What’s the point of dev mode when you charge for it ??? and dev mode only comes with a designer access which is full editing mode??? WTF of the thinking is that? Dev mode should be fore devs! Let all the dev team in my firm to be able to access that!

When using comment view on Figma slides, I cannot do mostly any other action in the slides like copying, pasting and even skiping/unskipping slides. All of this while not getting feedback from this. I even had some difficulty understanding that was happening because of comment mode. I tought the whole app had frozen. I’m using the native app on a mac if this helps.

Simple, just me with most of our users using 1366px desktop screen (and laptops)

Hello! When a Designer requests edit access to a project/branch, the only actions available via the email notification are to Approve or Deny. It would be extremely helpful if the email included a link to the project/branch in question, so the file can be inspected beforehand. In my company, sometimes Branches can have duplicate names and it is impossible to know which branch edit access is being requested for.

In CSS, adjacent margins can sometimes overlap. This is known as “margin collapse”. Margin collapse occurs when vertically adjacent margins of block-level elements collide to share a general margin space. The larger number margin dictates the size of this shared space. If a margin of 24px collides with a margin of 56px, the 56px margin will win. If a margin of -24px collides with a margin of -56px, -56px will win. This will help prevent unnecessary variants for the functionality of adding/removing space within components. Toggling margin collapse as conditional in auto layout will save time and get design closer to development. Here is more on margin collapse.

It would be cool to add a lock screen with a password to protect from prying eyes on work devices that are not accessible when you go home.

Nowadays, you can apply string variables to component variants. This gave me the idea to also link string variables to text decorations. In this way, you can use one button text style for both the normal state (with no text decoration) and the hover state (with underline). By using modes for the different states. Perhaps this could also be used for other types of settings, such as cases or vertical trim.

Be able to create pages on FigJam files.

When creating an alias variable (variable that points to an existing variable) it would be very useful to preview the existing variable’s values when making the selection. This would make it easier to select the correct variable without having to either recall each value or having to go back and forth between the alias and the referenced variable to validate.

Hi guys, mine is not a request for help but a suggestion. I wanted to tell you that I find it really inefficient that in a large company like the one I work in, there are colleagues who have the new Beta version and others who continue to have the old one, waiting (as you yourselves have communicated) to be updated as soon as possible. This, especially in meetings, is really annoying. My question is why haven’t you updated the beta version per company? This would help us a lot during our daily work by all working on the same interface. I hope you will take my suggestion into account. Regards

It would be great if the shape tool did not add a fill by default. This allows for quick wireframing and makes it really fast to use InVision Freehand for whiteboard jam sessions. With Fig Jam, I need to choose to hide the fill every time, and so do all the collaborators.

It needs to be easier to zero in on the specific things that were change in a branch review. For example, I have a branch where I add a simple line of copy to one frame. But when I review that before merging, it shows me an entire section without multiple layout frames in it. One of them has the new text line, but how am I supposed to know that? See the screenshot below - I made the additional text bigger so you might be able to spot the difference. But what if it was the same size as the rest of the body text? It would be better if it highlighted the specific difference and allowed you to zoom in/out at the parent/child layer level.

I’m crying to see the “color theory” in Figma – as in Color Wheel - Color Palette Generator | Figma All the classic color theory, the accents, opposite or adjacent color, it’s built on the classic artistic color wheel, which is RYB, not RGB. This means the opposite color pairs are red-green, orange-blue and yellow-purple/violet — not red-cyan, yellow-blue and green-purple as on the RGB wheel. If you apply the RYB algorithms to the RGB, the results are wrong, unpleasant, disturbing. See the “correct” color combinations on the RYB wheel, check the opposite and adjacent colors work together much better in my tool Paletino BETA (v1.09b) – it’s not finished yet, some things (like exports) do not work, but the core does work fine. I’ve been insterested in this topic for 25 years and

We do a lot of synthesis in FigJam for customer support tickets and feature requests. It’s really tedious to bring all the data into FigJam though because I can’t import a CSV or bulk copy / paste issues titles. Would save me so much time!

Need search with name or describe，and Easier unloading

Omg, I just came to realise that presenting a realistic scrilling website prototype for a client or developer is so much extra work. Right now you need to reset the height of the frame then set clipping (because this is just not how you are working while designing). Please Figma Team add viewport height and scroll option like in XD to make this a lot easier for huge UI prototypes with a lot of content and going back and forth right now… I can’t understand how isn’t this a highly voted request. No other ex-XD users in Figma Community? 😃

Hello, I’m frequently using the Plus Lighter and Plus Darker blending modes, and I’ve encountered an issue with adaptive fills. I have a Translucent Fill variable defined as (#FFFFFF - 50% [Light Mode]) and (#000000 - 50% [Dark Mode]). Currently, there’s no way to switch between Plus Lighter and Plus Darker blending modes based on Light or Dark Mode. Is there any plan to support Blending Mode Variables that adapt to different themes? Thank you!

As you announced the Design Panel on UI3 can adjust its width. I did hope that it will resolve my problem: more space to display loooooong variable names, but no. Though it is good to be rearranged but I also want it to be adjustable.

One of my clients is going through a rebranding process. I need to reroute many color variables at once, replacing a group of color variables with another one. There is no easy way to do it, and none of the plug-ins that allow swapping variables will swap variable groups, only collections. I have to go into the Variables panel and change one by one, manually. If Figma had an intelligent find and replace system for variables, where I could, for example, replace all color/component/primary tokens with color/component/secondary tokens in batch, that would make my life a lot easier. It would be especially great if it worked similar to text find and replace, where I could define if the variable name contains or does not contain, matches or does not match a string or a collection name or a group name, and similar kind of rules that allow for advanced manipulation, that would be amazing.

Most of the time when I’m interacting with a layer that is not inside an auto-layout, Constraints is what I care about the most since it gives me more control over the relative position of it when resizing. Please bring it back out. It’s frustrating having to click a small little icon everytime just to open up the Constraints panel

I want to suggest that Figma should allow users an avenue to remove their data from AI training retroactively if the toggle was switched on in error. We know users make mistakes and not allowing data deletion requests gives very little room for error.

Hi there, I’ve been running into this issue for a long time now, which is why I’m making a separate topic for it. We have multiple themes that have multiple groups of colors which make the variable names of colors quite long. The consequence of this is that you cannot see the full variable name in the “Selection colors” panel in the bottom right corner. The panel cannot be enlarged and there is also no tooltip to show you the colour name when hovering over the color. In other places there actually IS a tooltip when you hover over colors, so it’s kinda strange that there is no such feature in this specific section (where we need it the most in our project). So can you please add this feature to help us solve this issue? Next to helping us, it would also make the interface a tad more consistent on the topic of tooltip usage… Thank you in advance!

I feel like Im moving at a snails pace. I type out primary I tab to the next column and hit enter… nothing happens. I tap spacebar or something to bring up the color picker. Nothing… I move to my mouse and click on the color swatch… No I don’t want to define a custom color, I need to click on Libraries!

Good morning, I hope you are feeling very well. Regarding the sharing option, because Figma automatically takes it as an extra entry and charges it to the bill, in the professional plan it appears that you can share files. I think the best thing would be if they automatically placed the viewr restriction option and if you want to change it to the edit or view option, notify that same day that there will be an extra charge. I look forward to your response and have a great day.
