PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! This toolbar fixed to the bottom is awful. Do you know how big our screens are? And how long it took to train ourselves to go to the top. I would love to be able to DRAG the toolbar right where I am working. Pretty pretty please.

If not, just an option of top or bottom would work.

I’m OK with the trend but I hope there’s an option to have it flushed to either left / right / middle so that if you’re right handed, it’s easier to grab things on the bottom right.

I don’t know I feel like it’s so far down that I dont even click on the tools… I just memorise the hotkeys!

100% would be better at the top

I much prefer having the toolbar at the top and the panels framed, not floating. Some of my files have the old UI, which I prefer, and others have the new. This threw me off.

Please create an option to have the top toolbar and the framed panels.

I’m investigating if I should use FigJam or an alternative, so far I really love FigJam except for the positioning of the toolbar. Would love to be able to put it on the left or right (having an option for different preferences works).

Especially as my setup is mostly on wide screen monitors, vertical space is at a premium but I have oodles of horizontal pixels to use for fixed UI elements.

okay, so I think the UI3 update is really good and all of that but the bar where you pick the mouse, frame, etc. should be moved to the top (if possible to the left) or atleast be able to move the bar.

I am also instinctually looking for the toolbar at the top, and it feels awkward being at the bottom. I don’t use FigJam much so I’m not used to it. It also conflicts with the MacOS dock if you are working in the browser & it’s not fullscreen.

I suggest add a grabbing handle to it, so we can dock it to where we like it?

Lifesaver tip, you can switch back to the old UI by clicking the ? at the bottom right of the interface and click “Go back to previous UI”.

Here echoing the other thoughts, I think the toolbar on the bottom could be useful in some scenarios, but we should have the option to drag or dock it to the top or bottom of the screen. The way my desk is set up, my laptop screen often blocks the bottom inch of my monitor… Exactly where the toolbar is.

For now we still have the option to revert to UI2 but assuming that will be going away at some point. This seems to be a common request. Adobe Photoshop let you customize your panels and toolbar, attach, reattach, move around, this was useful to operate in different modes, editing a photo, working on a layout.

I wish I could move the new bottom tool bar where ever I want in the interface. Would give me more freedom to design as I see fit.
