Differentiate between Border vs Outline

I 100% agree, but also realize Figma will never do this.

Pretty much every feature request here is for CSS features like this, yet Figma isn’t built on CSS and they philosophically are against emulating web-design 1:1 (even though it would actually be better for non-web-design as well).

We need a product design tool built on real HTML/CSS rendering so we can stop being held back by Figma like this, they will never implement such technically specific feature requests.

This has long been a problem in Figma. @Mattan_Ingram said it best…Figma honestly does not care to make the proiduct work for designers.

Why that sounds funny I don;t know. But it is truly a problem. I was hoping Adobe would make the deal go through and fix a lot of that.

Instead we are stuck with Figma releasing half-thought, undercooked, stuff and never looking back.

Hey All, thanks for your feedback!

I’ve updated this topic for clarity, and we’ll pass this idea onto our team for future consideration.

Isn’t setting Stroke to Outside would be actually the same as Outline?

Outline is a line outside of the element’s border. Unlike other areas of the box, outlines don’t take up space, so they don’t affect the layout of the document in any way.

Agree! This issue impacted my team and we have a problem with different button sizes in a result, deviation occurs because one button was filled with color, and another outline, so in code it resulted in 32 vs 34 px height 😐

But Figma’s devmode shows everything as border…
