Allow us to dock/move the new UI3 toolbar

I’m not a Figma employee, but as a couple of us noted earlier in this (long) thread, their UI3 blog post reads:

So my take is they’ve sadly optimized for tablet and Windows touch screen devices over classic mouse pointer interaction. 😞

Thanks for the find ​@Uhl .I couldn’t help but respond to that justification.

Moving the toolbar to the bottom of the screen frees up more canvas space

It actually does the opposite - It eats up the canvas space.and gets in the way of what you have on the canvas. 

...it puts tools closer to where your hands naturally rest

Are they assuming most Figma users are working on tablets? Because my hands naturally rest on my keyboard.

Without having used it yet, I’m kind of already sold by https://paper.design/ with the toolbar on the left. I think Figma should follow and give you the option to position it on the top/right/bottom/left as well as floating/not floating.

It has been a year (less since forced ui3 roll out) but I’m still expecting to find tools panel at the top of the screen. The UI3 team takes a long time to consider it.

Pretty please?

i’ve been using the UI bar at the bottom ever since the mandatory switch to this and it drives me mental on a DAILY BASIS. constantly either IN THE WAY or TOO FAR AWAY. plus it shows up on TOP of prototype preview screens 😂

it’s the worst, please for the love of god let us move this bar 

I’ve had to lift up my external monitor with wooden blocks to make the toolbar usable. At the bottom of the UI, it was always hidden by my macbook screen. I find Figma is increasingly turning me off to their tools these days. The enshittification rot feels like it has well and truly set in.

It is beyond annoying when companies do things like this. It’s as though you make changes just for the sake of making changes, rather than to make our experience better. Please return the tool bar to the top or make it movable. Thank you.

It’s just me, or this floating toolbar is super annoying? I want to work, but its hide-and-seek game is frustrating, especially it’s super dark even in the light mode. It takes way too much attention and doesn’t help; just make a distraction. Can we please at least “pin” it somewhere at the corner?
