Hey Figma team,The progressive blur update was 🔥. I’m guessing the implementation uses a linear grayscale gradient (limited to two color points) as a blur map to control the effect. If that’s the case, adding radial progressive blur shouldn’t be too hard.Also, if you’re considering custom blur maps, it would be awesome to let users control crop/fill/fit/tile of the blur map, just like the regular image editing options. Plus, a toggle to switch between blur map input vs. blur map output would make experimenting way more intuitive.This could give designers way more flexibility and open up a ton of creative possibilities.Thanks for considering!

When using Freeform, is there any good way to set distance constraints so that I can achieve something similar to padding in Auto Layout?

Hello, I really would love a setting that would make the new layers, freshly duplicated layers, etc, appear downwards - on the bottom of the list if nothing is selected or underneath the currently selected layer. In other words, to change the general direction of layer stacking - to go from top to bottom, instead of bottom to top only, as of now. This is very logical, isn’t it? We create pages in figma and they go from top to bottom, most designs are created from top to bottom, most content flows from top to bottom. Then why do layers go freaking upwards? 😀

Ok maybe we got that wrong, but it seems that the new Dev Mode “Annotate” and “Measure” Features are only available to designers but not the developers themselves? We’d think it would be very useful for them as well. When the developers want to add some info during handoff, or if we forgot something and they want to add that info later as a reminder etc.

Please bring the lighter, less intrusive FigJam background grid style into standard Figma files. It needs an easy way to be toggled on/off Add a new "Dot" style within the Layout Grid settings, allowing for a dot pattern.

I saw a post on linkedin that suggesting a great feature.Font selection shows a hundreds of fonts on the list, but we all have our favorite fonts. why not to save most used fonts as starred or bookmarkhttps://www.linkedin.com/posts/tim-agayev_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA-%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%82%D1%8C-%D1%88%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%84%D1%82%D1%8B-%D0%B2-%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D0%BF%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%BC%D0%BE-%D0%B2-activity-7395207256302047232-3-WpHere is screenshot posted by 

Could you implement a feature that allows the AI chat to memorize the conversation and then archive it to clear all the history messages? It tends to get really laggy at some point when the conversations has been going on for a few days. This is typical in Chat GPT as well. But this needs to be sorted. When I work with figma make at the moment i haev to write all my updated request in a notepad document and then paste into the chat becuase its lagging so much. And if claude sonnet doesnt allow this workflow, come up with something else. Thanks in advance!

I don’t want to see some properties or values of any properties, if they are not used in the component. This is making it difficult to use the components. Example: I have a button component with Property 1 (Type: Primary, Secondary) Property 2 (State: Default, Processing) I only want “State: Processing” to be available for “Type: Primary” button. I have created a Variant of “Type: Primary” button with “State: Processing”. Currently the problem is when I use “Type: Secondary” button, I can see “State: Processing” in the properties. When I select it, the button “Type” changes to “Primary”. It would be great if the “Processing” state doesn’t show up in the properties list, since I don’t have that “State: Processing” created in the component Variants.

HI! it would be an incredible time saver if you could PLEASE consider adding a key stroke for filling container and hugging contents for objects selected within auto layout! Please come thru 🙏🏼

We want to use string variables for translation handoffs. It is common in our projects that we use long text elements, that have mixed styles (adding links, adding bold to key phrases). When we add variables to text, the font style is “flattened” when switching modes. We can create text with HTML tags like “Hello <‘b1’>World<‘/b1’>” (b1=semibold equivalent of the font style used) so our devs know where to style the text, but it makes it difficult for us to evaluate visual aspects of our texts (like “Is the text not too busy? there’s to many bolded words”). It would be great to have a tool that can do both: add font styles to strings, and render them at the same time.

Not really a ‘problem’, but rather a major translation error.The menu item ‘view’ is translated into German as ‘Ansehen’, which means ‘reputation’. The correct translation should be ‘Ansicht’. Even Deepl translates the word “view” incorrectly. ;) Take a look at the meaning of ‘Ansehen’ on duden.de (https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Ansehen).Cheers, Ingo

Hi, I wanted to suggest preset colour options for Sections in Figma, similar to FigJam. The default grey colour blends into the default canvas background meaning I always need to choose a custom stroke + fill after using it. It’s an easy task but it breaks my flow to have to stop and change the colour of a section in the middle of whatever I’m doing.

