Figma Site background

Hi,

I'm trying out Figma sites. Looks very promising. It's nice to finally bring a design to life myself. It won't be long before it feels like you're saving a PDF from Indesign.


What I'm running into quite quickly is setting a background pattern on top of a solid color. I use a SVG as a component for this, but at that moment the preview goes black. In edit mode it looks fine.

Any suggestions?
 

Best regards,

Aran

Hey ​@Aran van Nieuwenhoven,

 

Thanks so much for your patience while we looked into this.

 

I checked in with our Product and Technical Quality teams, and this is a known limitation they’re currently tracking. While I don’t have a timeline to share just yet for when support might be added, I can confirm that you’ll likely see a lint error in the left sidebar noting that this isn’t currently supported. In the case you brought up here — applying a background pattern on top of a solid color — that specific combination isn’t available at this time, but the content on the page should still render without any issues.

 

Hope this helps make things more clear for now. Let us know if anything else comes up, and we’ll be sure to share any updates as they become available.
