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.

FR, like who the hell put annoying nav on mid bottom that distract/blocking my view and we cannot even have ability to move/hide it, frustating.
old one has super better, no center distraction/annoying/floating thing.
L to new UI designer, bad example to UX for an UI/UX app

Hello Figma.
Make a fully customizable element interface so that blocks can be undocked and attached. In the design settings, so that you can change the order of the blocks. For example, I want to put the color settings at the top and the font settings second.

So basically they should adobefy it.

Completely agree with everything mentions in the original post. I honestly cannot believe who thought this was a great idea. The UX is horrible, and the new menu bars is nothing but a distraction.

I really hope all of this will be reverted, or Sketch might just be the tool of my choice again.

Totally agree on this. Usability has become worse.

Sidebars not sticking to screen edge are super distracting
Bottom panel block the view and is also distracting
Old top bar had comfy functions appearing depending on active object - that’s moved to side panel, and if you have it scrolled down - you don’t see those (surprise!)
Many things I could just check with a corner of an eye are now hidden behind clickable panels and dropdowns, or moved to most unexpected places

Please don’t do this to us 😦

I absolutely hate the new UI. Why change something that isn’t broken? I dread of having to use it! I use Figma like I play the piano (on auto-pilot) and I feel like all the keys have shifted! I don’t know where anything is and I don’t want to re-learn Figma. I had to switch back to the old UI to prevent an anxiety attack! What may look like a more simple UI is actually a maze of hidden features, just because this UI / layout works for FigJam doesn’t make it suitable for Figma. Every major update from Figma lately has been a disappointment. The Dev mode requiring an Editor seat and now this!

You can revert back to old UI by clicking on the floating question mark in the bottom right corner! I am so thankful for having an option to revert back! The new UI is a disaster!

I have no idea what kind of Ux designers you have or what user research you have done.
But I’m about the 30th person in the company I work with hate it

True! Agree with all the points above. Having side panels not-attached is really distracting me a lot

Figma tries to design motorcycles (slides) and cars (web design) using the same manufacturing molds (UI design tool).

It’s going to be a disaster. Different tools require different designs and now the latest UI designs are not good for either.

I agree with everything said here. The biggest issue is losing the top bar and trying to “squeeze” everything into an already packed area. (right sidebar under an object properties)

Trying to push ACTIONS into property is not good design.

Example:

I selected those 2 rectangles, on the top bar, there are NEW ACTIONS.

I can now merge them and do a lot of other stuff.

In the new design tho, those “ACTIONS” go to properties of the object (that is now actually 2 objects, so its not logical at all).

Can you find the same options on this image.

For me, no. There is a lot of going on the right side of the “properties” screen. Those are not properties of the object, those are actions. So please do not smush everything into one…
