Question

Screen dimensions

Hello!
I have a problem. I’ve made a design for a web portal on 1440x1024 dimensions.
Now I have problems with the developers because the dimensions that I’ve used in Figma (sizes, space between elements, etc.) do not correspond with my Figma design.
For example: If I put a space between elements of 8, and the developer also used 8, at the end, on his screen the space is way bigger than in my design.

What I’m doing wrong? I really need help on this.

    You must ensure both Figma and the developers use the same units (pixels) and consider scaling factors affecting element dimensions for alignment.

    Also, changing your Text-size on Windows will incorrectly scale the Figma Desktop UI:
