My name is Anselmo,
I would like to suggest a crucial improvement for accessibility and user experience: the implementation of a specific zoom or scale adjustment option for the sidebars (Layers and Properties).
The Problem:
- The fixed font size and element size in the sidebars, especially for users who work for long periods, cause visual fatigue and make it difficult to read information.
- The current solution of using the interface zoom (via
Shift + Cmd + +) resizes the entire application, which can compromise the canvas view and is not the ideal approach for focusing only on the panels.The Proposed Improvement:
- Add a configuration option to adjust the font size and icons in the sidebars, allowing users to customize the interface to their visual needs.
- Implement a separate zoom control for the side panels, similar to the one that exists for the canvas, offering more flexibility and control.
Why this Improvement is Important:
- Accessibility: It would make Figma more accessible to users with visual impairments or those who suffer from eye strain, promoting a more inclusive work environment.
- Productivity: It would reduce visual effort, allowing users to focus better and longer on the details of properties and layers.
- User Experience: It would significantly improve the ergonomics of the tool, addressing a common need for many professionals who rely on Figma daily.
The tool is already excellent, and this improvement, focused on accessibility, would further elevate the quality and care for the user community. Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Thank you very much!
