difrent fills and strokes for defrent areas in the same object

the idea is simple. often times I am creating a design, in witch two objects share a curve/edge, but have a different fill color. the only way to make the different fill color is to create two separate objects, but then later on if you have to edit the line you have to edit all instances of the object. or sometimes I have the same object that I want two different fill colors on, and again I have to make two separate objects. the same goes for strokes. so, I sujust that there be some way to within one object have totally different fills and strokes. there is already a way to have multiple fills, but they only layer on top of each other with different opacities, and same with strokes. I think that the different fills and things could be added using this same UI, witch would also allow the mixing of different fills as well. you could also apply / remove the different fills to different area using something similar to the new paint / bucket fill tool. anyways, I know this might be a bit ch

Set grid row height to "hug" contents

I was super pumped to start using grids for my layouts until I learned of one fatal flaw that killed my excitement :( The inability to set a row height to hug is simply a deal-breaker for me. Also no variables support for gaps? really?

Hiding tab bar at the top for more space

Mostly I like to use figma on browser (with fullscreen) just because it has more space, because there is no tabbar on browser. So, my suggestion is, there should be an option to hide topbar (or tabbar) on figma app, so users on smaller screen like macbook air will have more canvas view. Most people keep open a single tab, Why to waste entire screen width with tabbar?. Something like “Dock” on mac os. You can hide it, but when mouse hovers on that area it will be shown.

SVG-Export: add feature to export local variable names into svg code with static-color fallback

When working with SVG assets within a design system we’re often using named color variables that are part of the design system so that our designs support different color modes (light, dark etc) it would be super helpful if there was some way for these variables made their way into the SVG code (with a fallback for situations or usages where the variable may not exist) So in your SVG export instead of this: <rect x="0.331604" y="0.717941" width="20.9977" height="20.9977" fill="#ffffff"/> you’d get something like this <rect x="0.331604" y="0.717941" width="20.9977" height="20.9977" fill="var(--color-background, #ffffff)"/> which would then be able to be able to be dynamically changed based on what is being set for --color-background in the consuming web app.

Please add setValueForModeAsync() to the Plugin API

Could you please add a new method that returns a Promise? setValueForModeAsync(modeId: string, newValue: VariableValue): Promise<void> I’m working with hundreds of variables applied across complex layers in my plugin, so applying changes can take some time, and the next modification in the queue might already be out of date when it finishes. Being able to await each change would ensure they finish before the next step. Thanks for considering!

Issue with Opacity in Figma Variables

In Figma, I can create a color variable like Primary/500,but there's no way to create another variable that links to Primary/500 with just a different opacity (e.g., 50%). This becomes a problem when I change the base color — I have to manually update every opacity variation, which is time-consuming and breaks the idea of dynamic design systems. 🔧 Feature Request: Allow opacity to be applied on top of existing variables when creating new ones.

A feature where figma can automatically suggest labels and tooltips for the figma mocks where ever applicable using AI

We create a lot of mocks using Figma. These mocks may contain a lot of UI elements that require labels/tooltips. If Figma can automatically suggest labels/tooltips using AI it would be great.

All plans should offer more than 4 variable modes

It would be great if the professional plan offered more than 4 variable modes. Right now I want to set up a mode for each component size-- XS - XL, 5 sizes all together-- which puts me over the 4 limit for pro, but well under the 40 limit for enterprise, which is a quantity I will never need. And there’s no use case for enterprise at all for a team our size. I think 10-12 modes for pro would be perfect to give small teams like mine room to grow before we reach the scale where an enterprise plan would be worth consideration.

Add a "slot" functionality to components

My suggestion for Figma is to add a “slot” functionality to components. This would allow designers to create more flexible and customizable components, by adding empty slots or placeholders within a component. Users could then insert their own content or elements into these slots, without having to ungroup or modify the component itself. This functionality would save time and increase efficiency for designers, while also promoting a more consistent design system across a project or organization. I believe this feature would greatly enhance the flexibility and usability of Figma’s component system, and would be a valuable addition to the platform.

Specify center of rotation

Is it possible to specify an objects center of rotation. I cant for the life of me find it anywhere. You could do this relatively easy in sketch.

