Quick Actions Menu Contrast

Improve the contrast of the highlighted menu item in the Quick Action Menu in dark mode. When keyboard navigating its hard for me to confidently select a quick action menu item bc I cant see the contrast between regular and highlighted menu items.

Allow to change scroll speed

Maybe if we could alter the speed at which the elements of the screen move, we could generate interesting effects such as parallax scrolling. Imagine you have a frame and an image object inside that is going to scroll at 0.75x of the regular speed. This will create a parallax effect.

Allow creating new variables directly within a variable sub-group

Currently, newly created variables always appear at the root of a variable group. When you have sub-groups within variable groups this behavior gets annoying fast, because it means scrolling up from the sub-group to the top of its parent, finding the newly created variable, and manually dragging it down into the appropriate subgroup. If the sub-group list is long and a lot of variables must be created, this can be a tedious exercise. It would be fantastic if we were able create a new variable at any level to eliminate the need for this manual step.

Ability to highlight comments with different colors

As a designer I would like to be able to color code comments in Figma as well as make personal or hidden comments for myself. It would be great to be able to discern questions from comments, suggestions, edits, and feedback without having to go through each comment.

Make the Version History header sticky

Would be really really really helpful if the version history header of the list would be sticky instead of scrollable. It’s incredibly annoying to scroll through endless save points, but when trying to edit, forgetting you’re browsing version history because you can’t see the Version History header on the right side, in the list. And if I want to close it I need to scroll all the way tot the top to pres the X button to close it. Make it sticky please. It’s a simpler interaction

Control developer access settings separately to viewers

Split access controls for developers and viewers, they should be separate roles. Use case - I want to share a file with an external partner to review a design, however I don’t want them to be able to copy or export the file, although I wouldn’t mind if they shared it with their colleagues. However I also want my developers to still be able to export assets from this file when it’s time for handoff. Currently all these settings are grouped under one setting; “Allow viewers to copy, share, and export from this file”. A better solution would be to split out each action e.g. copy, share and export and also be able to change these access controls per role (developer and viewer): This needs to be implemented before developers become paid seats, at the moment they just have the same permissions as viewers.

Stick / Pin preview window button

Hey Figma it would be nice to have a button at the top of the preview that would stick current frame so it would not change it when I change selection. Thanks Figma – 30 Aug 23

Component menu under resources should remain open

Hi, I use the Resource popup to select icons. I search for the icons and drag them to the design file. Every time the resource popup is closed after drag, I think it should open until I click somewhere on the design file, or I can close it with a close button. When I want to choose more than one icon, every time components load again, this is unnecessary.

Instructions view for Developers in Prototype mode

I want to leave instructions to the developers inside the prototype mode (see attached examples), and I couldn’t find a good plugging. 📯Figma - Can you develop an instructions view that has an on-off toggle?

Freeform Gradient

I think it would be very useful if we had a Freeform Gradient tool, like we see in Adobe Illustrator. There is currently a plugin (Mesh Gradient) that has this function, but we know it’s not the same as what we see in Adobe Illustrator. My suggestion is that you make it identical to Ai. This is one of the functions I miss most in Figma.

Provide ability to prevent updates from automatically appearing in prototypes after sharing them externally

Collaboration is great… when it’s the good time ! Designing is a process, and it can take a bit of time, it can need some internal discussion, etc… Once I have share my first screens in my prototype with my client on an url, my work continue. I don’t want him to be perturbed by my evolving frames, or I don’t want him to comment when it’s not the good moment… How can I continue working and avoid him to see the changes until I decide it?

LAUNCHED: Min and Max Width for Auto Layout

I would like to add a max-width to a text box while using auto layout to keep the word count per line at a reasonable minimum. Currently, I have the text element set to “Fill Container” which makes the text respond very nicely to the screen size. But because it is set to “Fill Container”, the text spans the entire width of the element which makes the text lines more difficult for users to read quickly. If a max-width was set, the component should respond until it reaches the max-width, which would help keep the line length down. I also feel like there are many other circumstances where max and min-width would be extremely helpful Anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone have a great fix/hack to get around it? Looking forward to seeing what you have to say. Cheers,

Running projects sections

Hi Figma community, I would like the idea of having a new section in the left pane (maybe above the favorite files) where I would include all the running projects

Being able to filter between seen and hidden layers

If I could toggle all hidden layers to be seen together, it would make certain workflows a lot simpler

AAA anlyzing

When hovering over elements in the web browser inspector, you can get an AAA rating based on how accessible the design is for people with visual impairments. One of these things is the contrast between colors. It would be nice if we could get a similar tool for Figma to help us keep an ease of access approach to our designs 🙂

Figma community is a wild west of rubbish and abuse. is it ever going to be moderated and cleaned?

It’s such a sad state of community (not this community but Figma “Community” that’s in the Figma app itself.) Months ago I wrote about myriad of “draw-a-square-and-publish”, child drawing level “designs”. There’s less of them now but not because they are moderated, but because now there’s thousands of “draw a square, call it an input field and publish” designs. where people spend more time on cover than design itself. And now shameless abuse spirals out of control: This account, simply takes any design they like, slap $5 price on it and sell on gumtree: https://www.figma.com/@motaaaaa This abuses Figma community to advertise youtube videos. https://www.figma.com/@TDSunshine

Can we disabled Figma Jam by default

Our Team doesn’t use this function “Figma Jam” and when adding new members It’s enabled by default and have to manually restrict it so I won’t get charged. Can we just have this disabled by default instead and Billed/Enabled only when Figma Jam is used?

Some way to select the objects that Figma identifies and highlights as similar

In this case I have the same component duplicated four times to have five placed instances total. When selecting one of the inside pieces, Figma highlights those same pieces in other parent instances. But there’s no way to select those things Figma’s highlighting without intermediate steps like searching by name. Clicking them all one by one in this example isn’t too bad, but doing it with some nested component across a dozen prototype screens is pretty bad. It’d be really cool if I could hit some keyboard shortcut or a quick action to go with the existing “select all ” options. (Select all with same instance doesn’t work, it selects all the parent components instead of the highlighted pieces) With it already being highlighted, it feels so close yet so far.

Double-click corner of a section in Figjam to expand and center objects

In Figma, sections can be double clicked on their edge to resize based on their contents. This feature is missing in FigJam.

Provide more notice of scheduled maintenance (in-app banner, email blast, tweet, etc.)

If there is going to be scheduled maintenance, it would be awesome if we were informed at least 30-60 minutes before, in the app. Today I found there was one scheduled, but only by going to status.figma.com. The only reason I did that is because the app stopped working and so I checked if it was down. I also didn’t realize I couldn’t reload tabs, so all my progress was halted.

Feature request: Your Content Is Out of View button

A button saying “Your content is out of view” when you are in a blank section of canvas and want to return to where you have content. For those of you who are familiar with Framer, there is a button that does exactly this and I have found it quite useful.

Collaborate on String Variables + Import from CSV

Our team loves the new variables. In particular, we’ve found it helpful to manage UI copy translations. I would love to be able to import the string variables from a CSV into the variables collection and their respective modes. This way, I could collaborate with our translators and then import all the strings into Figma variables at once. Thanks!

Global Notification Badge

I spend hours or days working in a file. Comments on previous files I’ve worked on are missed because the notification bell and badge aren’t viewable when you’re in a file.
