There are billions people using Android, but we still don’t have any Android frame size or any Android device that is compatible with Material Design 3. Dear Figma please add this feature, that will be really helpful and make Android devs happy. 🙏 🙏 🙏 Another solution could be let user create custom frame sizes and devices and save them on the right sidebar along with the other frames and prototype devices.

I am looking for an additional Prototype Interaction possibility that allows me to Open an Overlay (so far so good) that is not positioned beforehand but will float close to my cursor like a tooltip does. This way you can easily create tooltips in Prototypes that will open an other frame that remains close to your cursor as long as you are hovering the specified element.

When there’re more than 100 items / comments in the Comments List on the right side of the screen, and each Comment has maybe more than 8 replies, it took me long time to go back and find some specific comments. I want to have a search bar on the top of the comments sidebar and find the information more efficient. Thanks!

I usually work on projects with many stakeholders and receive tons of feedback over weeks. Recently, I came across the summarization feature for sticky notes in FigJam, and I thought this feature would be fantastic in Figma! Each week, we receive around 30-40 comments on our files. If we could summarize them by 1) The person who commented (essentially, their overall feedback), 2) Highlighting the frame that received the most comments, and 3) An overview of the general feedback direction. Manually handling this and responding to each comment individually is quite burdensome. I think this will be amazing for Design Crits and Reviews.

The cursors in Figma’s Presentation View are too faint to be able to consistently observe the scrolls/drags and clicks/taps of others. They’re really only visible when the cursor is over darker backgrounds. You can’t see the cursor at all on light backgrounds on mobile devices. (see lower right quadrant in image below) When watching screen recordings made of the Figma app, the problem is much worse – video compression seems to take out the last remaining traces of the light grey they use for cursors. The screenshots above are from a compressed screen recording. We already love using Figma for user research / usability testing, but improving this would seal the deal in our hearts forever. PROPOSAL: Make the cursor more visible and/or allow Figma users to change color / size / etc. via settings and/or CSS

Hello guys! The hot key cmd+F for Search works on File but doesn’t work on Home page. Please, make hotkeys more consistence. Thank you.

It would be helpful if there was a way to view comments and edit the design at the same time. Since resolving a comment would mostly require editing a design, it is cumbersome to switch between different modes constantly.

Steps: Copy a component or something you want to paste and replace other frames with Select the element you want to replace, then multi-edit to select all the other frames that are the same. Hit Ctrl + Shift + R to replace Figma seems to move your canvas view to the last frame the paste and replace was applied to. My gripe: This is annoying as you have to refix your view each time you do this. It should just stay on the original frame you did the commands on and not move. Perhaps you can zoom out to show that multiple were selected, but once the action is done move it back to where I was working.

I’ve been trying to make a budget for years in google sheets/excel and the format is NOT my favorite. As a designer, I think visually, and my first thought to figure out anything complex is to draw it out on paper or in FigJam. It would be super cool to have basic functions in FigJam in order to have a more visual budget!

Posted this a few years ago, figured I’d bring it up again since the original post is closed. I wish I could add padding values to any element in Figma. It is possible to add padding to any elements on the web. Currently, I need to wrap an element in an autolayout in order to give it padding, resulting in lots of unnecessary nested autolayouts.

Components with more than 1000 variants may experience performance issues. Try breaking out your variants into separate components This is my “text” component, which has 2,560 variants. It takes 10 seconds to rename a property, on a M2 MacBook Air. Is Figma’s performance for this already optimized or an improvement is something I can expect in future?

Add opportunity to make variables as properties, the way as variables can be in many groups (collections) at the same time, without creating main libraries of master variables and after it appropriation value from master collection to instance collections. just made it simple way as you did it for variant sets properties

Just like a developer would use strong, em, sup, sub tags in code, we should be able to create character styles that allow designers to format common inline styles without breaking the entire paragraph style.

Hi! I am working with complex components that have more than 3 level nested components. What would be very helpful when pulling these components in my designs is to group the properties of nested components together on properties panel, preferably with visual hierarchy with an accordion to help with readability. E.g. if I have a main menu with tabs (variants + icon(which is a component in a wrapper itself)) and primary button (with variants, different icons etc). I would like the icon wrapped, which is essentially a separated component, but used within the button, to be grouped with the button. But the icon wrapper, which I use in the tabs, to be wrapped under tabs nested instance.

Figma allows to name a Frame. Yet, it would be great to also have a subheading or small description field between the name and the actual frame to specify the content in more detail for e.g. the engineering team. This would help to make the communication of the content more clear without adding text fields above the frame, which also sometimes get lost when you move and copy paste frames to other places.

Currently moving a component to a library is unnesessarily complex. It could be simply: Selecte components to move. Left click. Click “Move to library…” on the menu. A dialog opens and provides a way to select a file and a page in the file.

Using the rest image endpoint, I can get the image of a layer, but in trying to recomposite the layer, do I don’t want the image to include the children within it. Previously I was using the plugin api, and would hide children, export image, then show children. I’d really love if this end point would support this functionally. Thanks!

make working with variables by mindmap, working with table uncomfortable

Hi, is it possible to minimize the toolbar to get a larger screen real estate? I’m using FigJam on MBP 15" and the toolbar takes quite some space. Maybe we can 1-click minimize or hide it from view? Is it also possible to move the toolbar to the left or right side panel?

i need see preview of assets in properties menu

Would be great to enable updating of a variable in a TeamLibrary from a plugin that is running from another design file that has that TeamLibrary already added please. Currently, I can read a variable from a TeamLibrary using: var variable = await Figma.variables.importVariableByKeyAsync(keyVariable); However, I cannot not update that same variable using setValueForMode: variable?.setValueForMode(modeId,value); I get an error: “unhandled promise rejection: Error: in setValueForMode: Cannot write to internal and read-only node. Are you trying to modify a remote style or component?” Can you please enable updating of TeamLibrary variables remotely? Thanks! Martyn Why: When designing at scale with multiple brands, TeamLibraries enable mastering of variables that are used across multiple brands. It would be useful to be able to update TeamLibrary variables remotely, when working with a plugin in a design file from any of those multiple brands, that have that TeamLibrary file added.

To select deeply nested layers, it is necessary to expand the panel far to the right. Please add the ability to horizontally scroll. It looks like users have been asking for this very basic functionality for four years.

It looks like there’s a border or shadow on the left that works fine in a normal window but is mildly infuriating in fullscreen.

Got really hyped with multi-edit and was watching the tutorial on creating components from Miggi. I expected this ability to also be able to create a component within an existing component, but I’m unable to do that. Example: Tabs are made up of individual tab items and a tab group (which may come with extra stuff). I already have the master tab component made, but oh wait, I want to go back and turn the auto layout of individual tab items (aka the tab group) into a component itself to easier manage that sub-component. Unfortunately, multi-edit doesn’t seem to be able to do something like that within an existing master component. This means I would have to create a copy of the tab group outside of the existing master component and then select each layer (at least this can be easily done with multi-edit now) in the variants of the master component I want to paste and replace. This isn’t a perfect solution, because it can override some of my things like constraints or other stuff I didn’

Hi Team, Greetings! I just had a small idea in existing PRD template in Figma: In What and Why areas, the sections: Purpose and Goals should be interchanged in template. Since it gives more clarity in describing about the product promptly and gives exact meaning the specific sections of template. Figma - PRD Template Hope my idea is valid and you would take corresponding action of change. It would help all the users. Thanks team! Best Regards, Anantha Padmanabhan
