This new pricing model for Dev Mode $35/seat/month just to inspect already finished designs is so out of touch with reality, I have no words. We have an enterprise Figma license and we capped Editor seats to a minimum because it’s hard to sell to C-level. This limits UX maturity and spread of Figma usage in product development across the whole org. We have about 4x as much full-stack developers as we have designers, who OCCASIONALLY need to inspect designs. How the bleep are we supposed to sell those seats to C-level executives? This is completely unrealistic and limits not only spread of Figma usage, but design-led product development in our org even more. If we are to keep Figma, all of our designers are left with one option, to extensively micro-document each design for devs to read as a book. Losing huge chunk of our UX time. What a self-destructing pricing strategy from Figma. What do we do now?
A tiny tiny detail that would make life a lot easier would be auto-tabbing the cursor’s focus to the search bar when I switch from “Custom” to “Libraries”. 99% of the time when working in a large design system I need to search for the colour/variable I want, there’s too many to scroll through. But I always have to make that extra click into the search bar and I often naturally start typing only to realise it isn’t tabbed (accidentally pressing shortcut/hotkeys along the way).Whereas you compare to the File/Asset content switcher it DOES auto-tab once you switch into Assets so its not consistent.Small interaction would save a lot of time! 🙏
We used to have annual seats for our own staff, and use monthly seats for adhoc collaborators - but with the new billing system Figma has changed everything to annual seats, making our total expense explode! It seems there is no way to degrade an annual plan. Only a way to grow, and feed Figma’s greedy pocket!
The cursor is entirely too small now and feels extremely latent at the new angle. Please, Figma, don’t fix something that’s not broken! The cursor is a tool, not a pointer.Also the addition of light fields on a dark background is fairly disorienting and clutters the surroundings of all info inside the fields. Slows down workflow and makes info less “glance-able”.
it’s really really not convenient for me
The status on sections for ‘Ready for dev’ are great but it would be really useful if we can have more or the ability to create custom ones for the design phase. Working in a client environment it would be hand to have the ability to mark a section as the ‘Approved designs’ with a date stamp. other useful ones would be ‘On hold’, ‘Shortlisted’ and ‘Archive’ but the ability to make our own would be brilliant. Cheers.
Oh my godness.I’ve tried a new version of figma slides and loved it so much! The possibility to download presentation both in PDF and PPTX is the state-of-art feature actually. Collaborating killed me because it’s basically stunning. Templates are fire too!!!I’ll never use anything but Figma slides.Thank you Figma Team for creating this! Have a nice day!
There are a lot of great adjustments and logical changes within UI3, however one of the main reasons I’ve still been using UI2 is the floating action bar.Can we get an option to dock this to the top of the screen or put it elsewhere? I use hotkeys for all of these actions and it’s kind of distracting in the center bottom of my screen with a dark background that keeps drawing my ADHD brain to focus on it when it’s not important to actually building designs.
I saw the update, “We updated the file browser to create a more consistent and seamless experience as you use Figma products.”I have too many files in projects -- I need the List View to skim them fast. This change does not make a more consistent and seamless experience, it’s slowing me down and making it much harder to find the files I need. Please bring this back, this is impeding my ability to find things.Is there a plugin I can use to get my list view back?
I just noticed something while transitioning from UI 2 to UI 3, and I’m wondering if others feel the same.Earlier, when using the K (Scale) shortcut, the focus was set in a way that pressing Tab would quickly take you to the width adjustment field. This made it really efficient to scale objects while maintaining precise dimensions.Now in UI 3, pressing Tab inside the scaling option focuses on anchor points first and seems to stay within that section instead of quickly moving to width or height. This small change makes scaling a bit less efficient for me since I now need extra keystrokes to get to the fields I use most.Does anyone else find this workflow slower? Or am I missing something? Would love to hear thoughts from the community!(Figma team, if you're reading this, it would be great if we could have the previous tab focus behavior back!) [Attaching screenshots for reference]
As in the title. Either I will stay longer at work to do my job or I’ll change to HTML/CSS completely. Want to help? IMPLEMENT TABLES/GRIDS, NOT CRAPPY UI.
