Allow us to dock/move the new UI3 toolbar

Please move the toolbar back to the top, or give us an option to do so. It’s not an iPad or mobile app, why does it need to be at the bottom? Such a BAD UX decision from a UI/UX design app.

No, it’s not perfect. It’s horrible. The UX when designing in mobile vs computer should never, ever, be the same.

I totally agree. My comment was a sardonic one - it’s “perfect” if you don’t give a single crap about desktop users that want to actually design things and not just spew out derivative AI garbage. Seems this is the direction Figma is heading in along with every other Silicon Valley company.

Many users have expressed frustration with the current floating dock in Figma UI 3, as it obscures important areas of the workspace, making it difficult to work efficiently, especially with intricate designs.

Please allow users to dock the toolbar at the top of the workspace as in earlier versions. Alternatively, an option to move the dock to a user-preferred location would greatly enhance usability.

I really hate this update! HATE! I spent an hour trying to find a way to reposition it before discovering this post.

2 Reasons why I strongly recommend giving the option to customize or at least place toolbar back at the top:

1. Muscle memory—I’ve been designing with it there for so long that I automatically look there to find my tools. All of my tabs, global tools are at the top. It’s just intuitive to go there.
2. The floating bar at the bottom makes me feel like I have less real estate even though I probably don’t. I feel like it gets in the way of what I’m working on. I’ve never hated an update more than this one. Sorry, I love using Figma, but this update has caused me so much frustration. Please bring back option to move doc tool bar above (It does not need to float.)

I’m right there with you on this. On the flip side, I’m learning all of the hotkeys so that I don’t ever have to access this toolbar. Having it float at the bottom is THE WORST!

+1 to the comment that “my laptop screen often blocks the bottom inch of my monitor… Exactly where the toolbar is.” I cannot think of a position that is more difficult to find than this one. For most of the functions, I am used to using keyboard shortcuts, so it is less of an issue. However, I often lose track of new comments added to the file, and the red dot on the comment icon is the indicator I rely on.

+1, please make it more flexible!

The toolbar being at the bottom is making me go INSANE.
Super unconventional, i also always listen to music while using Figma, and the volume changer on windows pops up in the exact spot where the toolbar is. And i hate the 5 second wait for it to go away before I can use the toolbar.
The toolbar being at the bottom makes Figma feel very disorganized, it gives me the impression that this was done to feel modern, when it really just messes up efficiency and the UX

I’ll have to add my opinion to this. The floating menu is super annoying and gets in the way of everything. The top bar in the previous UI worked great. It just needed a slight visual refresh but there was no need to remove it. Hope it gets fixed.
