Figma should provide the ability to preview a font usage (in a frame, etc, this should be configurable the same way that pixel preview is) with subpixel font rendering (perhaps OS dependent unless something can be done to make an agnostic subpixel rendering system embedded into WebAssembly - which can be derived from existing solutions) rather than the grayscale preview that we currently get in general, or with pixel preview, exporting to a bitmap/raster, etc. This would be useful for previews and bitmap exports for demonstrations, as it would allow for font rendering to be WYSIWYG. Subpixel font rendering often isn’t just a handy thing that is done by many renderers to boost readability, sometimes it is required for readability, and in common programs such as Windows File Explorer, with a font size of 12px and Segoe UI, this text:

I may have worded it incorrectly, but it would be great if I could choose the direction I wanted an component to expand in auto-layout. Nothing fancy: top to bottom, bottom to top, left to right, right to left-the basics. Right now getting something to expand from right to left is a pain, and it doesn’t play nice with auto-layout. Please, please add this. Cheers!

First and foremost, I want to express my deep admiration for the incredible work you’ve been doing with Figma. It’s a phenomenal tool that has revolutionized how designers and developers collaborate. The platform is intuitive, powerful, and incredibly versatile, making my day-to-day significantly more productive and creative. While I’m a huge fan of the platform, I’ve noticed an area where I believe an additional feature could make it even more powerful: the ability to modify design elements directly through Figma’s API. Currently, the API is mostly read-only, which is fantastic for pulling data and integrating with other systems. However, the ability to make programmatic changes to a project would open up a whole new world of possibilities. Imagine, for instance, a system where users could update texts or images in a Figma design via a web form. This would enable deeper integrations with CMSs, databases, and other tools, making Figma the definitive hub for any design

have make an experiment with a bouncy button, you can see it heretwitter.com I wondering it will be more cool if there any sound effect provided by Figma, people not only see with their eye, but have a ear to hear. Thank you!

Somehow, I would love to have a different icon (or even a different color?) to easily distinguish between local component instances & instances from external library components. This would help when joining a team or project or when revisiting a file after some time. Looking at the layer tree right now, you have no chance to know if a selected component instance is local or from a remote library. Only in the right-hand Design pane you can see if you can click through to the component master in the same file or if it will open another file.

Most of the time when I design websites I use FullHD resolution because most of my clients have FullHD monitors. Would be great I there was a predefined preset for frames for FullHD and also predefined prototype screen for FullHD. What I mean is this: Frames: Prototypes:

Dev view generates a link specifically for dev but I generally reference the design link throughout my workflow (jira, confluence, miro, etc). I would like one link that takes users to the view that’s most appropriate for them. The developers on my team pick up the design link and won’t bother going to dev mode, then they ask me for specs. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ I’d like to train fewer devs on switching to dev view that’s best for them.

When pasting text in FigJam, it happens, that the Font is not the way I want it. I want to be abled to change that 🙂 Best regards,reventwork.com

Hello friends, how are you, I would like to share an idea to make it easier to download files and keep a local backup of them, currently we have to go into each file and download them one by one, it would be very interesting to be able to select this from the Figma home menu and also select everyone at once, whether from your own drafts or from the team you participate in, thank you in advance.

I know many users would like to have comments auto-updated in the native apps (MacOS, Windows 11). This is a VERY important feature for team collaboration. Pls pls add it.

I use connectors fairly extensively in Figma files to show user flows in mockups, but often find they try to connect to anchor points on nested components rather than on top-level frames. I find the connectors’ anchor points unintuitive at the best of times, but as a first step I think it would be great to have connectors snap to top-level frames easily (perhaps while holding a key on the keyboard). connectors

I like the shortcuts to jump to flow in prototype mode / panel using the target icon. Can we have similar for design mode / panel for sections? I now use sections to organize my designs and love it… be great to be able to quickly jump to a section. Thanks!

