I’d like to be able to have items fixed on scroll not necessarily as the top layer. It would help create things like parallax effects, or reveals on scroll. Also sometimes want things to scroll over a stick logo (eg coloured block that changes logo colour due to opacity effects)…

I frequently present things to clients and colleagues. Both design comps and strategy presentations. I prefer to share a Figma file for this (usually in prototype/present mode) rather than do a screen share in a video conference app because it lets people see things in a full browser window and without the compression of a screen share. The problem is I have to explain how to get them into observation mode every time, and if they click or scroll on anything they exit observation mode, often without realizing it. Then I get the “wait, what slide are we on?” question and I need to explain how to follow me again. What I’d love is a way to force observation mode. This could be an option in the Options dropdown, similar to “Show Figma UI”. With this enabled (when using this URL) the viewer would always be in observation mode – observing whoever created the URL. After the presentation I could sha

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this In my humble opinion, the cursor in Figma has an ugly rendering. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Actually it looks really ugly. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation How about to change it to something cleaner? I suggest this one, looks much better: Volantes Cursors Just compare them: And there is another nice cursor:

Initial thoughts Overall – really impressive feature that has a lot of potential. However, here are a few observations that I think are worth noting. The good The potential of this feature is huge! I spent 5 minutes making an interactive radio button that can be re-used. Bish bash bosh. When designing a long service before this feature - this tiny interaction would have taken me hours. This feature will speed up the prototyping workflow 10-fold. Great work 👍 It’s a a super easy feature to pick up. Very small learning curve. The could be better Auto-layout and nested variant interactions I’ve noticed that auto-layout components containing interactive variants that expand and collapse does not respond well. Example of component and interaction:

I’m not sure if this is a feature request, a bug report, or a public service announcement. But here goes: My file has a few different pages, and I have a different prototype on each. When you launch a prototype, you expect to see the one that lives on the page you’re viewing, which is what happens - usually. I’ve noticed that if you have a prototype from the same file already open in another tab, then you will always re-run that prototype - regardless of the page you’re on when you hit the play button. It took me a while to figure out why I kept seeing the prototype from Page A when trying to play the prototype from Page B: because Page A’s prototype was still open in another tab, and Figma was just switching to that tab. A. Feature request: it would be nice if regardless of other tabs running prototypes, Figma would always show me the one I’m looking at when I hit the play button. B. Bug report: Is this the expected Figma behavior?
