Allow us to dock/move the new UI3 toolbar

Hi everyone! I’m adding my voice to the request. The main toolbar is in a very inconvenient spot—it’s constantly being covered by dialog windows in my case. This is honestly the most inconvenient thing about the new UI. I work a lot with large design system libraries at my company, and I frequently run into the issue where dialogs from the right panel overlap with the bottom menu. This is especially problematic on a smaller laptop screen.

This is a case of fixing something that isn’t broken. I can’t imagine they had a wave of testing feedback from outside Figma that demanded these changes.

Yes please! It’s pretty disruptive to have the whole main toolbar moved. I keep looking for it in the wrong place.

agreed. I don’t like the floating bars, i would prefer the work area to be completely framed off like before but at the very least move the tool bar back up top or have option to switch position

The Bottom Center Toolbar perfectly blocks the displayed number when I am zoomed in and measuring between objects (selecting an object and holding the option while hovering over another object).

I have a few solutions (Ordered by Preference):

1. Allow the user to move the bottom center toolbar and pin/anchor it where they like or are deemed appropriate by Figma.

2. When selecting an object in the project and holding certain modifier keys, the toolbar fades away or leaves the screen since the user doesn’t use modifier keys to interact with the toolbar.

3. Display the hover measurements elsewhere on the screen/or in multiple places so that even if the UI is in the way, I can still see the measurement somewhere that is a new standard.

I hope to see a quick fix for this. Other than that one issue, I really like the new UI and the flow.

I would like to have the “old” Figma back… please?

Agree, allot of the new UI is just not working for me, and that includes the toolbar

Please add the ability to move the tool menu to any part of the desktop. Since after the last update the menu is located at the bottom, not at the top as before, which is not quite familiar.

It is still more convenient when the menu is at eye level.

I like a lot of the new changes, however, I agree that the toolbar needs some customization. As I typically use a MacBook with an external screen and the tools get lost behind my laptop display (depending on how I am sitting). It’s annoying having to peak over my laptop screen all the time. I know what you’re going to say… “just move your external display up a bit”. I have a large display and it is set at an optimal height and distance for most of the work I do. Anyway, I would appreciate the option of moving the toolbar on the top, left or right. Thanks for the consideration.

YESSSS!!! this. I usually have my display directly BEHIND my large monitor, meaning the bottom of the large monitor is slightly cut off by my laptop screen. Now every time I need to switch tools I have to close my laptop lid slightly to do so, very annoying so far.
