Stroke style to record all properties, not just colors

I want the stroke style to inherit all properties, not just colors you know we have ：color、size、strokes per side、 inside and outside、 and so on。 I want to write it all down when I create t he styles 🤣

Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

Graphic Asset Variable Needed

I wonder if this is in the roadmap for the variable feature. It would be super useful to have a new variable type that allows us to set a different graphic asset per mode. Some cases here: Company logo on whitelabels. Swapping theme would also swap the logo Platform related assets, like icons for android and iOS Platform related components: for example Android Top Navigation and iOS Top Navigation Does it make sense?

Missing variable font values ("font-variation-settings") over plugin/rest api

Implement variable font property in plugin API and rest api Unfortunately it is not possible to get the complete properties for variable fonts via API access. Please implement the CSS property “font-variation-settings” for “wght”, “wdth”, “slnt” … “opsz” Or have I overlooked something, how do I get the information via the APis?

Variable Content Containers for Components (Replace/Reorder Layers in components)

The Problem In figma, it is currently not possible to persist certain compository styles without having to think of all the possible use cases before and putting them in there, or to provide a component just so that it can be used as a reference, a starting point. The reason for this is that once a layer is in a component, it cannot be replaced, removed, multiplied or reordered. This makes sense, but limits what a component can do. Examples Buttons that are capable of showing any icon. The Icon can only be replaced by a different icon of the same size or the same parent component (icon/*). Meaning, that all icons that are available need to be thought of before. This breaks the components capabilities, because it all of a sudden needs to be aware of the icons it can display. Text-Content Content that consists of a variable structure of headlines, paragraphs, lists, quotes, etc. Designing a Template for a view that will receive content from, for example, a CMS is impossible as a

Use percentage for size variables

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to have percentage values in variables, like setting percentage value for frame widths or shape sizes (etc.) that have variable modes applied to them? Percentage values could respond better to content that varies within a frame or frames within frames.

Typography Variables - Bind Variable to Case (All caps, title case etc)

Love the new Typography Variable release, but it falls short for our use case. Our goal is to use variable modes to switch styles between our 3 brands. 2 of those brands use all caps for headings, the other brand uses sentence case. We need to be able to bind a variable to the case of a character style (As typed, Uppercase, Lowercase, Title case, Small caps). Without this capability, when switching modes from brand 1 to brand 2 for example, we are getting the default case for the character style (sentence case coming from brand 1). We would then have to go through our designs and manually type in all caps for all instances of headings in brands 2 and 3. Certainly not ideal and will lead to inconsistencies / places where manually typing in all caps are missed if we went this route. Until binding a variable to the case of a character style is an option, using typography variables isn’t feasible for our use case.

Please do NOT auto-set children to "width: fill" when creating an Autolayout!!

Over and over and over again:select a few things at once SHIFT+A to autolayout change autolayout orientation to L→R OOPS all the children’s widths are screwed up now undo, select every child, update width to “fixed” or “hug” as appropriate change autolayout orientation to L→RAnything that auto-updates children/parents is a problem, but I do understand why SOMETIMES it makes sense or is necessary. This is neither and is maddening!

Slides: Link to specific slide

When sharing, I would love to be able to specify a specific slide to link to. This will allow more fine tune sharing. If the url was appended with something like “slide-1” it would allow for us to create dynamic and easily editable links in our Airtable as well. We are using slides as a creative review workflow and this would help us tremendously!

Add way to change opacity for color variables alias, fills, strokes, etc

Add Gradients as a variable type

Is there any plan to be able to create the gradient itself as a variable? For example, if I wanted some themes to have a solid background variable but others to have a gradient?

Use shape boundaries for interactive hotspot instead of rectangular bounding box

Hello, I couldn’t find a feature in Figma where we can constrain trigger or hotspot bounds to a vector shape instead of a rectangular bounding box. The current version doesn’t support the design use cases similar to those below (eg: interactive pie charts) where transparent pixels are ignored in a non-rectangular shape because the hotspot bounding box is always rectangular. It would be nice to constrain the hotspot area to the desired shape instead of a rectangle. Please check the attached Figma file. Hotspot bounds.fig (7.0 MB) Is it possible to include HTML image maps so the hotspot shape can use a polygonal shape? Please check the URL below. w3schools.com

Summarise all comments into next steps with Figma AI

Have you ever sent over a design file for feedback to open it a week later with 40+ comments? I have and I’m sure you have too. The problemIt takes a lot of time to review comments after a feedback round. It can get repetitive and sometimes the feedback can mean the same thing but being written differently. If you have a lot of different commenters, the list becomes long and tedious to go through. The solutionOne button to summarise comments that will produce out a summary and propose the next steps. Each summary should include links to the root comment so the user can review the original comment. The summary could be in a tab in the comments panel where you can toggle between original comments and summary to easily go back and forth.

Use inverse of Boolean variable to show/hide layer

This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables: but it would be more convenient to be able to do it with just one. Just give me a Boolean toggle when the variable is used to say if the variable should be inverted or not.

Calculation formula within variable input

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

Disable 'observe' mode

As per this discussion - How to disable 'observe' mode - #5 by Dave2 - I think it would be useful to be able to turn off ‘observe mode’. It is very annoying being watched while I work, unless I specifically am trying to share/demonstrate something. It is the digital version of someone looking over your shoulder. I dont want to have to remove people’s permissions from the file just to stop them digitally stalking me.

Fonts: Support of Color Fonts?

Dear Figma Support Team, I am writing to inquire about the current support for color fonts in Figma. As a designer, I greatly appreciate the versatility and creative possibilities that color fonts bring to my work. I have recently been experimenting with various color font formats, such as OpenType-SVG and COLR/CPAL, which allow for intricate multi-colored typography. However, I have encountered some challenges when attempting to utilize these fonts within Figma’s design environment. It appears that Figma currently lacks full support for color fonts, as I have experienced difficulties with the proper rendering and editing of these fonts within the platform. It would be immensely beneficial if Figma could extend its capabilities to fully embrace color fonts, enabling designers like myself to fully explore the potential they offer. Color fonts have become increasingly popular, allowing for more expressive and engaging designs across various mediums. With their ability to incorporate vibr

A shortcut to open the "Local variables" window

Hello everyone! I think having a shortcut to open/close the local variables would be very helpful. For example in cases where I’m prototyping and need to access the local variables to ensure the accuracy of the variable names or values that I’m assigning in the interactions. Currently, if I want to do this, I have to switch between the prototype panel to the design panel in order to open the local variables, check them and then go back to prototype. Note: I am aware that it is possible to keep the local variables window open, but this often leads to numerous bugs in the prototype. For example, when it is open, I am unable to drag the prototype interactions to reorder them.

Links between pages in PDF export

I need to create internal linking PDF exports; a multipage document with a table of contents that provides links to the relevant pages. If I use the link tool, the links generated in the exported PDF go to the web URL of the linked frames, and does not navigate to the page within the PDF. Using prototype linking does not generate any interactivity in the PDF at all. It would be useful for either the prototyping tool or link tool to generate interactive internally-linked PDF exports.
