It’s just very bright, and I’d like to get some work done at night without killing my eyes. Please add dark mode. FigJam especially, but it’d be nice throughout. Yeah, just remember the user likes a dark mode, and make dark mode the default for everything: your website, this forum, Figma, …

Stroke is a very basic and commonly used feature. In my workflow, I often need to create multiple strokes on a single object, as shown in the image.Although Figma supports multiple strokes, all strokes share the same property and have only one width value. As a result, even when multiple strokes are added, they overlap completely. This makes adding multiple strokes essentially meaningless.I suggest allowing each stroke layer to have its own independent width property. 

Inside the option “Reset specific changes” the current “Reset Size” eaction only resets dimensions, but does not revert other Auto Layout-related changes such as alignment, positioning. The request is to extend the existing “Reset specific changes” functionality by adding a dedicated option for (Auto) Layout properties. This would allow users to fully reset all Auto Layout modifications in a single step and restore the component to its original layout configuration.  

Today, profile avatars in Figma account settings only display as static images. The Help Center states that GIF uploads are converted to a static image. There is no supported way to use an animated avatar in collaboration surfaces (multiplayer cursors, comments, Community profile, FigJam stamps, etc.).Other design tools in the same market already support animated profile avatars (for example, MasterGo supports APNG for dynamic avatars). Users who want a more expressive personal identity in the product currently have no first-party option in Figma.Proposed solutionAllow animated profile avatars in Account settings (and team/org avatars if applicable). Support at least: APNG (preferred: supports transparency, often better quality than GIF) Animated WebP (optional, good compression) GIF (optional, for backward compatibility — but should actually play, not be flattened to a static frame) Define clear limi

In Figma desktop, it would be super helpful to group to tag different tabs. With many files open it is hard to find and organize the tabs I am working on. I often have around 20 tabs open. Similar to how chrome groups tabs. 

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?: Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

I’d like the possibility to automatically post an update message on Slack every time an update to a library file is published. Ideally the message includes: Name of the library Changelog (user submitted text in the publishing dialog) List of the impacted components This would make it easier for other designers and developers to notice and discuss such updates.

Seems you can only add numbers or strings to text layers. It would be great if you could output a color value as text. It’d be really useful for setting up a style guide template that can be updated to different themes.

I’ve already started using the new slots and I find them amazing, but I think it’s very limiting to prevent the use of grid layout. 

These are new and improved color formats that replace hex and rgb. They will soon become the standard in web browsers. They open up more colors than are currently possible. The Expanding Gamut of Color on the Web | CSS-Tricks - CSS-Tricks

I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them.I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.[The title of this post was edited from “LAUNCHED: Copy/Move variable groups into other collections” to “Copy/Move variable groups into other collections” by a moderator on 17-Jan-2026.]

It doesn’t look like there’s an obvious way to change the order of exposed nested instances. Right now the order seems to be based on reverse layer order. It’d be great if the order can be manually adjusted.

This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables:

Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

Right now, tying layer visibility to a variable means if the boolean is false = layer is hidden. It’d be great if we could invert this functionality (boolean is false = layer is shown) on a per-layer basis as I need to show some layers and hide others depending on the state of the variable. Anyone else run into this?

Stamps are a cool feature, but I’m consistently disappointed by them. Straight up, we need:The entire standard emoji library as stamps Ability to add other people’s pfp icons as stickers (you can only do your own) The ability to add custom stamps I think #1 is the most impactful and would address some of the other, similar suggestions. I don’t even want Figma to make their own version of the emojis, they can just be 1:1 with some standard library (google’s, twemoji, etc.)

I propose that Figma introduce a search capability within the “Figma Make” prompt interface. Currently, users who wish to review previously entered prompts must manually navigate through the entire prompt history, which can be inefficient and time-consuming. Implementing a search function would significantly enhance usability by enabling quick retrieval of past prompts, thereby improving productivity and overall user experience.

Can we please have screen recording for prototypes already before the ai stuff?!😫

This is so annoying! Each month I need to search for the invoice in your unfriendly interface. Seriously now! Better unsubscribe the service than getting such frustration.

Can Figma generate Flutter source code?  Yes — with the help of plugins and AI-powered tools, Figma designs can now be converted into Flutter code much faster. It helps developers speed up UI building, reduce repetitive work, and turn design concepts into functional mobile app layouts more efficiently.

In Finland, we have to attach the invoices to all card payments for bookkeeping. Now I need to every month to go to Favro and manually download the invoice. Please add a feature where I can define an email address for the invoice emails and automatically send new invoices in an email with the PDF invoices attached so that we can automate the download and processing of the invoices. The subject of the email should have the same structure each month ("You Figma invoice YYYY-MM-DD) and the PDF invoice name should be unique and contain the date of the invoice, for example, Figma incoice YYYY-MM-DD

I found a usability issue in Figma while working with line objects.When I draw a horizontal line, I can resize it using the “W” (Width) input field in the right-side layout/properties panel, which makes sense.However, when I draw a vertical line, the resize control is still tied to the same “W” field instead of switching to the “H” (Height) field.This feels unintuitive and inconsistent from a UX perspective because a vertical line’s primary dimension is height, not width.I compared this behavior with Adobe Illustrator, and Illustrator handles this much better:Horizontal lines are controlled through Width Vertical lines are controlled through HeightThat approach feels more natural and improves usability during precise editing.It would be great if Figma could automatically map:Horizontal lines → Width (W) Vertical lines → Height (H)

I would like to suggest adding support for linear gradients in drop shadow effects. Currently, only solid colors are available for shadows, and I was wondering if there is any specific reason why gradient shadows are not supported yet.This feature would be very useful for creating more modern and creative UI designs directly within Figma without relying on external tools or workarounds. 

I’m trying to create the text effect in this image. The odometer’s text wraps around the circle very nicely. Right now I have to use a plugin, but I lose the ability to edit the text afterwards and there is no preview so I have to try a few times to get the text to wrap nicely. Sketch had a feature where if you dragged a text on top of a path it would snap to it and would follow the path. A similar feature (perhaps with a better implementation) would be very welcome on Figma.
