LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

Invite a user to join my location in the figma file

The Ui in figma is easy, the project files and folders is simple, navigating is simple.Yet an account person I’ve worked with can’t seem to ever find the current page. Sending a new link doesn’t kick her into the current page, she’s still in the page she dug out of the archives. I’d be fine with this and understand and be patient with her EXCEPT she is complaining about all the links, asking me for links each time she wants to get in and is pointing the finger at figma like it’s figmas problem. We are only circulating two files guys…I try to get her to highlight my person, it’s like..leading horse to water...Give me the capability to grab my coworkers cursor and place them in the correct page PUH LEEZE. I’m loosing my mind. I will settle for a pop up invitation that takes over her screen and gives her the option to “Follow The Person Who Knows What they’re Doing”

inline nested canvases

it would be so incredibly helpful if i could open up nested canvases right inline as i’m working on a design.so for example, i’m working on a screen with a component stored somewhere else (like way off to the side on that same canvas or in a diff page in the same file or even in a separate design system file) and then be able to press a button to open the main component in a nested (or “popup”) canvas so i can edit it, then close the nested window and continue working on the main design. this would help me to not break context and stay in my flow.would also be very cool if i could create instances of those nested canvases manually too. if i could define a happy path series of screens and then underneath them create a button/link/something that opens an “error states” nested canvas, then i could keep the main design clean & clear and still allow people to jump into details without leaving the current context. this would also really help me as i’m designing to have a separate space t

Change default canvas stacking in auto layout

I am using auto layout a lot in my projects and think it is awesome. However, there is one small issue that annoys me a lot. The default setting for canvas stacking is always “Last on top”, which is usually not what I want. For instance when switching state of a dropdown in a layout, the dropdown list will appear below the content that is underneath it (at least in my case where the list is using absolute position). With lots of nested auto layouts, things quickly become a mess if you forgot to change this when you created the auto layout. I would suggest either of these solutions: Change default to “First on top”. Make the default setting optional Remember the last used setting (like the animation properties work)

Reorder variable collections list

Can anyone figure out how to reorder the list of variable collection in the fill dropdown? The layer ‘mode’ assignment appears to sort correctly alphabetically, but the pick list under the fill menu does not, which is a huge painpoint, and will definitely lead to my designers picking the first color they see instead of the semantic one. Correctly sorted - numerical Incorrectly sorted - 2. is at the top instead of 1.

Variables connection in prototyping

1. Variable/Library Connection in Prototyping Overlay BackgroundsWhile Figma Libraries and Variables are brilliant tools, I noticed a gap:Buried Access: Picking colors from the library for overlay backgrounds is buried under multiple clicks and is not intuitive.Static Colors: Even after picking a library color, it behaves statically (just a hex/opacity). This means if the library color changes, the prototype overlay doesn’t reflect that update.Suggestion:Provide an upfront, dynamic option to pick colors from the library directly in the prototype panel. If the library is updated, the overlay should also automatically update.
2. No Memory of Overlay Background ColorsFor multiple overlays in a prototype, I have to set the background color manually for each one. While Figma remembers certain settings like Smart Animate (e.g., it retains the last-used easing and duration, reducing repetitive effort), it does not do this for colors. The overlay background color always defaults to #000000 25%

Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

Add Variable support for Letter Case

It would be really helpful to be able to use a variable to set a Type Style’s Letter Case (under the Type Settings meatball menu). It could be a String Variable, and the options would be “As entered”, “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case”, and “Small caps”. I personally use modes to switch between different brands, and some brand styles require uppercase while others don’t allow it. This suggestion may be a small feature in the grand scheme, but I wonder if others would also find it useful.

Link textboxes in Figma

So If text overflows from one, it can show up in another textbox. This would be useful for two-column/grid composition and responsive layouts.

Figma prototype UI obscuring fixed website header

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Screenshot and sample file below. I’m using an iMac sized frame with extended height. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that this is the now the default view when using multiple flow starting points and is the only way to actually change the flow starting point. So you have a constant trade-off of whether you want to see the Figma controls or your prototype’s. Annoying as hell. EDIT: When sidebar is hidden, the fixed header is visible but inaccessible. As soon as the cursor hovers near it, the Figma UI appears over the (clickable) website header. Wow… Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) https://www.figma.com/file/WlYbWyHwtBGEFZihdMt2az/Bug-Obscured-fixed-header?node-id=0%3A1

Use percentages for heights, widths, paddings, gutters in auto layout

This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is. This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

Customizable shortcuts

The main source of inspiration for this idea was to match the keyboard shortcuts themselves to different keyboard layouts. Right now, users who don’t use US keyboards have to memorize the location of the keys, rather than to use the actual character location to be able to use the shortcuts. Those involving this region are primarily the case: ABNT2 layout (Brazil). And here’s an example of confusing shortcuts: Although this problem could be solved by just rebinding the shortcuts to the actual character and not the location on the keyboard, I’ve noticed there are some other issues concerning key bindings. On this forum post, a member of the community asked for help on backing one layer level with a different shortcut from what Figma has right now. This makes the user adapt their workflow to the tool, and not the other way around — and that hinders efficiency. It would be nice if the tool itself provided some sort of customization on this regard. Although being a workaround, Mac users c

Prototyping with transparent videos

Whatever I try, I can’t seem to work with .mov or .webm videos with transparent background on Figma. Whenever I upload them, I get a black background. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a workaround for this?

When aliasing a color variable to another (img 1), or using it directly on an element (img 2), we should be able to override the opacity without the need to create a variable for each transparency variation: Cant override opacity in the alias: Example 2 Cant override the fill opacity:

Create one prototype across the pages in a file

I would love to be able to create one prototype across the pages in a file that resembles an actual website. This would be ideal for bigger projects and would be easier to maintain as well. We can connect the component libraries across all the pages anyways. A way to connect the prototype would be great in my opinion and that will give Figma a big leg up on other platforms. What do you guys think?

Official Linux Support

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.
