Allow us to dock/move the new UI3 toolbar

I am 10 seconds into this UI update and I absolutely HATE the toolbar being at the bottom of the screen. This is supposed to be a UX Design tool, and you incorporate the worst UX design into your own app? Why?

Why would you break the standard of every other design tool in existence that puts the toolbar across the top, or down the left side of the screen? Just to be cute?

It’s STUPID.

I admit that having the toolbar at the bottom center is pretty annoying, considering that I barely look at my dock while working but more on the top side of the screen.
Also the action panel would be better being on the top or rather at the center of the screen.

For a platform that user experience designers use to create, the actual user experience is not constantly looking down for the task bar, please let us dock this where we would like it. Similar to how Illustrator has it where you can place it where you like

The toolbar was causing me problems when I needed to take screenshots. I ended up deleting the html element in the inspect tools. Doesn’t help with the actual issue, which really should be fixed but it was a viable work around for my problem.

-Would be nice have the possibility to stick it to the edge. I find the new floating one distracting.
Also, that gap between the new toolbar and the border of the window is a waste of space. The risk to click something in that gap for mistake is higher.
When you move the mice for select a tool, you often uses the border of the screen as reference for target the button with the cursor. Dunno if I well explain what I mean… basically, when you have a wide movement of the cursor to do, usually you naturally hit the border as first, fast, movement, then you adjust the cursor with a precise movement and hit your target.

-Why not have the possibility to have it back on top, as an option?

-These tools are now extremely small and squeezed too much for who is working with shapes daily, previous ones were easier to use. Which is the logic of have elements options in the sidebar, where values are managed?

Why not have them back in the same bar of the toolbar? Somewhat like this?

Thanks for reading!

Please allow the toolbar to be placed wherever I want it to stay in the viewport! The first Issue I encountered when updating was that my Windows toolbar covered the Figma toolbar when I was in full-screen mode. This caused a good bit of frustration because I couldn’t see the toolbar.

Allow us to dock / move / hide / show the toolbar. I literally can’t use Figma right now. It’s thrown my brain backwards looking at this.

I would love to know what the rationale was for the bottom floating toolbar. I guess the rationale for floating it is that it gives you more real estate. But it’s not usable extra estate. It’s just a visual distraction, instead of having a perfectly simple and predictable rectangle for your work area. Imagine if you had a real canvas, and instead of it being a rectangle, there’s two 2cm thick rectangles at the bottom hanging off the bottom of the canvas - is that helpful? No, it’s just ugly and annoying clutter. The empty space to the left and right of the old toolbar in the old design was a non-issue.

As for why it was decided to put it at the bottom instead of top - I’m absolutely baffled by this one.

edit: ah, I think I’ve figured out this baffling new design. They know full well it’s terrible UX for intentional design with tools, but it’s the perfect UX if you just want to press the AI button on mobile. I’m guessing this is phase one, and there’ll be a future phase where the only tool in the tool bar will be “ask AI” (to design me a ___ clone)

In editing tools mostly toolbar positioned to top or right side. in bottom it is so confusing and difficult to access. please position it top or make it flexible

Why are we putting the toolbar on the bottom of the UI? Either stick it to the top middle or just make it movable.
