I don’t like the new toolbar placement. It gets in the way when you’re designing a website^ for example. Make it at least movable.

So I now see that this change has been complained about repeatedly since July. For some odd reason, I didn’t experience this change until much more recently. But now I am feeling the same pain as everyone else!! 🤦‍♂️ I mean… like many others have expressed, I’m really not sure why this change even occurred in the first place. And since “someone” decided that this change was a good idea (I have no idea what they based that decision on) and had no problem making the change… why can’t you all just change it back?? At least until you can figure out a way to make this toolbar “floating” and allow users to place it wherever they want to… but just to ASSUME that users would actually prefer this change? Which… CLEARLY they do not.

How about you just REVERT IT and work on a “floating” customizable placement of it in the future? No one asked for this. Just… PLEASE put it back the way it was while you continue to work on a more customizable solution?? PLEASE??? 🙏 🙏 🙏

You are 100% correct. The irony of making bad UI decisions from a company who offers a product for… wait for it… UI designers. 🤦‍♂️

Yep, this is whack. I was searching for how to move the toolbar and was happy to see this post, but disappointed that it has been complained about for months and still no solution!

Please stop with the generic canned “Thanks for the feedback we’ll pass it along!” and allow us to revert the toolbar back to the top of the page where it should be. I remember requesting being able to rotate an object in Figma years ago and getting blown off for a long time. Hopefully this won’t be the same. You already have the code, simply put it back the way it was PLEASE

This new toolbar positioning is very disruptive to my workflow. I need to be able to have it at the top because that’s how I work. Please stop force-bolting everything to the bottom and turning our flow literally upside down

Hi!
Currently there are a left column and a right column with Panels (or option groups). I expected to be able to show/hide/group the panels I need (the same as in Photoshop). Currently the left and the right columns take too much space of my screen. Another thing is that there are options rarely used (for example Export section) but being on the screen all the time.

Another thing that disturbs me is the Bottom static bar in your new UI. I wanted to move it but with no luck.

Thank you for listening to your users!

I really like the new UI3 but I agree with the comments in the thread. I keep looking for the toolbar at the top of the screen; it is such an ingrained common pattern. It would be great to be able to have control of where the toolbar lives.

I opened Figma to use it after a long time and updated it, and I was a little confused because the toolbar was floating at the bottom. From a user’s perspective,
If you work in an environment like an iPad or laptop, it doesn’t seem to be a big problem considering the mouse movement and distance,
But in the case of a desktop, it’s fixed at the bottom, and I can’t even change it. It’s disappointing that the tool that creates and designs UI/UX has been updated to an interface that ignores UX. I wish it could be changed to a top-bar style toolbar like in the past.
