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, …

Owners should be able to delete comments

I can’t seem to delete other peoples comments they have left. I am the creator / owner of the figma file and can only delete my own comments. Wondering if this is this normal? Why can’t we delete other peoples comments? The only solution I have found is to copy and paste the frames into a new design file which seems somewhat absurd?

Hide a Frame/Section Name from the published component structure

Please add a way to remove specific names from a component name structure. We organize our files to make the components easy to find and that might include putting it inside another frame but we don’t want that frame name to appear when we’re actually using the component. Just like we have the “_” to show that a component isn’t supposed to be published, let us add a marker to a frame name to have it not show on the component library structure. Example: We have Page/Frame/Component, and renaming it to Page/_Frame/Component would show the component under Page/Component.

Hello, I am new to Figma and Ui practise. I have a small doubt with pencil tool. While holding shift key and drag mouse I get vertical and horizontal straight lines. But, I can’t get tangent straight lines with the help of this. Can anyone please show how to draw tangent straight lines in Figma with pencil tool.

Dev mode only sharing (WITHOUT PAYING FOR SEATS)

As a freelancer, I often need to share files with developers, however, not all clients have a paid account and I don’t want to have to pay for a new seat for every developer who needs access to Dev mode or ask my clients to pay for Figma.

Can we have a way to undelete comments

It would be nice to have a way to undelete a comment. I accidentally deleted a comment when I meant to resolve it. I could not get the comment back. I could not even Undo deleting the comment. Can you please add a trashcan like feature to recover deleted comments?

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

When aliasing a color variable to another (img 1), or using it directly on an element (img 2), we should be able to override the opacity without the need to create a variable for each transparency variation: Cant override opacity in the alias: Example 2 Cant override the fill opacity:

Nested property hidden with multiple selection

Been playing around with the “expose nested properties” feature currently in beta. One of the great uses of variant properties is the ability to batch edit property values on multiple selected components. That use doesn’t carry over to exposed nested properties (yet I hope). Demo file to help When selecting one component instance exposing nested properties, said properties display fine. Add another instance of the same component to your selection (using Shift+Click), and the nested properties outright disappear from the right panel. I haven’t seen this issue raised elsewhere! Do you experience it too?

After delay transitions don't work in component variants

I have a scenario. I have a form in which I want to submit a comment. The comment object is on the screen and is a component with 3 variants: 1 > hidden (note-hidden) This is the component on the screen where it is at 0% visibility and 1px tall. 2 > transition state where it looks yellow (note-transition) Note is full size but is a yellow tone. 3 > the final state (note-default) The note is in it’s normal state. When I tap the submit on the form button I use a variable to change the variant from note-hidden to note-transition. The variant “note-transition” has an after-delay action to change it from yellow to the normal color. This is the old school 37Signals yellow fade pattern. The issue is that when I use a variable to change the variant, the “after delay” doesn’t work and it just stays as the “note-transition” state. My take is that this transition should trigger and it’s a bug.

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 keyboard shortcut to toggle annotations visibility

In our flow, we try to use annotations to describe data paths for components and text fields. In some cases the dev mode UI becomes cluttered. A keyboard shortcut to toggle annotation visibility would solve this issue and also align the toolbar option with the others around it. As this is targeted to developers, they find more comfort into using the keyboard more. Side-note: i think there is a small bug: in a section, with multiple frames that contain annotations, the selected frame will have the annotations visible. But if no frame is selected, one of them will have the annotations visible. I don’t see a clear algorithm regarding the winning frame here.

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?

Open Source plan(s)

As already mentioned here:🔗 https://forum.figma.com/archive-21/make-figma-free-for-open-source-projects-21667 It would be awesome to have an open source plan with more features — like unlimited public design files or access to some of the technical features from the Professional plan. ✨ Maybe a good compromise could be a discounted plan — like $10/month — that includes variables by API and similar tools. 💡For open source developers working in their free time, the $20/month Professional plan is already quite a stretch — and $90/month for the Organization plan is simply out of reach. 😵‍💫 All of this is just for public design files anyway — which helps promote Figma itself. 📢For private projects, I totally understand the need for stricter pricing. 🔒

Extended/No Expiration Personal access tokens

before 🤗 Previously, you could generate a [no expire] token now 😔 If users rely on tokens to access the figma open api, forgetting to replace expired tokens can cause serious problems. The expiration date of the limited period will cause the figma token to no longer have usage value.

Figma Mirror for TV (Android TV and AppleTV)

I have been designing for set-top boxes for several years now. And it is very convenient to do it through the transmission of the screen to the TV. But, there is no official support for Figma Mirror for TV sets. Many times I wrote to support and asked, but I always got the answer that there is no support. The most interesting thing is that Figma Mirror works perfectly on Nvidia Shield or Google Chrome (last generation) set-top boxes. You only need to put the app through aptoide. But with each time figma mirror refines the functionality for the phone, which severely degrades the functionality in TVs. For example, last year, after another update, the Remote Control for prototyping stopped working on the TV. It was very convenient to make a prototype, connect the buttons on the remote, and control the app. It felt like you were really using an out-of-the-box app. But it doesn’t work anymore. The second example happened with the last update. There was onboarding, which doesn’t allow you to

Moving All Comments with Your Selection Area

Is it possible to have all comments within your click-and-drag selection area move? Currently, if comments are pinned on an actual frame, they’ll move with it, but it would be nice for comments outside of a frame to move as well as sometimes I like to leave comments right outside my actual design (sometimes a bunch of comments can get in the way and be distracting when designing or reviewing designs with others). In another example, when I’m organizing my page, clicking and dragging to select a group of items in figma should move everything in that area (think maybe a few components, groups, frames, scattered comments outside of frames moving all at the same time). Would make this process lot more easier and efficient instead of having to move outside comments one at a time! One more nice-to-have is if the “undo” feature works on comments too to remove comments you didn’t mean to put or put it back from where you last moved it.

See where component is used / find component Instances across files

As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file Ask the community I am a manager of the design system library in my org and I am trying to find instances of components in other designer files via the Org Libraries options, to see how components are being used. Clicking on a component takes me to the design file, but it doesn’t link to the frame where the component is used, which is what I would expect (even if it’s used in multiple instances, I would want to see at least one of them). So I have to m

How about having a proxy setting in the desktop software?

I don’t know where Figma’s server is but def. not in my country. So it is slow sometimes and can’t even open a file sometimes. So why not add a proxy setting so that we can speed things up if we need?

Letter Spacing requires smaller incremental changes

I am playing around with letter spacing. The slider (and when using arrow keys) needs to make adjustments in smaller increments to make it a more user friendly experience. When adjusting letter spacing this is typically a very fragile process with small chnages made in either direction. Ideally I want to keep this active and have the ability to make very small adjustments (perhaps with the addition of a hot key / shortcut). I can’t be the only one that feels this way, it just does not feel usable in its current form.(does anyone @figma kern ?)
