My Figma Black is not Black (it’s black in other applications) – any suggestions gratefully received.

I had personal setbacks that caused my graduation to be delayed. My education plan has expired -- I transfered the projects I was working on onto a starter team but I am not sure if I am going to be able to continue to work on them after my education plan expires 

Since one of the most recent updates, text layers no longer update without restarting the entire prototype from scratch. For instance, I have a button that says “Save” and change the text to “Update”. Then I look at the prototype and the button text says “U” and not the entire text I added. Refreshing does nothing. I have to close and relaunch it to see the text change. This is across all component instances and is specific to text.I’m convinced Figma doesn’t do QA work sometimes. Every prototype has this problem now. I don’t want to “reset” Figma app for the 100th time either.

I prefer to use a limited design where I can see fonts, colors, size and so on. It seems that I have changed my settings and now “Prottype” TAB is installed…. I woud like to go back to previous settings - to “Properties type”. 

In my design system, I wanna provide a couple of components that act as containers, e.g., Popover. So, the Figma-user / design system consumer can put inside whatever it needs (img, text…). I don’t want to be too specific & restrictive here. Currently, the components in Figma act more as closed constructs: All the options we want to provide have to be designed in advance as variants, variables, etc. This is cool for consistency, but it is super rigid for a custom content that can’t be foreseen. The only way I could provide some flexibility is by suggesting the Figma designer to detach the component instance and then put the custom content inside. Any thoughts, workarounds, plugins, coming Figma features?

 Hey our team is having the issue when viewing our designs that the scroll position keeps jumping and resetting. This happens on almost every screen and the behaviour is inconsistent, meaning sometimes nothing happens and everything works well and sometimes its completely unusable. This is issue is causing a lot of frustration and problems for our team and design development process. We can’t reliably use Figma prototyping features for user testing since the users are met with buggy scroll behaviour no matter what device they are using. Making design testing and viewing frustrating and almost impossible is in my opinion completely unacceptable from what is supposed to be the industry standard design tool.So far we have tried:Detaching instances Viewing in Figma (both the modal view and full page view), in browser and on phone browser

Hi everyone,I would like to update my portfolio and that's where Figma Slides comes into play. My thoughts are to rebuild my new portfolio in the tool. Previously I have always used Indesign, but I find it too static. Slides offers me a larger playing field and I think the animation function is great. Now my question is, if I create a presentation in Slides with small animations, will these also be included in the export as a PDF and if not, will the default state be displayed in the PDF or how does it behave?In Indesign I can export an interactive PDF. There I can then integrate smaller animations such as hover on the button etc.. How is it with Figma Slides, because when I export I cannot choose between PDF and interactive PDF.Looking forward to your feedback.

hello, it would be very much appreciated if it was possible to apply numeric variables to the x & y position of absolute positioned elements within components. Here is the case i am working on: While everything is completely tokenized and adjusts to different screen densities, i cannot apply the positioning tokens to the design defining the absolute positioning of the dropdown -list flyout. As you can see the dis

I’m trying to copy/reuse some components that have Dev Mode annotations, but I want to reuse them to create another type of component, so the current annotations don’t really match the new component and I would just like to remove all annotations all together, but couldn’t find how to do it yet. Is it even possible? If so, how can I do that? 🥸

Oh boy this could have caused a lot of headaches if I didn’t catch this… I do not have “Simple Design System” from Figma added to this file as a library, as indicated by the not-selected “Add to file” button: (the only reason I see it in the library list at all is cause I took the screenshot after dragging in the wrong component) I did a search for the “textarea” component that we have in our own custom design system that IS added as a library, and this is what I saw:

Hello,For over a month now, the search function in Figma has not been working correctly for layers—whether text, graphic, or any other type. Instead of displaying specific elements, the search results only show design thumbnails, making the search feature practically useless.This issue severely impacts workflow, especially in large projects. Without the ability to quickly locate layers and text, navigation and editing become chaotic and significantly more time-consuming.We believe this is a widespread issue affecting many users, not just our team. We would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and any updates on a solution.Thank you! Looking forward to your response. 

I had this problem and saw another post in which people didn’t had their answer;I tried everything i could, in my modest experience with Figma, but i kept getting the exports with a thin white line, sometimes top, bottom or sides. I tried to increase the canvas with couple px, exporting multiple sizes (x1, x1.5., x2, etc) - had same results, nothing worked.In the end, i managed to find the bug and the fix. My solution is pretty simple:Create a new frame with the desired size (exactly what you need, not +/- px). Then, you can copy-paste the graphics from the frame that has the export error to the newly created frame, just don’t copy-paste the whole frame. I noticed if you copy-paste / duplicate the frames is when the exported error happens, be it with one line top, bottom, two lines on the sides, etc. Double check in the preview area, and export.I started having this problem when i was duplicating frames in order to change few items, s

I’ve already fixed typo of a color style variable name from Bg-Reverse-A00 to Bg-Reverse-A100 But still got old JSON data:```bash curl -H "X-Figma-Token: <my-token>" "https://api.figma.com/v1/files/<my-file-id>/styles"``` I tried to suffix the URL with “?timestamp=random_number” but still got the same old data. 

