Hi people, When we are working in our team in a Figma Design file, it happens that the cursor / user color of the team members are often changed. Sometimes my co-worker is yellow, sometimes gray, sometimes green. It would be cool for everyone to have their own set color so I don’t have to read the name next to the cursor every time! Kind regards Daniel

Hi folks, here’s a suggestion: When I hover over the cluster of file cover thumbnails we now see in the Team view, and you hover over 1 specific file, I would rather see the file thumbnail expand to be legible so I can read what is on the file cover. That would let us create covers with information about what is in the file for a quick view, not just it’s filename as appears now. Thanks, Ben @BenKopf_UPS

Support for native functionality of the following plugin would be helpful.Figma

It would be great if a component has fixed size variable, that you can still select other options within that collection/group. For example I have an input field and have several sizes of height. However, the only way to change it is to detach 😦 What is interesting is that you can adjust the frame of the component without detaching 🤔

Objects placed in tables need: postits, highlights,etc aren’t recognised as part of the table. So if i have a postit in a table, and then add rows above, the posit will STAY where it is rather than sticking to the box it was put in.

The idea The back interaction brings you back to the previous frame, but sometimes you want to step back multiple frames. I suggest adding a number to the back action. Problems with workarounds If you have access to advanced prototyping features, you can stack multiple back actions in the interaction, but it will use the same animation from the navigation interaction that got you there in the first place. If you stack five back actions, it will play five animations, which looks horrendous. You may also ask, why don’t you just navigate back to your desired frame? Because it breaks the navigation history. Say you have frames 1 through 5. You want to use the back button on frame 5 to go back to frame 2, but frame 2 also has a back button, which then will

We have conditional prototype, what is great, could we now have ways to get usage data from Figma? Like add google analytics snippets for see usage on each screen, or some heatmap tool like clarity or hotjar.

would love to be able to toggle on copy/paste as text as the default behavior.

Hello @Figma_Support , I’m currently working on a project which uses many component instances with images inside them. My task is to swap the images to other images which are already imported in my Figma file however the only choice I have is Choose Image which is importing again. It’s a pain. It would be cool if we could choose an image from the viewport, a bit like what we can do with the colour eyedropper tool.

Would love to use other type/fonts in FigJam so we can use our or our clients styles to tailor the branding of our presentations and workshops. Being able to leverage the Figma Design system would be preferable, so governance is possible (color, type etc) Related, allow for the “sticky note” to have a customizable color like the shapes.

Looks like this one was asked before, but i’d like to suggest again that Figma create a User Testing Mode for prototypes. Something that is easy to integrate with user testing platforms that removes unnecessary UI elements, and adds the ability to add feedback within the prototype using the comments feature.

Instead of just assigning numeric vars from one collection to another, we might do simple math operations with them, and in such way create very functional systems. In many design systems we have so called “golden numbers” which function as multiplicators for other values. e. g. : I have some atomic var: var: gridSize: “6”; And then I can have this functional var: var: padding: mode1: [gridSize]*1, mode2: [gridSize]*2, mode3: [gridSize]*3 And this way, if I change the baseGrid value, all others will automaticly update accordingly. And thi sis something with like tons of awesome.

As a user, I need bulk editing of nested properties. As you see in the attached files, I have 2 of the same components with nested properties. But if I select more than one of them - nested properties will disappear and I will see only properties related directly to the current component.

In prototyping mode for opening an overlay there is the ability to add a background (ie; 40% tint of #000). It would be nice to also be able to blur the background.

Currently the only function of fixed positioning on an element is to make it persistent in the same spot at all times. While this is useful the majority of the time, there are instances where it would be helpful to have an element become fixed when it scrolls into view or reaches the top of the screen. For example, there could be a web page that has a secondary navigation below the hero that will become fixed when it reaches the top of the screen and be persistent for the rest of the scroll depth. Then when a user scrolls back up, the element releases from the fixed position when it reaches its original position. You can see this in effect on this page: Develop custom experiences with the Zendesk Platform | Zendesk Sunshine. It could also be used in more advanced manners such as multi-level parallax scrolling.

Hey there, I was playing around with the new variables Beta. I find it cumbersome to use, especially when on a small screen. I believe it could be great if it could detached from the UI into a standalone component in the actual artboard. This way it could grow and there could be a structured overview of all variables at a glance. Here’s a mockup as a screenshot:

It would be a nice feature maybe to have a general search no matter in which file/tab you are (desktop app). Similar to macOS spotlight search .

I’d put in a vote for a “paid priority care” queue where users can pay $10 (i’d probably have paid $30 as that’s 2 per-month seats on our 4 seat team) to have immediate live person responding to my CS query about deleted file today (the CS person who resolved was super great btw) I know putting a price on “priority care” would need careful market testing, and potentially some “number of follow ups” included in the price, but feels like a reasonable place to give users a “pay for overnight shipping” of CS that would be valuable to the customer and to the company alike.

I would really appreciate the ability to create variable blur effects in Figma. Ideally the effect would also work in Prototypes (content traveling behind it would blur). The specific reason for this is to have wysiwyg visuals for Apple’s visionOS header and footer bars.

This is one of my most used features of Arc, and I would love to see this pattern applied to the Figma app. When no frames are selected, it would be great if hitting CMD + Shift + C would copy the share link to my clipboard.

I love the branch/merge feature however I am constantly updating in main when I am intending to update in the branch I opened. The update from main feature is nice, however it’s stressful to have to choose which-update from-which-branch I want when I didn’t want to make updates in main in the first place. I’ve even selected the wrong update and lost work a few times now. I would love if Figma could add something in the working area of the main file that was more obvious upon opening a branch. Something like a bar across the top of the screen that said “Main file: Branch xxxx currently open”.

You should make more clear that the name of the Team is the Name appearing on the Billing to avoid nick names

We’re trying to use the Jira widget to share the single source of truth about the readiness of component within Figma designs. Unfortunately, in the expanded form (which shows the status of the JIRA ticket - the most important information), the widget can’t be used as a link to JIRA issue in read-only mode. This seems quite a major use case, is there a way how to achieve it or are there any planned improvements. As a workaround we are attaching two widgets - in the expended form and in the form of the link but it’s not the ideal way how to work with that. 😉

It is massive work of link color alias in variables. There will cool if user can alt-drag copy of alias from one to anther. or copy / paste shortcut
