Just got UI3 today. Contrast is far too low on icons in the Layers panel, grey text in the Styles panel, and input fields, buttons, etc. RGB values of 245, 245, 245 are not dark enough compared to 255,255,255 white values used for the UI. Please darken that colour further. I was able to get every problematic grey shade in one screenshot. This needs to be dramatically improved for the sake of usability.

Allow to create sections for single object. It’s very common case. Add auto-layout functionality to align objects inside section. Now we use plugin “Screen Organizer” to make all margins consistent.

It would be great to be able to set the REM value per frame/section too. If the default REM is set to 16 px it would be great to be able to side-step that for a section that is mobile frames for example. One option could be to be able to change the REM value at the code settings, and change the value. It would also be a great feature if the variables would be possible to add math functions. For example that a [variableA] = 3*[variableB]. I know there are plug-ins for that but if that would be part of the basic FIGMA feature regarding variables.

A pretty minor thing but with the newer UI3 update it feels less obvious that I am dev mode. I spent some time trying to troubleshoot why I couldn’t rename a Figma page only to realize I was in dev mode. I don’t feel like its obvious enough that I am in a different state. Part of it might be because the dev mode toggle and tools is now at the bottom view and a little out of sight. Or maybe some things outside of the canvas should still be editable like the ability to rename Figma pages?

There should be a way to see your colleagues within FigJam. Hey Figma, does this exist already and if so, am I out of the loop? If not, is it on the roadmap? I just want to see the people I’m jammin’ with, ya know?

As Figma has recently updated its UI3 to use fixed side panels (which used to float), I for one would love for the top bar to be back in its place… which would also mean that the now hidden boolean operators and component switches (or any other submenu for that matter) would no longer be hidden (red squares in this screenshot). Apparently the user base isn’t ready for an interface that floats… nor am I for a floating menu on the bottom. It really is only a few pixels loss in the total height… but improves on usability a lot, because the submenu’s (red again) aren’t hidden under some icon somewhere… but can be used right when you need them. And you can do that with a lot more components. When I select two objects: When I select a text: Which in UI3 was hidden behing a submenu. Wouldn’t it be nicer if all those options were all in the top bar!? Or better yet… a combination of the two? On central menu for contextual tools… and full options still in a dropdown menu. Hidden in three dot

When working on multiple files at a time -the old UI with black header was much easier to differentiate b/w Figma and fig jam files. Now, I have spend 4 sec to look for the exact file I want to click on.

As a design systems designer with a Design team of 75+ designers I want to bulk swap an entire component library with a similar but updated library So that when I’m syncing Figma Libraries between two or more separate Figma Organizations, I can easily replace a whole component library at the library level instead of needing designers to swap libraries per Figma project file. This feature would use some existing workflows and interfaces for choosing, comparing, and merging/swapping components in bulk. This swap should be treated as publishing a new update to the existing library and still require Designers to “accept” the changes. New components or existing components with a different name, should be treated as introducing a new component into the library. Open Questions: How are new components handled within the updated library after the swap? How are design elements that aren’t components handled within a library swap? To give a specific example of how this scenario appears. Organ

I have sure the most Figma’s users separate their assets in a page called by “Assets” and cant link the interaction “navigate to” to a component to another frame in the main page. Please, vote to Figma’s team add a way that we could use navigate to on a component in a different page from another.

Hello! When a stakeholder leaves comments on a design, we make changes that involve adding/removing sections, changing their heights, etc. What this does is that now, after I’ve made the change, all the comments underneath that change haven’t moved, but the design has changed. Just like comments move when you move the whole artboard, could we not have comments move inside an artboard when sections disappear? If a 300px section disappears, all comments underneath that should move 300px up, to ensure that all comments stay placed on top of where they were intended to. Otherwise, you end up with a lot of “I don’t like this, can we change it?” on top of something it was not meant to be on top of.

Double clicking the edge of an element to change its width/height property is neat, but finding and clicking edges can be error prone and finicky, especially with nested objects. It’s also hard to remember which property is for regular double clicking and which is for option/alt. It would be super convenient and fun if I could just hit w or h to cycle through hug, fill, and fixed. Easy to remember, easy to execute.

