✨ Feature Request – Adjustable Line Thickness for Better Visibility in FigJam 🎨

Hello Figma Community! 👋

I’d love to propose a feature that could improve visibility when designing in Figma: the ability to adjust line thickness dynamically when creating shapes or lines.

🎯 Why is this important?

Currently, when drawing shapes or lines, they appear with a default stroke width, which can sometimes be too thin, making it difficult to see clearly—especially when zooming out or working on detailed UI elements. This would be particularly useful for:
Wireframing – Ensuring clear visibility of structures.
Annotations & Guides – Making key elements stand out.
Improved Accessibility – Easier viewing for users with visual impairments.

🛠 Suggested Features:

1️⃣ Dynamic Thickness Control – When creating a line or shape, allow users to set a default stroke weight for better visibility.
2️⃣ Auto-Adjust Stroke Width Option – A setting that increases stroke visibility based on zoom level.
3️⃣ Custom Presets for Line Styles – Save default stroke weights for different project needs.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Would this be useful for your workflow? Let’s discuss and see if we can push this idea forward! 🚀

For a larger shape, suitable for scaled-out viewing, the default stroke width, even when black, disappears almost completely, effectively making the stroke invisible.

The advantage of scale-independent drawing like FigJam is that you can draw at different scales, communicating meaningfully about the board even when zoomed out completely.  However the shape stroke only draws meaningfully at very high, zoomed-in resolutions.
