What if we had Background Blur effect feature in Prototype Interaction Popup Which would like this: I needed background blur behind the popup dialog, and it seems like I can’t do it. Tell me this can be done differently beside pointing whole one screen to another. #Original

Same as Title. Stop change components width properties to [fill] when adapting Auto-layout on Variant Sets very first time. It’s very annoying work to check everytime i adapt Auto-layout on Variant Sets that i designed typical width size for a Variants. This issue makes me spend more time to double check the properties. Small detail can make users happy.

[> Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.] Hi there! I’m wondering if there’s a reason why the only option for a TV device frame is 1280x720 when the standard for TV app design is 1920x1080 (at least for Apple’s tvOS). 📺 I found that this question was discussed here in 2022, but the thread has closed and 1280 remains the only TV device frame size. I created an entire prototype (screen recording linked below) at 1280 because I wanted to present it to the client within the slick-looking TV device frame, but now our dev team has to scale everything up 1.5x. For the most part this isn’t a big problem; it just creates one extra step in the workflow that shouldn’t really be necessary. So does anyone know why Figma’s only TV device frame option is 1280? Is there some reason why TV apps should be designed at this

Trust me I’ve searched for a plugin that does what I want to do - I simply cannot find one Which leads me to ask **Would it be possible to add a section / feature in the “Design” side menu similar to the “Selection Colors” section that pops up when selecting multiple frames or elements on a given page?.. ** Why? As of right now, we’re in the process of determining text style equivalencies for our web app that would need to use different text sizes as breakpoints increase. In the early process of creating our design system for this new project, it would be great to see, at a glance, all the text styles currently in use for one breakpoint to see if there are consolidations we can do prior to exploring the text style scaling or equivalencies for larger UI.

“Driven” variables for advanced prototyping Currently, when you link a variable to a UI property or component property (like the width of a frame), updating the variable in the variable panel automatically changes the property. In this setup, the variable controls the property. But what if the user could opt to reverse this relationship? Instead of the variable controlling the property, the property controls the variable. To enable this, we could introduce the concept of “driven” variables. A “driven” variable would update its value whenever the linked property changes. For example, if the width of a frame is linked to a driven variable, resizing the frame both editing AND prototyping mode would update the variable with the new width. Use Cases: Resizable objects in Prototyping Mode: With driven variables, properties like the width of a frame could become user-adjustable

When I crop a image with “cmd” pressing, crop from the top then crop from the bottom, it will replace the image position again to align the bottom and I will have to redo the procedure again. This is a frequent step when making quick slides, hope it can be fixed soon!

I understand that I can use the string variable to handle and manage text words in different language mode. However, the string variable I want to manage is not limited to the single word, sometimes, it can be a long sentence. And, when I use it, it can have different line break depending on each text area. For example, there is a String Variable as below. “Figma files are often large and complex with endless pages, library and local components, and prototype screens.” I want to use it like this in A area with 2 lines : “Figma files are often large and complex with endless pages, library and local components, and prototype screens.” And, sometimes I want to use it like this in B area with 3 lines : “Figma files are often large and complex with endless pages, library and local components, and prototype screens.” Now, when I link a text box to a string variable, and if

In the new official UI kits, example components have a special behavior where they are detached already when they are inserted. Will we eventually get this capability in our own libraries?

When designing, you often need to modify some style operations. I hope that the operation area for adjusting the style will be suspended above the layer I selected, so that I can adjust it quickly. Speed ​​up design efficiency. The following is a case I madeFigma – 25 Dec 24 When text is selected, modify the color, line height, size and other styles. When selecting the shape layer, modify the color, stroke, etc. Selecting more than two shapes can support modification of alignment attributes. Hope the suggestions can be adopted. 🩷I wish the Figma community will get better and better🩷

when working with variables especially for text i often find myself cursing because i have to enter the variables panel to edit them when editing them directly from the sidepanel would save me so many clicks and searching for the right variable AGAIN :]

I should be able to right-click on a variable selected in a property field and get an “Edit variable” option, just like there is for styles. It would save time during iteration.

You can say a feature request also to the Figma that we can able to add or create a variant in components by dragging object from outside the component. Let me explain you by an example that I have created a component which have 80 Icons. After few days I want to add more 20 Icons in that component. I can’t drag that 20 Icons add them directly to the component. I have to create an varient by clicking on plus and then have copy that inner vector and paste it into created varient one by one, 10 time damm !! 😵‍💫 So, My request is to fix it and make it able to drag and add variant to the component.

