Allow us to dock/move the new UI3 toolbar

It’s weird that this toolbar at the bottom UX is usually done on tablet apps for creatives… but then as we all know, there’s no official Figma editor on tablets so why was this done for Desktops? Such a weird decision unless they’re launching a Figma editor for tablets.

Similar to others who say the toolbar is hidden behind their laptop screens, in some circumstances it also gets hidden behind the Mac dock menu. This requires resizing the Figma window to ‘end’ above the dock.

Kind of shocked you cant reposition that toolbar to the top of the screen. It would be an improvement to have this feature moving forward.

good point i agree with this sentiment

Allow me to dogpile. I hate the toolbar placement. Back up top, pleeeeeeaaase!

There’s a reason no other desktop creative tools have the toolbar at the bottom… +1 for at least the control to move if up top, although I would argue that it should be the default state for the UI

I’m switching to the classic view just because of this tool bar placement in the bottom center, it interferes so much, until I can move it, I’m reverting.

Hey folks, totally agree - this is fixing a non-issue. Figma was great before, all the new floating toolbars and menus do is add noise around them. Just look at the new floating menus / bars on each side - the space between them and the design underneath is of no use whatsoever, but the design bleeding through adds noise to the toolbar itself. This is a regression actually in terms of usability. Please allow people to stay on the previous UI - I will stay there as long as I can.

It does seem like the new UI has been influenced by Miro, as well as Canva and some other mobile-first, “easy design” apps. I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t kind of an industry standard for UX/UI now. I hate to lose that level of usability to Figma trying to court the “automate away your designers!” crowd.

It would be interesting to see how many Figma users leave the whole menu open while they design. Like honestly I can’t think of a reason to minimize the new floating menus, unless I’m presenting… and they already had a setting for that.
