE has been isolating the selection from everything else. It becomes quite annoying when I wanna end my current line and I have to look for somewhere empty to click, in order to end the line and not select some other layer. Is there an option to keep other layers isolated while in the edit mode? I’ve been used to this function for the past 5 years and I don’t wanna go back to extending my pinky towards the goddamn esc key! Worse is when I have a picture under my lines, and it will always exits the edit mode and selects the picture if I ctrl + click to end my li

Hey FamHope you’re well.It may be something simple but i feel im too deep in my work at the moment to realise it. When i select Preview option - all my pages fit perfectly. When i select Present - all the screens i have created sit to the right a bit like they dont fit. Any suggestions on what i might be doing wrong?  Preview viewPresent view

Hello to the Community!My problem is the following:I want to make a Login Screen and when 2 Textfields are prefilled with the correct values, the Login Button state should swtich from inactive to active.What I already did:Defined the components with the right pre-defined variables Used a boolean for the button state and linked it to the button Tried out manually in the Variants panel - works Put the button active logic into the password section, so it will be activated as a top down expirience Linked directly the textfield to the pre-defined variables, not the whole ObjectThe logic I am using is:When User field is filled correctly, userCheck Boolean becomes True When Password field is filled correctly, passwordCheck Boolean becomes True When userCheck and passwordCheck are True, loginButton should become TrueFor the rest, see the attachmentsIs my logic flawed or did I put it smth smwh wrong? 

So, I feel like making something that’s not text (like for example, a vector shape) look like it’s italic. Like, is it even possible?

Title. Looking to get some metadata around plugin/widget use, is this possible? Thanks!

Really need to get deep into web development. Its a passion and as to am self learned. Senior developers in the house please aid the newbie 😅 .

Can someone help me pls??? I recently heard about the figma sites but I started creating my website in design. Is it possible to copy and past the layouts that are ready for the figma sites ir I need to do everything again from the beginning? 

 Hello, I want to ask why the side menu in figma blurs when I don't put my mouse on it.

Hello guys! I did some simple UI animations for icons in game menu. And when animation is running some elements are twitching by a few pixels, it looks really buggy. These are both the icons themselves and the frames in which they are located. You can see really clear this happens on photo and frame with bears. Please help, I’m tired of looking for a solution to this problem. I don’t know, maybe I did something wrong or is it just Figma bug… Here’s the link to my prototype: https://www.figma.com/file/2Hue9Fq39fu9iy1NUlkxZd/Test-UI-Farm?node-id=0%3A1&t=ko7PLwdcMiTHHLbD-1 Here’s video of my issue: Recording #3 - YouTube Here’s picture of element broken: https://preview.redd.it/dcl3xo2s42ua1.png?width=182&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=d02b39015f73d6d6cc2131a689f1db6f8215f46c

Estoy haciendo un curso de AutoLayout y resulta que con las nuevas actualizaciones no encuentro ciertas funcionalidades. Un caos. ¿Alguien que me pueda decir dónde puedo encontrar una guía actualizada de cómo encontrarlas ahora? Para los que somos nuevos en Figma es realmente difícil poder aprender. ¡Desde ya muchas gracias!

Hi Figma Community!I'm working on building a robust Stepper component for my companies design library,  and I've hit a bit of a snag with Auto Layout and responsiveness when combined with multiple components.What I've Achieved So Far:I've successfully built a functional Stepper component that allows designers to:Switch between different numbers of steps (e.g., 3-step, 4-step, 5-step variations). Control the state of each step (inactive, active, completed - where completed steps show a checkmark instead of a number). Toggle the visibility of optional text titles beneath each step indicator.The Challenge: Responsive Behavior with Auto LayoutWhere I'm struggling is making the entire stepper component responsive while preserving all the variant functionality. My goal is to allow designers to drag an instance of the Stepper and resize its overall width. When they do this:The step indicators (circles with numbers/checkmarks) should remain a fixed size. The optional titles beneath the indicat

Does anybody know why am I getting a glitchy animation when I try to make an expandible menu? Like an accordion dropdown. When I want to animate a frame or a rectangle from the size A to size B, it works but with a visual glitch, and it’s more noticeable when using rounded corners. I made a basic animation, click the small rectangle, it expands, click again, it goes to the start size… there are 2 versions, one of them with rounded corners, one without them. Here is a screenshot of the glich when I play the animation. I would love to post a video but I can’t do that yet (I’m pretty new to the forums). I already have a solution to make the animation work like I want, but it’s more complicated in terms of structure of the component, and I really want to know if this is a bug or if I’m doing something wrong. Thank you all!

Hi all,I’m running into an issue with Smart Animate that seems to be a recent regression. I’ve used Smart Animate successfully across multiple components in my file, and everything was working fine in Present mode until this past week.Now, some animations that used to work perfectly are either:• Not playing at all, or• Playing incorrectly (e.g. jumpy, incomplete, or skipping interpolation)Here’s what I’ve found through troubleshooting:• The animations still work when I isolate the animated component and test it on its own.• They break only when nested inside more complex parent components (which contain other nested instances).• Detaching the parent instance or simplifying the nesting restores the expected animation behaviour.• Clearing Figma’s cache and restarting the app had no effect.• I haven’t changed anything in the component structure that would explain this — it genuinely seems to have broken out of the blue.This leads me to suspect either:• A recent Figma update changed how Sm

Hey all, Trying to figure out how I can nest components so my text does not realign when I hide an icon in the same component. I hide the icon using properties but it moves the label text to the left, I want that text to remain in line with the other labels. Any help would be appreciated thank you! 

I have the same parts of text (2 words) across different parts of text across different Figma frames (on the same page), and I want to make them in bold style.How can I do this?Maybe with any Figma plugin, like “Find and Replace”, but replace also style of the text.