Some Improvements of Auto Layouts (ZStack)

Hello, I'm a designer using Figma for over 6 years. These days I'm writing codes as well I want have a function of Auto Layout. In Swift coding, we got HStack, VStack, ZStack and GridSometime I want to create a button with a background which can Scale with the sizes of button. If I filled to the top - Layout of the button it’s done. but sometime I want it can be hided as a switch in component properties, It;s hard to do so. Also in some Popup design, I want to add something like exit icons which is not followed the whole frame, the only way I could do this is to make it position absolute. So my idea and suggest about auto layout is that. If I could have a function like ZStack. It can helps the element inside Fill container and also, it can have the Layers for different parts. It’s a little bit hard to describe but thank you for your reading

Adjustable/Custom-sized Figma Slides

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

Fr/Percent units for more control over auto layout content

Although I find the new autolayout UI extremely convoluted and overdesigned, the ‘hug/fill parent’ feature is great. However, It would be immensely helpful to have more control over how the elements fill the parent. Currently, the only option is for the elements to fill the remaining space, but oftentimes, I need certain elements to take up a certain proportion. Example: I need element-1 to take up 2fr (~66%) and the rest to take up 1fr (~33%). It would be a game-changer if we could use ‘fr’ units. Framer does this beautifully and it’s vital for efficient, adaptive layout workflows:

Option to hide the right panel

Figma currently offers a keyboard shortcut to hide the layers panel (CMD + SHIFT + \ ) or all UI (CMD + \ ) but no keyboard support to just hide the right panel (Design, Prototype, Inspect) For me the layers panel can often be more important to retain than the right panel. Anyone else want this feature?

Allow percentages for line height

Firstly great job Figma Font variables are here!!! Figma tutorial: Variables for typography The only thing missing is the use of percentages in the line-height property. You can not use a percentage in the line-height as it only accepts variables that are a number type. Although the variables for line-height caters for pixel (absolute) line-heights (10,12,14)- it does not accommodate relative line heights. In other words you can’t use percentage variables for line heights that are a percentage of the font size (100%, 120%,150%). Interestingly …You can use a variable for letter-spacing ( which accepts a number variable - but reads it as a percentage) - the challenge remains that line heights by default are absolute not percentages - even though you can input a percentage. Percentages allow greater flexibility and less calculations Word around would be to allow formula in a variable e.g. =[variable] * 1.5 Or figuring out a way for the line height to be toggle between absolute or relative

Add option for Design system theming and APIs to be available at the professional level

Limiting Design system theming and APIs to Enterprise creates a huge hurdle for someone who may be a solo-preneur and wants to develop for mobile, web, and IoT. This would be a game changer for automated pipelines.

Enable Dev Mode Annotations Feature for Developers as well

Ok maybe we got that wrong, but it seems that the new Dev Mode “Annotate” and “Measure” Features are only available to designers but not the developers themselves? We’d think it would be very useful for them as well. When the developers want to add some info during handoff, or if we forgot something and they want to add that info later as a reminder etc.

Please Please do not ignore core “Design” feature requests

There a lot of new features coming to Figma every Config, like a Figma version of Powerpoint or Illustrator. But this forum is full of requests related to issues people face building UIs. Here are some recent Figma updates that are really amazing: Keep aspect ratio Reorder variable modes These features cannot be replaced with plugins or external apps, and they save a lot of time for large projects. But, it took years to implement so much requested concepts. And now, with the new “Grid” feature (which is very much needed) — same situation: it is unusable in its current state. And there’s no hope it will usable when out of beta (as it was with variables). Don’t get me wrong, I really like accessibility check in the new color picker. But this can be done, a bit slower, with a plugin. And, there are lot of basic things, that cannot be done at all: to set a prototype size per flow. Why can’t I have my desktop mockups on the same Figma page as my mobile mockups? to use component variants for

Prototype modes

Similar to how we have dev mode, design mode, and now draw mode in Figma Design, can we get separate modes for prototypes? Designers Create the prototypes Need to see hotspots on click Share internally to PM and Eng Engineers Want a more guided experience, there to see the interaction and flows without much self-discovery Perhaps a Split View of dev mode designs and prototype side-by-side Researchers Share prototypes externally Limited extra UI, design-only. Less for participants to get distracted Sharing options such as password, expiring links, share specific flow links No hotspots A lot of this is available today, albeit not in different modes. Which leads to designers having to walk eng and researchers how to find and use these features. Different modes tailored to each user could help us have more of a self-service UI.

Color variables in modes set to nothing/blank/null/empty

We need the ability for variables in modes to have a nothing, blank, null, or empty value. For example, filled vs ghost buttons. In filled I have a fill color but in the ghost button it needs to be clear—so either alpha 0 (it works but it’s not elegant) or nothing (also not supported) for the variable mode to work properly. Otherwise I can’t use variables for changing themes on objects like these.

Make Annotations visible to everyone

I was going to praise how neat the new Annotation feature is, when I realized the content is only visible to Dev Mode accounts. Are you serious? I understand you want to limit creating annotations to certain seat types, but viewing annotations should be a viewer-level feature. Come on Figma, there are better ways to convince your users to pay for a subscription. This is such a crooked move.

Add Pagination to “All Projects” View in Figma

Currently, the "All Projects" section in Figma loads an infinite list, making it hard to navigate or locate older projects—especially when working in large teams or organizations with hundreds of files. Adding pagination (or even better, filters/sorting and a jump-to-page option) would greatly improve usability and performance, allowing users to access and manage their projects more efficiently. Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround?