As a user… 😁 I wish I could set the default styles per Figma elements separately. For example: Text will get a grey fill The square will have a different grey filling The section will have a green stroke with a 10px stroke etc… Who is with me??

There is a bug in the copy link to selection function. When using the pop up menu and selecting “copy link to selection” it will copy the link to the exact thing that I’ve selected (yay!) The “copy link to selection” function also has a shortcut key, ⌘L (yay!) When using the ⌘L shortcut the link copied only points to the frame/section that the selected object is within, not the original selection. This means that the pop up menu option and the shortcut for that menu option will point to two different links (boo!)

In my workflow, I need to scale a lot of content by width (in pixels), rather than setting the multiplier. In the old UI, I could just hit K + tab and enter in the width value. In the new UI, because width is now above the multiplier input field and the multiplier field is focused by default, I have to hit K, then hold shift and then tab + tab + tab to get to the width input. This has added noticeable friction to the keyboard shortcut especially when having to scale lots of objects in succession. Please consider moving the multiplier input field to the top, or have the first input field (width) selected by default. Thank you!

I think this is basic features, custom line style dashed (now it like dotted style) line size (now have Thin,Thick. User should be custom line’s stroke weight flexible, Ex. figjam have select size option) color (should be add more color) this features should be flexible ✌️ ✌️

I believe it is a known issue that the link for mentions in comments may not take you to the proper location. Has anyone considered adding the notification number to the email. It would allow me to efficiently find the comment and provide my input.

I got some trouble when opening almost 80% of my plugin, that cant be clicked, interact or do anything but closing the plugin itself, example of that is after i open [webp convertion] plugin, it just open the window, but cant be clicked or interact, and i can only close the plugin.

Please bring the floating panels BACK! why did you remove them??? based on unprofessional users??? at list give us the option to choose…

Our Figma user base is very large and is organized into the Workspaces. It would be helpful for the Workspace admins to be able to upgrade/downgrade seats within their workspace.

FigJam is currently pretty limited when it comes to architecture diagrams. We really need the ability, like other diagramming tools, to add customer connection points onto all shapes so that lines can attach in more than just 4 places.

Only horizontal text alignment is available. There’s no option to center the texts vertically inside a cell in a table

It would be really helpful to either display in description the file name for an image asset - even when exporting the png Figma is relabeling everything and making it incredibly difficult to track stock image source …

There are a lot of WONDERFUL features in Figma, including the new ones! It’s amazing! Lately, Figma has been slow. And getting slower. Bugs are more frequent. Even with a very small file (one page and a dozen screens) the file loads slow (not a huge issue), but the Prototyping is even slower. I have hover states on my buttons, and there’s about a 500ms delay for when they show up. I can’t run usability tests where it works that poorly. It would make most of my data useless. I tried various things to speed it up: Removing Hover States Removing Smart Animate Simply other aspects of variant-prototype interactions Still it’s slow. My impression is that, due to the lifecycle of Figma, we’re at the stage where feature bloat begins (have to have something new and sexy to make investors happy), features get locked behind different plans (like FigJam and Dev mode, but this one makes sense to me), and stability and speed suffers. I’m likely wrong as to the reasons (and definitely incomplete),

There’s discussion about making the toolbar moveable – sure that works but at least make the component and action menu more central in the meantime.

As someone who loves to use the old-school Component Variants, I often create components with multiple variant properties (sometimes more than 10). I sometimes create all of the variants of a component as frames, then select “Create component set” and organize my properties afterwards. My big problem with the current way that variants are handled is the following flow: There is something deeply disorienting about the popover covering my whole screen and asking for both a property name and the initial value. Even when I have a clear idea of what I want to do (e.g add a property called “Color” with variants “Dark” and “Light”), the mere visual of this popup often makes me forget what I wanted to type in the first place. I would love for this small interaction to go back to how it was in 2021, where the property gets added directly into the sidebar with default values (like “Property 1” and “Default”), with the ability to change the values afterwards. This would also make it a lot easie
