In the right panel of Figma Design, when opening the Variables dropdown menu or applying variables for any numeric input (Corner radius, Gap, Padding...). Next to each token, there is a new thumbnail representing a number value “1234”. It’s disturbing the reading of my variables. How can I go switch to the previous dropdown design ?
Thank you
Hi
I understand you preferred the previous design of the number variables icon, and that the new '1234' is a bit distracting. This is actually the current icon for number variables, and unfortunately, there's no way to switch back to the old icon at the moment.
I want you to know that our team is aware of similar feedback regarding this. I've gone ahead and made sure your specific thoughts on this are passed along to them.
While I can't make any promises, please know that we genuinely appreciate all feedback as it helps us continuously improve Figma.
Thanks!
Hi, I just wanted to leave feedback on the new number variables icon.
I think the previous version performed better simply because it did not compete with the content. This new icon is made of numbers and that increases the cognitive load: every time I search and try to apply a numeric variable, my view always goes first to the left to the icon, instead of going to the value I am looking for.
I know it is a big effort to create icons and get them into production, but in this case I think it is important to let you know that at least for me, this new icon is not helping me to be more efficient.