I enrolled for the education plan and its says i have all the perks under the professional plan but i can’t access the dev mode, and its prompting me to upgrade my plan any idea why is it though

Hey community, I hope you can help! I found a very strange behavior of a basic design tool: Strokes. If I want to wrap an element that is filled with color (I tried rectangles, frames or autolayouts) in an autolayout and I want the outside autolayout to have an insight stroke. But somehow the insight stroke is not visible. It is like the inner element overlaps the colors and strokes of the outer autolayout. Why is it suddenly like that? In the past the described path worked just fine and I do have files with such elements. But I cannot recreate them. Where there any changes made with reference to this in the last releases? I hope anyone knows an answer or maybe even has a solution? Greetings! ✌️

My initial deduction was based on 5 design seats, and for the new deduction, I would like to deduct based on 2 design seats. I hope to receive a refund for the additional 3 seats.nvoice numberC2E1C145-0041 

It would be possible to have more regular updates on Figma Enterprise PKG and MSI files? Users mention that the application installed by the management console is old, date from December 2024 (124.6.5) and the website has newer versions but this prevents us from installing one by one, as we do not have recent PKG in the admin console like new ones (125.1.5). Why is the enterprise version not available like the version on the Figma website which is much more recent? Thanks

Hi everyone  I am creating a hero section & would like to change the bottom of it to have a wavy curved effect.I know this can be done as as a shape and then edit the bottom of it by editing the points then adding a frame round the hero section is this the correct way or can i edit the bottom of a frame section to create the desired curves.would creating different shapes to a section need to be created as shape elements and then nested in a frame. thanks  Ang 

Hey everyone, I’m facing a weird issue with a Component in Figma, and I’d really appreciate some help!I created a dropdown menu inside a Main Component with two states:Closed state – The menu is hidden. Open state – The menu expands, showing the options.The issue:When I use an Instance of this component in my design, the dropdown opens fine, but I can't click on any of the options inside it! The options don’t have any interactions inside the Main Component, they’re just arranged properly. The only way to make the buttons work is to detach the Instance, but that defeats the purpose of using a Component. I checked the layer order to make sure nothing is blocking the options, but the issue persists.Is there som

Good afternoon, I’ve been working on this UI kit I downloaded for a few hours, and I just relised then that along the way something has occured that has caused these strange stripes running vertically down each frame. The colour itself does look to be one of my colour varients, however I have no idea how this has occured. Can anyone assist in helping me get rid if this?

HiI’m looking for a plugin to convert CSS colour variables to Figma colour tokens.For example, I could feed the plugin these two CSS colour variables  --card-okay-icon: #4ade80;                    --card-okay-icon-bg: rgba(74, 222, 128, 0.2);  and plugin would produce screengrab below.I can find lots of plugins doing it the other way round but not finding any that match this direction (CSS → Figma Variable)  

For some Time I have been researching a way in Figma for a swipe or probably rather drag gestures that moves diagonally vs. Just horizontally or vertically. Think fruit Ninja Game, basically you can slice a fruit from any angle. The Idea is to have an object in the center surrounded by multiple buckets, and I want to drag that object into its respective bucket. Then I could transition to next screen indicating that the object has been added to the bucket. To be more clear some of the buckets will be off-set obviously and not on the horizontal or vertical axis hence “diagonal”, see image attached. So ideally, I tap the red item and drag it into the bucket. That action should also be reversible, to empty the bucket. And it should work in one smooth way, so the moment I tap it I am able to drag it.

I’m currently working and collaborating with a large team on the following:Design File (Each designer has their own branch) Design System File (Each designer has their own branch)Now, I’d like to link my Design System branch to my Design File branch to preview the impact of my changes without affecting the rest of the team's work. Is this possible?

When I create new variant properties, or new text styles, the newest addition will land at the bottom of the dropdown list in the right hand pane. Is there a way to reorganise these?

Im trying to create a search bar in Figma. I have the bar set up, but the search blinker I created isn't behaving as expected. I want it to move behind the typed text, but instead, it keeps reverting to its original position, which is between the search icon and the word search or to the end of search bar entirely
