UI3 Feedback

click_Mao · 2024-07-03T02:02:06+00:00

What I can’t stand the most is that the panels of the new UI can’t be attached to the edges. They leave some gaps, wasting the space to display the main design and operation area. And visually, these gaps are also distracting my attention. The toolbar at the bottom also interferes with the main operation space, especially if its color is the same as my design draft. By the way, is it just for the convenience of novices to move it from the top to the bottom? If someone who uses Figma more frequently, he will use shortcuts instead of mouse clicks to trigger these functions. So I hope that adjustments can be made in time in the official version of UI3, otherwise these redesign will seem like a subjective conjecture of someone who doesn’t use Figma much.

The new UI is really not helpful. Please reconsider to go back to the previous version. This version is cluttered and extremely confusing to navigate through. I am pulling my hair right now

Agree with the majority here. Please keep your primary users in mind who are design professionals / power users and need to make their living using this software day in and day out. This means: Make it efficient. Have some clutter by having many options openly shown instead of hidden away in context menus. Have some contrast, colors and small UI elements even if it is not aesthetically pleasing. Have keyboard shortcuts, maybe even complex ones.

If you want to feature a more basic experience to not overwhelm novices or to allow other user groups navigating the software, consider using different workspaces or view modes like Adobe is doing it.

Right panel: The grey background feels too noisy, making it harder to quickly spot the values for adjustment. The old version was much clearer and easy to focus.

So basically everything was nice and compact, now they’ve just broken it into little parts. It might be more user friendly but most of us are using Figma for years and tbh prefer the ‘less friendly’ but compact and clean ui. I especially dont like the floating island.

A friend of mine told me to not update Figma, and I haven’t for a couple months, but today it auto updated…

The contrast for toggle button is 1.25:1. Shockingly low and not meeting WCAG’s Success Criterion 😦

I wouldn’t say so. “IT’S A GREAT REDESIGN!” It’s disaster.

Having the actions i use almost constantly in a kebab menu to the right feels very awkward to get used too.

Especially as some of them don’t have keyboard shortcuts.

I am constantly using union modes to create icons, or creating components, and i used to use the contextual toolbar at the top of UI2 all the time.

I like the toolbar at the bottom but wish it had some of these contextual elements.

You are not just feeling it. It has more clicks and mouse movements = is slower.

I have reported this in the earlier round of UI3 feedback, but it seemingly didn’t make it to acknowledgement phase so far. Will hold on to UI2 as long as it’s still available.

P.S. the icons are shrinking as well. Harder to target.

UI3 is terrible. They moved the tool bar which is a common UI pattern across platforms to the bottom middle of the screen. It feels very intrusive and not intuitive. If you select the question mark in the bottom right “?” you can go back to a the previous UI.

Hello Figma, please return list spacing where it used to be
