Multiple independent strokes

You can currently set multiple stroke colours to an object, but they will share the same properties (thickness, position, etc.).

My idea is that you should be able to set all stroke properties on each stroke:

Make sense or am I missing something?

I guess what confuses the heck out of me is why you can even have multiple strokes at all if you can’t change their individual weights… like what is the use case for that? I guess dashes where the gaps have a different colour… beyond that I’m kind of missing the point of why they bothered to add that to the UI in the first place if it wasn’t to also allow each stroke its own weight.

Heck, you can already treat multiple strokes like individual “layers” in that you can change their stacking order. So it’s really just a small step to add that stroke / style to each stroke. I believe the OP had a pretty reasonable mockup of how the UI would work.

Think “Appearance Palette” from Illustrator…

I just don’t understand why this wasn’t considered or added to begin with? Or was this one of those things that got lost/forgotten about in shifting priorities?

I love Figma, but REALLY miss this feature from Sketch. Any update, Figma folks, if/when this might happn? Yes pls, better parity with CSS—and this, especially. <3

Dear Figma, you are wonderful, but please, PLEASE, add this feature in stroke panel… it doesn’t make any sense that i can add two or more strokes around my shape and i can’t edit the thickness of each stroke… i work a lot in the creation of UI libraries and design systems and have stroke properties separated could be tremendously heplful for me and for everyone who work with UI elements, design kits, libraries and i suppose many many other contests… thanks in advance.
