Change default canvas stacking in auto layout

I am using auto layout a lot in my projects and think it is awesome. However, there is one small issue that annoys me a lot. The default setting for canvas stacking is always “Last on top”, which is usually not what I want. For instance when switching state of a dropdown in a layout, the dropdown list will appear below the content that is underneath it (at least in my case where the list is using absolute position). With lots of nested auto layouts, things quickly become a mess if you forgot to change this when you created the auto layout. I would suggest either of these solutions: Change default to “First on top”. Make the default setting optional Remember the last used setting (like the animation properties work)

Nested component features disappear when you have multiple components selected at the same time

Hello again, I stumbled upon a weird scenario when setting up the different variants in a design system of a component in an example overview. I use nested components to control the size and potential styling so that you don’t have to create multiple variants with the same structure when all you need are different variant states. For example, an input field has a label, a field area (where there can be an icon, placeholder, and so on), a help text, and an error text. However, we also need to see the different states of the input field, which means Default, Hover, Disabled, Active, In use, Focused, and potentially, for prototyping, we also need Active Hover and Active Disabled. All of this takes time to set up, but when I want to create an overview of the different examples and display the prototype effects, I have to manually select them all if I want to change the size from Medium to Large, for example. Because my nested options disappear as soon as I choose them all, duplicate, and w

Stop automatically adding FigmaAgent to Login Items

I don’t use Figma all the time, I don’t want it to run anything on startup. It’s frustrating to manually remove Figma from Login Items, since it automatically adds itself there again. It would be nice to have at least an option to disable it in settings, or even better - remove that functionality at all, since it’s not user friendly. I want control over what and when the apps do at my workstation. P.S. If it’s needed for updates check - I’m more than okay to update on app start

Show variable values in variables panel

When you go to use a variable in the design panel, you are able to see both the variable name and its value in the current mode. As a design system manager, I also want to see the value of aliased variables in the variables interface — both when selecting the aliased variable and once the alias has already been assigned.

Toggle visibility of DevMode Annotations on the design side

The new DevMode annotations tool is Awesome!!! Having lots of annotations tends to clutter up the screen on the design side, however, and it would be nice to be able to toggle their visibility on and off like with comments or multiplayer cursors. I had assumed that hiding comments would hide these as well, but such is not the case.

Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev mode annotations visible to v

We really need "fill" or "100%" option to set max-width and max-height!

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too. So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages. And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size. So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep growing on the sides as we can see: but this growing effect (which is possible glad the ‘hug’) need to stop when reach the max width from the chip’s parent container and this, Figma can’t help me. So

Use percentages for heights, widths, paddings, gutters in auto layout

This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is. This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

Creating custom shapes in FigJam

Is it possible to create my own custom shapes for use as shapes in FigJam? I am drawing complex process flows, and I need to use a few vector grphics (for example, an octagon) which I created with Adobe Illustrator as FigJam ‘shapes’ so that I can annotate them with text and connect them to other shapes with connector lines. I haven’t been able to find instructions on how to do this. Is this doable? If so, please let me know how. Thank you in advance.

Call up plugins in a quicker menu system on the right sidebar like Adobe

Problem: Currently, you can only have 1 plugin at a time. Having the ability to access multiple plugins like Unsplash, Content Reel, etc… would make it so much quicker when filling in dummy content or about a million other tasks. I would imagine the same type of system that Adobe integrates makes the most sense. This way you could expand/collapse plugins from the right sidebar by clicking on their icon. They could anchor like seen below. Are there any major reasons why this is not a part of the current software?

Dark mode for FigJam

It’s just very bright, and I’d like to get some work done at night without killing my eyes. Please add dark mode. FigJam especially, but it’d be nice throughout. Yeah, just remember the user likes a dark mode, and make dark mode the default for everything: your website, this forum, Figma, …

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.

Allow Hover AND Click together

With the interactive components, a variant can now have a tooltip. But unfortunately hover and clickactions are still mutual exclusive. I’m designing for a desktop application and having a tooltip per inputelement/button is crucial.

Auto-play and Loop Figma Slides Presentation

Is there a way to auto-play a Figma Slides presentation? I created a Slides deck for use at a high school career day booth and I’d like to just start it and let it go through the slides automatically and then repeat until I stop it. Any built-in or creative solutions to achieve this?

Temporarily hiding selection outlines

In other design tools you can simply press a key, and any selection outlines, grab handles, etc. get hidden while the key is down, so you can preview and evaluate how things look, without having to de-select everything and lose your selection. Apparently there is no way to do this in Figma =( This is important while experimenting with different colors, fonts, etc., and in Figma it could be used to see how different sizes, variants, and states, look in your design, without those selection handles and outlines getting in the way of you previewing things.

Multiple Flows Should Have Different Device Frames

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

Component list search field

In our project, we are using around 300+ icons, and we fetch these icons through a component. The list of components is very long, so it is quite difficult to find the icon we want. It would be great if there was a search button here, and we could easily search for and select the icon by its name. Wouldn't it be great if there was a search field added here?

Sharing a video of a prototype