Some floating window panels in Figma are too small. For example, the color panel. I've created some color variables, but every time I want to select a color, I have to use the scroll bar to find a specific one. It's really exhausting because selecting colors is a frequently performed operation. Why can't we increase the height of these floating windows?
When I serach for a file on the home page, this research among the entire files contents (which is good). But this search algorithm do not prioritize file name it self. For example, if I have a clear match with the file name (meaning search = “ABCD”, filename = “ABCD - Project name”), this should be displayed at the top.
DOnt know why figma must hide propeties and the most of time user have to expand it to continue. Bad ux and create many annoying
Hey, just wanted to bump this thread, as it’s been 2+ years and this issue still persists. It’s annoyin as hell and requires to create unnecessary wrappers just to eliminate this problem.Solution: I’d expect the swap component property to only affect the component itself, not the particular variant of it. Therefore I could set multiple Slots to be of a single component type (eg Button), then fine-tune their appearances slightly via that component variants (eg Button: Primary | Secondary | Tertiary etc.).
Please tell me if I'm just too used to something else, but this doesn't feel intuitive. It doesn't look like a button, let alone something clickable. I spent days trying to figure out how to bring the properties of a base component into the parent component.Additionally, I have to hover over it to even realize that applying the variable is possible—there's no visual indication of it. You need to hover to discover it.
"Regarding the page names on the left side of Figma, when we are building a component library, each component may have updates. We hope that there can be a tag next to the page name to indicate the 'updated' status. Is it possible for Figma to implement this in the future?"
I want to slice the layers within a frame, but the 'Snap to Pixel Grid' feature is not activated, which makes the slicing process very inconvenient. I would like to know the reason why this feature is no longer available. Please bring back this functionality, as its absence is causing disruptions in my work. When working with Auto Layout and framing the entire page for slicing, I hope the 'Snap to Pixel Grid' feature will be activated. Figma, please take quick action.
The “Start editing” alert dialog seems like a dark pattern. People could accidentally upgrade their seat without realizing it. This wasn’t a necessary addition. Was someone confused about how to upgrade their seats, because if not, this comes across very shady.
I’m trying to take the certification course ($97) and I got stuck because the menu in the video is different than the menu in the app. See attachment. Of course there isn’t a phone number to call about this. Outside of demanding a refund, I thought I’d try asking here. The Back to Files option at the top of the menu doesn’t exist in my copy. I have the latest version installed. A pet peeve about doing these online courses is there isn’t a a human to contact, and the AI chat bot is an idiot.
It’s been extremely helpful for devs to be able to add their own annotations during handover. Using comments will only add extra clutter to people’s inboxes with unnecessary notifications
Hello!I would love to get support about moving files from an expired account to a new account.I have been using my school account for the edu plan and got a notification it is expired. I still need to use the materials in the previous account, Is there any way I can access and edit the files in the previous account?
Hi,I’m digging the Figma app - it is helpful. I’m used to having the blending options show right under “Appearance” but now, I’m seeing that I have to select the color hex button to access blending options like “Overlay” or “Multiply”. Can we get this back to the way it was? I’m not sure if I’m missing anything on my end but if this is the latest release, it is a cumbersome experience for me to have an additional click just to access the blending tool. Furthermore, how would I even know which layers have blending associated with them? As of now, I’m forced to click that layer, then the color palette, and then be able to see the drop icon to see if it indeed has blending on it. The 1st 3 screenshots are the current experience I’m seeing. The latter 2 are the previous version - which I think it a whole lot better and saves a lot of time. Thank you.
The Figma boards I work with (on Mac) are very wide and tall. The slider navigation is just too hard to grab on the bottom of the screen when there are other menus popped over, and it disappears into the board and into the images, perhaps there could be a setting allowing the user to change the color to meet their current visibility needs. It would also be nice if the right and left menus could be easier to fully minimize out of the way (without using the permanent setting to remove them from my view). I am not always working on an external monitor and on the 14” screen these take up almost 4” of the design window.
Coloring strokeHi guys,I have an idea that can we have all stroke property below for each generated color?For example, I want right stroke to be blue, and down stroke to be black, how can I do that?
