SOLVED / Color switch: How to keep All Libraries open as default view?

After the updates, switching colors for me is a pain, as now it does not keep “All Libraries” as a default view anymore, every time I switch a color I have to select → choose a library or local or All libraries… It is such a pain. What is going on? Is there a way to keep All libraries open at all times?

I would assume it should remember the last selection, but no, it’s based on the color that was on it in the first place.

Tbh, such a change in UX should really be considered better, I wonder which genius thought it was a better idea to limit user’s view to only 1 library by default… 🫠

    Is this broken again? I just downloaded Figma on a new computer and am running into this issue. The Custom tab is open by default whenever I pick a color and I have to click the Library tab each time.

      Hey Stephen, not that we’re aware of!

      Sorry to hear you’re still having issues. This was a specific library bug that we deployed a fix for back in August.

      Please reach out to the support team directly via this form for help: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

      Be sure to use your Figma account email, include a screen recording or a link to an affected file, and share it with support-share@figma.com so they can take a closer look.

        I don’t know if other folks are running into this too, and I’m not sure the correct terms for this functionality, but I was using the color picker instead of the “Styles and libraries” button (four dots in a square icon). If I select “Styles and libraries” it opens with the Libraries tab where as if I select the color icon it opens with the Custom tab. Hopefully this can help someone else too!
