LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

Having multiple auto-layouts nested in the layers panel on smaller screens constantly moves the layers to the right side. Creating a need to expand the layers panel to see those layers.

Last month, our company started using Figma, and I soon encountered this interesting issue… 😓

I tried to override the CSS to allow horizontal scrolling in the layers panel.
The solution isn’t perfect, but the result is acceptable.

If you are using the Arc browser, you can add the following CSS directly using Boost,

[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="scroll_container--scrollContainer"] {
    overflow-x: scroll !important;
}
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [data-testid="layer-row"], 
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [data-testid="layer-row-with-children"] {
    min-width: fit-content;
}
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [class^="object_row--rowText"] {
    width: auto !important;
    min-width: fit-content;
}
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [class^="object_row--rowName"] {
    min-width: fit-content;
}
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [class^="object_row--row"] input[type="text"] {
    width: auto !important;
    min-width: fit-content;
}
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [class^="object_row--rowActions"] {
    position: sticky;
    right: 0;
    padding-left: 0.25rem;
    background-color: var(--color-bg, #fff);
}
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [class^="object_row--row"][class*="selected"] [class^="object_row--rowActions"] {
    background-color: var(--color-bg-selected, #daebf7);
}
[class^="pages_panel--objectPanelContent"] [class^="objects_panel--rowContainer"] [class^="object_row--row"][class*="parentSelected"] [class^="object_row--rowActions"] {
    background-color: var(--color-bg-selected-secondary, #edf5fa);
}

Or use the extension version

Hope it helps.