Vorremmo descrivere il nostro ambiente di lavoro attuale e quello che vorremmo raggiungere, in modo da capire come la vostra piattaforma può adeguarsi in questo.Noi ci occupiamo di corsi di formazione di vario tipo, per ognuno di questi corsi abbiamo una brochure per un totale di quasi 200 brochure.Queste brochure sono tutte diverse tra loro per adeguarsi ai contenuti dei singoli prodotti, ovviamente tra di loro hanno delle parti in comune, ma differiscono per:Numero di pagine Numero di blocchi testo nelle pagine Numero di caratteri Immagini (cambiano sia da brochure a brochure che nel numero all’interno delle varie brochure) Colori sia delle grafiche che di alcuni testiQueste brochure vengono realizzate e hanno vita fino all’inizio del corso, il che significa che fino all’inizio del corso vengono modificate per adeguarsi ogni possibile cambiamento, sia del singolo prodotto (ad esempio il titolo di un argomen

Lately I’ve noticed that when I have several nested components, I would only like to be able to modify some and not all. This would allow the component that draws on other components to have efficient adaptability in its contextual use.

When i move my design elements/frames/etc., I expect all the pinned comments to move with them – but they don’t. instead i’m left with a bunch of floating comments (that are not attached to anything), which requires me to manually re-read each comment and move it again to its correct place. this is frustrating and time consuming. but what’s worse is when another user forgets to move the comments after they move the design elements, so when i return to the Figma file it’s very difficult to decipher the floating comments because they are not pinned to anything so i have no idea what they’re referring to. please keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments).

Hi Figma/Community,I am a UX veteran from India.I recently explored some of the products like Design and Draw.This is about Figma Draw > Repeat that generates Radial and Linear array of selected shape.Would like to share a thought - how about adding Scale and Rotation profiles as two settings to Repeat? This profiles would respectively decide relative scaling and rotation of array items.Thanks. 

Anyone knows if Figma mentioned something about adding analytics to their slides in presentation mode? Same as pitch.com where you can measure the data from people that open the deck? If not, it might be a nice idea on the roadmap for Figma Slides? What are your thoughts on this?

Please consider adding the ability to assign custom tab colors to individual files or projects. This small visual aid would make it significantly easier to distinguish between open tabs at a glance, especially when juggling multiple design files simultaneously.This feature would offer several key benefits. It would improve workflow organization by allowing users to visually group and separate project files. Navigating between files would become faster and more intuitive, reducing the mental load when switching contexts. Additionally, color coded tabs would help minimize the risk of accidentally editing the wrong file, a common issue when working across multiple projects. Overall, it would enhance focus and efficiency, especially for users who regularly multitask within Figma.Color coded tabs are a familiar and effective UI pattern in many tools, and I believe this addition would be a valuable quality-of-life improvement for many users.

I’m a member of the security team. We’re using the Pro plan, and recently, a user was invited into our organization through the following sequence of events: User A (inside the organization) created a file and set access permissions to “Anyone with the link.” User B (outside the organization) accessed the file. User B (outside the organization) then shared the file or granted permissions to User C (also outside the organization). User C ended up becoming a member of our organization. We contacted Figma, and they confirmed that this behavior is “by design,” and told us that the only way to prevent it is to upgrade to the Enterprise plan.It seems unreasonable that an external user can effectively accept an invitation into our organization, and we believe this is a serious issue. We wanted to share this so everyone is aware when using Figma.Additionally, since the file in step 1 was in Dr

User persona context:I am not a huge keyboard shortcuts user, I use some, adopt slowly, and like to customise when I need to to make it easier to use the shortcuts I care about and avoid accidentally triggering the ones I don’t.Issue summary:What I am finding annoying about shortcuts in Figma is that is that ones I am not interested in a given moment are they are too easily triggered (because they don’t require an additional key like shift etc.) and I can’t customise them. Issue example: One way in which this is causes issues for me is if I am selecting an option from a dropdown e.g.:When I am selecting a variant property value. If I have a lot of options I usually start to type the letter of the option to jump to it. This works great if the key I am using doesn’t overlap with a Figma determined keyboard shortcut, but if it does, the shortcut is triggered for some action e.g. frame, slice etc.

If you open a lot of projects the tab strip gets crowded. Chromium browsers solved this by allowing to group tabs, maybe Figma could do the same ?

What I need: Showing the distance between rulers. How I expected it to work: Select a ruler, hover another and hold option (mac). Context: In some really nested templates and components its impossible to actually select edges of correct elements for measurements, therefore I would need the option to show the distance between two rulers. Complexity: Seems to be an easy fix, since the individual coordinates of both rulers even show on the top edge of the ruler section of the UI, you’d just need to add the distance (where exactly I wouldn’t care that much)

currently working at an agency and they won’t switch to Figma due to the issue of Internal vs. external comments and how this is solved in Invision with Private Comments. I feel like if we just had private or even levels of permission (admin) comments vs. guest comments Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Only a small one but would save time Add some universally used presets when making component variables so we don’t have to write them every time. Something like Size= Desktop, Small desktop, Tablet, Mobile State = Inactive, Active, Hover, Disabled, Focus
