Hello everyone,there has been a few reports of my plugin https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1404783727338541788/infinite-variable-modes not working for some users (it runs, shows some UI, but fails either at fetching variable collections, or at messaging between the UI and the part making calls to Figma plugin API), and it seems to have something to do with the type of plan(license) the user has. As far as I know, it should work fine on Free and Pro, but seems to struggle on Org and Enterprise. I was able to do a little testing with one of the users (Enterprise), who had an issue with the plugin, and as soon as he switched to his personal account (Free or Pro, not sure), it worked just fine. I wasn’t able to identify any other differences between the users for whom it works, and for whom it does not.Have anyone experienced something like this before? Either from the user or the developer perspective?Could there be some sort of settings in these Org and Enterprise plans, that could

I’ve created some variables, but one of them is not appearing when I search for it to try and use it inside a gradient. You can see here that I have created the --color-good-light variable. However when I try to search for it inside the same design file, it doesn’t appear Not sure what I am doing wrong?

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to create a component that has some text that should be one of the defined text styles. I would like to have the text be a property of that component just like for example you can have an instance swap property to swap out icons. I know I could just make a bunch of variants with all the text styles but that seems a bit cumbersome. Especially if for example you have 14 text styles groups with say 4 styles per group.

Hi,I’ve developed a Figma plugin that I’m excited to share with the community. However, when I tried to submit it, I encountered an issue: the plugin exceeds the 15MB size limit. Currently, my plugin is 186MB, which is significantly larger than the allowed size.Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue so I can successfully upload my plugin to the Figma Community? Are there any solutions or workarounds that would allow me to share my plugin despite its large size?I’d greatly appreciate your assistance!Thank you.

Figma links should open in the App. Stop cluttering my tabs. It’s bad enough to have to have the Figma forum open for all the things wrong about this app.

Hi, Context I am prototyping a table which contains the following labels: Name1 Name2 Name3 Desired behaviour I want to be able to set a String variable to be the value of the text that I click. For example, if I click on Name1, the variable is set to be “Name1”. Current approach I have to set the click event per label and manually set the value to set the variable to. For example, upon click of the Name1 label, I have to manually set the string to be “Name1”. Challenge This is very manual. If I have a long list of names, and will have multiple tables in different screens, this will take more time than seems necessary. Desired approach I want to be able to create a generic prototype function that refers to the text value of the label rather than explicitly having to manually define the text string. For example, in programmatic terms, this function would be something like variable=clickedItem.text. Question Are we able to do this in Figma? For example, does Figma support use of a java

Hello everyone, first time here!I'm working on a product developed in Flutter, and we're facing an issue with our icon library in Figma.Every time developers import icons from the Figma library, they render incorrectly.Here’s an example: These four icons (all using the Non-Zero rule for vectors) are correctly set up in my Figma Icons Library.  However, when developers use the library, the icons appear distorted. Is there a way to fix this within the icon structure in Figma? I've already tried some solutions, like flattening all vector layers and ensuring bars have no fill when applicable, but the issue persists.Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

A design file I created in January disappeared after the last update. I can’t find it anywhere, neither in drafts, nor in trash, nor in team projects. I have no other accounts. The search shows nothing. The desktop version of Figma doesnt differ from the web one. My project disappeared as if it had never existed.

Is there a way to customize the number of slides per row in grid view on Figma slides? I’ve googled a bunch to no avail My laptop screen is small, I’d rather not have to scroll left right and up and down to navigate around my slides, plus sometimes I want a side up side comparison of 2 slides but if one is at the end of the row I have to completely move both slides to a random place in the middle of the deck, compare/edit, then place back

We maintain a living design system that our customers, outside of our Figma organization, use in their projects. When we release a new version of the design system, our customers must use the Swap library feature to update their projects with the latest version. The issue is that the property setup on component instances used in projects is often reset to default values after the swap. This occurs on components where we added or removed, a property, or if a variant was removed or added. Ideally, this should not affect the untouched properties, but it does. Figma has been notified of this problem, and they have stated that it is a product limitation, which appears to be a bug. We are open to any suggestions on how to optimise our workflow and the distribution of the design system.

i have done my assignment and suddenly  in the slide deck I can’t remove the background from the  college assignment.And how can i remove the background from slide deck 

The structure of this app is basically one long scroll with 4 modules one after the other. Each module title can be seen at all times either at the bottom or top of the screen depending on which of the 4 modules we are currently viewing. So basically I'm using sticky top for the module headings and trying to bootleg sticky bottom somehow but it's looking very glitchy.  The structure I used to achieve this is: each module has 2 titles, one that moves to the top of the screen with the module and stays there (sticky top) and one at the bottom of the screen. The title at the bottom is a layer behind the module itself so as we scroll up it is overlapped and it looks like it moved to the top of the screen going from sticky bottom to sticky top. Image shows module 2 heading moving up as user scrolls  The issue im having is the sticky top module title is in front of the bottom module titles as we scroll up (image 3) the top title has to be in front of the module so when it sticks to the top we

I used the ‘remove background’ feature on an image, but in presentation mode, the background still shows upin the slides:in presentation, the white background still shows up: 