Hello Figma Team, I would like to propose a feature that allows us to rearrange the order of the variants and other properties added to the Properties section in the right-hand panel using a drag-and-drop method. Currently, these properties are listed in the order they were added, and it’s not possible to reorder them afterward. Being able to rearrange the order would greatly improve usability, especially when working with complex components, and make the design process more efficient. I believe this feature would make managing complex components much more user-friendly. I hope you’ll consider it! Thank you and best regards

Include some features (If possible) collapse/close all expanded/open layer/frame/group by Ai Drag and move component

Provide shortcuts in the dock for plugins currently in use. Users can “keep in dock” these plugins as frequently used ones or minimize them to the dock, similar to the macOS dock.

Just one reason I came to this idea, is most of typography styles in my files have line height & letter spacing in percentage: It is more convenient setting percentage for these, instead of individual one like 21 for 14, 24 for 16, etc. But for example, when 150% is not suitable in project anymore, and need to be changed, I have to change it in all styles, one-by-one. I need some places or tools or variables to change them all at once. So your Number variable, except for Text content and Font weight, supports all properties in pixel

I come from a software called Simple mind. In this app there is a type of “shape with text” that grows in the Y axis to fit the text you add, while keeping the X axis fixed. After you finished adding your text you can resize the width of the “shape with text” and it will auto resize the height to fit the content I found it super handy on simple mind and now I found annoying to resize every shape after adding my text. It could be a switch feature in the current “shape with text”… think about it

FigJam’s Connector is like this: But I hope it can be like Lucid chart: This will save our team a lot of work time adjusting the Connector

Hi, I would love to use Figma as the single source of truth for product requirements, task management and the final documentation of how things are implemented, but here is the problem I am facing: I use Figma comments for feedback with the designer I mark a frame or section in Figma for dev and it serves as the master for the developers on what the final app should look like However, the processing and logic of the design can’t be easily made in Figma so I have to use FigJam, but then figjams and I can’t easily link figjams with Figma boards I would love to have a way to break/group my Figma and figjams into tasks, assign each to a developer and track what’s in progress, done or stuck. Imagine a situation - i have a final design. it has a button to save. I would select the button with a pop-up message on Figma, add a small FigJam IFTTT flowchart to it, mark this as “ready for dev”, it would then automatically appear as for example

Every year my team members accept editing accidentally from clients and friends…and i don’t even know, and sometime email came with cost and affected. How to handle this situation? I suggest Figma only accept admin to control editing requests or has option to control. is this dark UX from Figma?

When you forget to use a variable in a Figma component, leaving it created but not assigned to anything, you might encounter an issue when trying to update that component. Figma won’t notify you that your changes won’t apply unless you either delete the unused variable or assign it properly. This can cause you to waste time because it often feels like an update component issue, making the problem less intuitive to identify. Instead of a subtle indication in the ‘Unused Changes’ tab, a more visible alert—like highlighting the component with a red border, shading, or showing a clear warning when pressing the ‘Publish Changes’ button—could make it easier to understand and resolve the issue.

Like most users, I end up with many layers (often in nested groups) and sometimes I just want to back “up” one level to apply some settings, or nudge it with the keyboard, etc. For example: I have a button (component) that is buried some levels down inside a few different nested groups, and I want to nudge it a few pixels to the left. Currently, I have to click/double-click on the element repeatedly until I reach the button (but not too deep or I’ll select the text which cannot be “nudged” with the arrow keys to move the button). A trick I used often in Sketch is to command+click to directly jump to the deepest level, then tap the ESC key to go up one level where I can nudge to my heart’s content. This 1/2 works in Figma. Command+click works - and is useful for text overrides, for example - but tapping the ESC key is a global deselect function. While deselecting everything is sometimes useful, it’s easy to click on the artboard or an area with no objects if that’s w

We can save one or more effects as a style and assign them a name. However, this is often inconvenient and usually unnecessary. Naming individual effects would be extremely helpful. This would eliminate the need to identify them through clicking on each effect to view its properties, which can be confusing, since similar effects might have comparable values. Less clicking, less scanning, less headache

Hello ! Everything is in the title 🙂 I really do think that Figma should work on a functionality that would allow designer to insert icons/images/etc into text content while keeping the responsive aspect of our design. Waiting for that update so bad, but if anyone has a hack to do it, I am aware! I already tried using auto layout but I had to split my text and it is painful when I want to make changes… Most of Adobe softs know how to do it. Ask them to share their knowledge, haha! Please Figma, read me. Hear me. Do it. ^^ Thanks!

As a user in an organization i find myself using the side panel to “bookmark” documents and project quite a lot. while the feature to bookmark pages is awesome, it does get very cluttered an i wondered if there would be a “home page” or “landing page” for each user, how would it look like. i played with the idea a little and here is a mockup as i see the solution for it. The current situation: The current side panel al
