I am trying to create an interactive component that can be reused across multiple Figma files. I want to be able to open a variant as an overlay while hovering but when I select “Open overlay”, it does not provide me with the option to select the variant as the overlay. Please help me understand what is going wrong.
We want to use it to link design variables to the design tokens in our application. Our company runs on a Professional plan. There are only 10 users that need access, so we don’t have any need to go to an Organization or Enterprise. I saw the same question here, but it wasn’t answered and just pointed to the Plugin API which has an entirely different use case.
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed some changes in Figma’s UI recently (possibly after the latest update), and I wanted to check if others are experiencing the same: Dragging to Adjust Input Fields I used to be able to click and drag on fields like “X”, “Y”, “Blur”, etc., to increase or decrease their values interactively. Now, it seems that functionality is gone—I can only type values manually or use the arrow keys. Is this an intentional change, or a bug? Middle Mouse Scrolling Additionally, I can’t scroll the canvas using the middle mouse button anymore. It was a super handy feature for navigating around quickly. Has anyone else encountered these issues? Are there workarounds, or is this a confirmed change in Figma’s behavior? I’m using Desktop App on Windows if that helps. Thanks in advance!
Hi, We’re trying to export some assets from Figma (either JPEG or PNG) is fine, but running into some issues with resolution. If we export at 1x, the image is low quality… however, if we export at 2x it doubles the dimensions of the image itself (for most ad platforms this is fine, but this time we need it in the exact dimensions) I’ve tried exporting at 2x and scaling down using other online tools, but the assets then become low quality again. Anyone else had this issue / managed to solve it?
При нажатии на объект, перестала работать правая кнопка мыши (тач на маке) — не показывает контекстное меню. Во всех других программах и в самой фигме везде работает, кроме драфта. Как можно исправить?
I’m writing to express our frustration as we’ve been waiting for nearly 2 weeks without a response from Figma’s support team. My team and I submitted an inquiry and have been eagerly awaiting assistance, but so far, we’ve heard nothing back. We are in the process of creating a prototype for our startup and urgently need access to additional features, specifically the ability to add more than 4 modes for each variable. This is a critical feature for us, and we’re feeling stuck without it. Any guidance on how we can get in touch with the right people would be greatly appreciated.
I want to create a responsive toggle element for my design system, with a text+image label for both sides (selected / unselected states). The text length may be different depending on the feature. But, I want my toggle to do an equal width for both sides, adding padding where needed to the side with shorter text, to ensure the “split” between the 2 is in the middle of the element. To show what I mean, the top image is the current implementation using hug/auto layouts and padding - the shorter label’s side is narrower. I want to achieve the bottom variant, obviously I can do it by hand but I want to make the component responsive so I can type whatever label I want and it would do it? Is this possible?
Hi I’m a newbie on Figma I usually design on Adobe Illustration, and I’ve wondering if Figma can do this? like when click on the button the Textbox will pop-up behind the button icon. I know there’s an Overlay option in prototype mode but it still show in front of the Icon. but in Figma it’ll only show in front of the icon. thank you in advance.
if i need to create Color Gradient in Local Variables, How can i do it ?
When exporting a copy of a local file multiple times, a validation bot prompt pops up, in which case the file administrator is notified if someone has exported the design file
I’ve noticed that SVG export sizes have gone from around 20KB up to 800KB. Whatever changes have been put through in the last month is effecting it’s usability for the web exports. Our site has a banner limit of 100KB and SVG has been an invaluable resource in meeting these restrictions. However, within the last month when I exported suddenly I am seeing consistently large file sizes of close to 1MB (800KB) for an image comprised of a single background colour and text. This needs urgent attention as it basically makes Figma useless for any vector artwork.
Like most users, I end up with many layers (often in nested groups) and sometimes I just want to back “up” one level to apply some settings, or nudge it with the keyboard, etc. For example: I have a button (component) that is buried some levels down inside a few different nested groups, and I want to nudge it a few pixels to the left. Currently, I have to click/double-click on the element repeatedly until I reach the button (but not too deep or I’ll select the text which cannot be “nudged” with the arrow keys to move the button). A trick I used often in Sketch is to command+click to directly jump to the deepest level, then tap the ESC key to go up one level where I can nudge to my heart’s content. This 1/2 works in Figma. Command+click works - and is useful for text overrides, for example - but tapping the ESC key is a global deselect function. While deselecting everything is sometimes useful, it’s easy to click on the artboard or an area with no objects if that’s what you want to do.
Hello everyone! I have a problem with Figma Web where I can’t edit because there are missing fonts. I have tried looking for solutions and reading several topics in the community, but I haven’t been successful. My main issue is that my MacOS is stuck at 10.15 (Catalina) and cannot be updated anymore, and I do not have any other devices that I can use at the moment. Meanwhile, the Figma Desktop app is no longer accessible because it requires at least OS 11.0, and the Figma Font Agent also cannot be installed due to the outdated OS. So, is there a solution for those of us still using an old OS? Is there a Figma Font Agent that we can install for older OS versions? Or are there other solutions, such as installing an older version of Figma Desktop that is still accessible? Please help, as I currently cannot update my OS (the updates have stopped at 10.15) and I am unable to purchase a new device with a different OS.
We can save one or more effects as a style and assign them a name. However, this is often inconvenient and usually unnecessary. Naming individual effects would be extremely helpful. This would eliminate the need to identify them through clicking on each effect to view its properties, which can be confusing, since similar effects might have comparable values. Less clicking, less scanning, less headache .
The color displaying on screen (#4ba2af) is different from the color I select on the properties panel (#15A5B1). Then, after exporting in PNG, the color changes again (#4ca0ae). This happens in sRGB as my color profile, on Windows. I also tried switching to Display P3 but the issue persists. I checked this with a color picker tool and you can see it in the screenshots attached. Any solutions to this issue?
Hello ! Everything is in the title 🙂 I really do think that Figma should work on a functionality that would allow designer to insert icons/images/etc into text content while keeping the responsive aspect of our design. Waiting for that update so bad, but if anyone has a hack to do it, I am aware! I already tried using auto layout but I had to split my text and it is painful when I want to make changes… Most of Adobe softs know how to do it. Ask them to share their knowledge, haha! Please Figma, read me. Hear me. Do it. ^^ Thanks!
Does anyone know if a Figma plugin exists to manage multi level token systems so that you can swap in new color palettes underneath a semantic token set? I’d like to be able to search within a collection and swap all tokens that are assigned to a token with some keyword text like red or blue with another set of tokens with a different key word like green or yellow. The colors could be swapped by matching another sub string like 100, 200, 300 etc. or how ever they are organized. The goal would be to have a color system expressed with semantic tokens that are easy to reassign in bulk. Like Themer but for tokens. Haven’t found this…
Hi ! I searched for an answers about that but didn’t find anyone talking about. In my workflow I often use Color styles and Effect styles to make it easier when I want to apply the same pattern and effect of an object. I was wondering if there is a way to have the same feature, but to save both of them in the same time. I know it’s not a feature so important to have but maybe if there is a way please tell me it would help ! Thanks !