For 2 years I’ve been working with a team, and we created a bunch of documenting tools, like the sticky notes, some highlights blocks with arrows, etc as a components. And we used them to document the designs (Dev notes, behaviour notes, etc) in regular files. Product managers also tend to draw flow lines to connect mockups so that developers easily understand what’s going on. FigJam is basically making the same, but it’s not that usable in our case, because you need to put a lot of effort to move designs from Figma file to Jam, and it’s a hustle to make changes and mockups sync across. And even then, you need to somehow link back to Figma file so that developers can use inspector. Thus, my suggestion: add FigJam as a layer above regular pages same as commenting. Pros: You can draw notes and changes while on group calls, instead of messing with designs (argghh) You can document designs inside the file without the need to push designs ar

Hi there! I wanna share my idea about local variables. I wanna create various and unique color or number variables for every component. For example, I created a button and created fill, border, and text colors. And I have inputs also but I don’t wanna see variables that previously I have created for buttons, that’s why I need to connect button variables to my button component only. And button color variables will not appear for inputs. I think it will be useful to link variables to every unique component.

When creating a component set that is inside of a section, all frames when viewed in Dev mode will have the same name. My suggestion is to show the first property value of each instance to make it easier for developers to navigate. In my case Desktop 1920px, Notebook 1440px, etc.

Hey there! It is so good to have a manifest artifact in its own file to extract project manifest from the code. However, when a new update is there, it requires plugin devs to check the doc and update if needed. It would be way easier to update manifest.json for latest updates, if a JSONSchema existed for it.

I have defined a variable as some type (for example, String variable Fee amount = 25000) , and if I want to switch the type to another (String to a number variable of 25000), I can’t do it currently. I have to delete the first defined variable first and then create another variable with the desired variable type.

Is there currently a way to set a component boolean property = a variable? Having this feature would allow creating a set variable interaction that toggles the boolean variable. Alternatively, add an interaction action that is “Set Property Value”, where you can select a property and select a value from that property to change with the interaction. It would also be useful if using an interaction you could set a variable = value of another variable.

I see where someone requested a prototype for an Android smart watch but the topic was closed. Still only see Apple Watch in prototypes. Would be nice to have some options. Please advise if this is on the roadmap and when, if at all, it will be delivered.

Its good to indicate typo error in comment input box but for solve that, Please enable right click in comment input box so commenter can improve their typo errors.

My company issues virtual credit cards that are either monthly or annual. Your billing process charges a fee annually, as well as every month so I need to charge those to different payment methods, but I can’t see a way to add more than one in my settings. I really don’t want to have to deal with having to remember to come in and change a payment method for the annual fee. Could you please make it possible to use multiple payment methods?

Hello there ! Here what I discovered recently: you have a component Apply an instance swap property on a placeholder in your component. Apply variables on your placeholder. Create an instance of your component. Use the instance swap properties to select the component of your choice. Then variables are not anymore applied on your swap component instance. So I know in some ways it is logical. I applied variables on my placeholder, not on the instance of the component choosed through the instance swap property. And I know how to resolve this problem in another way. But anyway it could be very interesting to be able to pass constraint/variables of my placeholder to all other component’s instances when I use an instance swap property. Cheers, Xavier.

Hey everyone, today I had to use the asset/component explorer a bit more than usually and I got very annoyed about how the folders are structured and displayed within it. Overall I tried to rethink how folders can be implemented more user friendly in the visual flow of the explorer. Currently the user has to navigate a lot when trying to enter different folders. Also the whole explorer looks messy when there are a lot of component and folders mixed. In the top explorer (second image) the folders are also not sorted within the A to Z structure which makes sense cause that would make things even more messy but it’s still not the best approach in my opinion. I know that the examples I provided might be a bit tricky when there are 3 or more nested folders. Here are examples how something like this could look like.

After searching for Figma, you can delete/move/copy files. I often use search among numerous design files. However, when you find a file through a folder directory, you can delete/move/copy it, but this function is not available in the search results. This difference in functionality causes numerous inconveniences. Is there anyone who agrees with my opinion? I hope this feature gets improved.