I am encountering an “issue” with instance swapping, tho I think it might be linked to a new feature rather than being an actual bug.I want to replace a component (radio button) from a specific Design System library with a similar one from another, also published library, but I am unable to, as the component does not show up in the “choose instance” swapping menu.It seems components that I have, at some point, duplicated and modified to fit the constraint of that Design System’s brand guidelines (color and shape) is considered the same, even tho they aren’t.I am now forced to rebuild new components from scratch instead of simply swapping them. It’s tedious and especially annoying when it worked fine previously.These are similar components from different libraries. Figma considers the darker version as an update to the first, when they are from completely different libraries.Please help or fix thanks

I’ve got a library that uses a couple of other libraries to make components. The Assets panel is telling me that I’ve also got another library being used in the file that isn’t linked: But when I click in to find out what’s being used… There’s nothing - no styles, no components. But I don’t have the option to remove it.Anyone else have this happen and know how to get rid of the unwanted library please?

I’m using Material Theme Builder to create a color palette. I’ve checked that it creates the same output as the Material Theme Builder Figma plugin. In this example, shouldn’t be the picked secondary color equal as the secondary color generated in the palette. For example, I use the following colors in the Material Theme Builder plugin: Primary: 00687C Secondary: 4B6269 Tertiary: 585C7E Error: BA1A1A Neutral: F8F9FB Neutral variant: 8C9294 After creating the theme I get the following palette: Which is totally not the palette that should be generated. Take for example a look at the secondary color for the light theme, which should be S-40, but instead it is #00687A, which differs a lot from S-40 which is #4B6269. Is the Material Theme Builder broken or am I missing something?

I’m designing against the Fluent 2 component library which uses Segoe UI as the base font. It’s a very full featured library and has many variables. The base font is defined in a variable group “Topography”, then “Font-family”, then “Base”.If you don’t change this variable, all text in the entire file is rendered uneditable and I fought the good fight for a combined five hours. There was no error here and it seemed that even trying to change the variable would fail.It *seems* that logging out and back in again has fixed it (I also upgraded my account between logins) but this was immensely frustrating during the three sessions I spent trying to make it work.Is someone able to replicate this? Can it be fixed or at least an error message presented to prompt how to fix it? At first I thought I had to upgrade from Professional ($15/mo) to Enterprise ($75/mo) because of some errors while importing the component library.As a very new user, this was a pretty sour experience.

Im working on a document exporting several frames to pdf and all of a sudden one frame got exported as a blank page even tho i have exported it before without issue, if i exported as a different type of file like svg i get no problems but as a pdf it always comes as a blank file, really weird.i tried taking out elements and pasting them again but to no avail, i also made sure everything is inside the frame so i dont know what the issue could be.

hiii bought the profecional team access and can not enter to the dev mode please help

Smart Animate is a great feature for designer but how is it translated when Dev receives this? I am able to find the following code for an on/off toggle component: // On click // Change to: "State=On"; // Animate: Smart animate; animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.45, 1.45, 0.8, 1); animation-duration: 300ms; // On click // Change to: "State=Off"; // Animate: Smart animate; animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.45, 1.45, 0.8, 1); animation-duration: 300ms; When developer see the line “Animate: Smart animate;”, will this make sense for them when they write in code?

Issue when using % to set the line height for text.The issue does not seem to be related to any particular typeface/font.Currently when the font size is above 95px, the line height in %, behaves as expected and adjusts per 1% increment. When its below 95px, it starts to skip a percent (around 91-94%) here and there. The bigger issue is when using smaller font sizes (e.g 12-20 px). Line height isn’t adjusting per 1% increments but skips to about 5-7% increments. Expected behaviour is for it to be consistent and adjust per 1% increment at any font size; just like when using pixels to adjust the line height, where it adjust per 1px increment.Is this a known issue? If not when can a possible fix be implemented ?

Subject: Issue with Component Property Editing in the Insert DialogueDescription: I’ve encountered an inconsistency when using components in Figma, particularly when trying to edit their properties directly from the insert dialogue under the Assets panel. Here's the exact scenario: I created a button component using Auto Layout that contains an icon and text. I set up properties for this component to allow swapping the icon and editing the text. When I go to another page and attempt to insert an instance of this component from the Assets panel, I see the option to insert it. However, the insert dialogue does not offer me the ability to change the text or swap the icon directly before inserting the instance. After inserting the instance on the canvas, I can adjust the properties as expected, but my goal is to make these changes at the point of insertion. This issue is not unique to me—my entire class is experiencing the same behavior except for our teacher. On the teacher’s accoun

I added a new property for the component Menüpunkte named Text. At Text the ! says:“Not used within properties” When I click on a variant, e.g. the first Über mich, I can only choose the Status Property. Why and how can I solve this issue? Why does the variant does not have the property text from the component, which I added before? Best regards, Oliver

We are experiencing a weird issue in Figma where library “Text Styles” applied to text layers or component instances get detached on random. Our fix is to use a semi-automated way of selecting all text layers on a screen and then perform the “Reset text style” action. The issue is persistent and seems to happen at random - anyone experienced something similar before? There is a closed topic on what seems like the same issue, with no resolution provided - Text Styles randomly get detached from original file
