UI3 Feedback

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

I absolutely agree. It’s taking a lot of time to finish a design. How come they change our habit, unless a wider survey? 😡

I totally agree with this point of view. The changes are too radical and disruptive. Overall, the interface is more complex to use.

I am finally starting to come around to UI3 but it drives me crazy that my layersp panel is so tiny and cut off in the bottom left of the app. It’s competing with the pages/assets, so why not give it the same hierarchy or interaction as the File/Assets switcher?

1000% agree. It slows down my work speed, can’t stand it 🤮

I agree with all, and the letter size is extremely small! Why making everything more difficult?

Frame layout Grid makes no sense ⛔
New UI needs real improvements in Hierarchy, UX and UI.

  • Lack of hierarchy, pathless icons, more steps and unorganized journeys are all the way around.
  • I feel management is deciding to avoid designer needs as much as they can, this software’s core user was changed to developers, that is taking the software into quicksand

Don’t fall into Adobe’s ways, you’re in time, please. 🥹

I have been using the redesign since beta version, and the more that I used, the more that I hate it.
I use Figma since 2019, and I can say that this UI2 to UI3 migrations is such a pain, a perfect example of Bigbang fail.

  • Hidden content is dead content
  • To move the bar down, is just feel very wrong, now my Apple bar is competing with my Figma bar.
  • Try to find something like a plugin. You really need to see a tutorial to find it out
  • The Icon is just a change that is not justifiable. If something works good for user, don’t touch it! What ever you do new they will hate it
  • I’m 35 years old, and somehow I feel that everything is just smaller and more crowded. Probably the font size is the same, but it feels less clickable.

Honestly guys I was very excited about this change but now that I have been using it for I while, it feels more and more wrong to work with UI3

Garbage. Particularly the Text section. Who approves this crap?? *Hey Figma… watch your company do a complete nosedive if you keep ignoring your core demographic: designers. We’ll quickly find something much more accommodating.

You can locally force some changes in Figma’s CSS to customize the UI (even if you’re using the desktop version). That allows us to hide the toolbar, for example.

I’ve created a short tutorial (2 minutes) on how to do just that in the desktop version:

Hide Toolbar in Figma UI3 | Windows & macOS|Hide Toolbar in Figma UI3 | Windows & macOS

I’ll also create a tutorial on how to do that on the web based version later today. It’ll work on any browser that supports extensions.
