Allow us to dock/move the new UI3 toolbar

I love the new UI of the beta version, yet I have the problem of navigating in terms of eye direction which relates to this bar and it placement. hence i would want to make the bar to be movable and static, thank you

I can’t use UI3. Toolbar completely hidden by my open laptop screen slightly overlapping.
Only options are:

1. close the laptop screen I use all the time for proto/mirror previews
2. Find something to lift the huge 49 inch monitor
3. Go back to UI2.

Only option is the last one.

Also, the floating panels (that are actually fixed and non movable) are visually similar to my own product design work (some rounded corners, dark colors in places) and it visually clashes.

This is not a practical improvement. In practice, this general UI update is not an improvement. I’d suggest finding some options for us users to configure the UI in a way that works for us.

Placing the toolbar at the bottom is difficult to use because my focus is usually on the upper half of the screen. Having to constantly look down to interact with the toolbar is really inconvenient and strains my eyes.

I tried to live with it for a few weeks now but I give up. Toolbar position at the bottom of the screen is not workign at all. Thankful that the option to revert the UI is still avaialable. 🤞 this is fixed in UI3 ASAP

Would love to see the UI3 toolbar to be freely placed on the canvas. Much like Photoshop solves this, with a simple handle on the end of the toolbar. Right now for me it doesn’t work on the bottom half.

I would even go a step further and suggest that it can be placed back in it’s old position, just like Photoshop handles all toolbars.

Who’s with me on this?

Please make it possible to move it to the top 🙏 The current bottom placement makes it impossible to use Figma with on Macs with automatic hidden dock.

I made a little demo of what I mean. With the handle people could control the position of the bars and make them “stick” to the sides (just like in Photoshop).

This is only partially solving the issue. Unfortunately, the bottom toolbar is still floating and many of the problems listed with the floating side panels are also valid for the bottom toolbar.

I’m happy user feedback is being heard and appropriately integrated, but this announcing “fixed panels are back” when 1 out of 3 is still a floater is misleading.

Thanks for you feedback, @Rui_P_Cabrinha!

I’ve moved your reply to a more relevant topic where the UI3 team is tracking feedback and improvements for the toolbar.

The top half of the application is where most of the utility resides. Most apps position their tools across the top for this reason — easy, quick, and efficient access. This is crucial for the most important actions in Figma.
